New rich rewards and in-store access transform PayPal into a single solution for every type of customer everywhere they shop.
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 5, 2024 – PayPal today ushered in a new era for customers, making it easier and more rewarding than ever to shop and pay with PayPal anywhere, anytime – both in stores and online. Now, customers have access to rich rewards, stackable cash back offers in the PayPal app, and more personalized ways to manage their spending – all with the safety and security PayPal is known for and the peace of mind they’re getting more money back in their pockets.
PayPal has been the go-to solution for online purchases, with the majority of U.S. adults having used PayPal in the last 5 years. Now, with consumers looking for more ways to save money on every purchase, PayPal is expanding its reward program and its availability to deliver an omnichannel solution to give consumers a smart choice for every purchase, every time. PayPal’s enhanced rewards include the ability to choose a monthly category of spending, such as groceries or clothing, to receive 5% cash back on up to $1,000 in selected category spend per month when using their PayPal Debit MasterCard. Customers can also stack rewards on top of their monthly category by discovering and saving offers in the PayPal app from top brands including Sephora, Domino’s, DoorDash, Instacart, PetSmart, and hundreds more. For example, if a customer selects Restaurant as their monthly category, they’ll receive 5% cash back and another 10% cash back [for a total of 15%] if they save a deal from DoorDash in the PayPal app, which will be automatically applied when checking out with PayPal online.
Every customer has unique needs and individual spending patterns. PayPal’s new auto-reload option empowers them to shop confidently by setting a PayPal balance threshold that automatically tops up if it dips below their chosen amount. Knowing how much is in their balance and customizing it for their shopping needs removes the guesswork and makes PayPal simpler for millions of Americans.
“We know that consumers are looking for smart, simple and safe ways to make their everyday purchases while also getting more value out of every transaction. That’s why millions of customers can now enjoy the trust and convenience they love about PayPal everywhere – both in-store and online, with access to rich rewards that put more money back in their pockets,” said Alex Chriss, President and CEO, PayPal. “It’s a pivotal moment for PayPal and our customers and a significant first step as we bring the power of PayPal to everywhere they shop.”
In addition, customers can add their PayPal Debit Card to Apple Wallet in just a few steps and use it with Apple Pay, enabling even more ways to pay.
“We’re excited to work with PayPal to bring Apple Pay to PayPal cardholders and help deliver a seamless shopping experience to even more users,” said Eddy Cue, Senior Vice President of Services at Apple. “Whether in-store, online or in-apps, PayPal cardholders will be able to enjoy the convenience and security that Apple Pay brings to their everyday lives.”
