PayPal Community

I should have read the posts here first and tried a test purchase for a small amount. I also tried to use the PayPal QR code to pay at CVS and the cashier just received an error message. He knew it was for payment since he asked if I wanted to pay with a credit card instead. Since they were promoting the use of PayPal and Venmo in the bottom of my shopping basket, one would assume they knew how to do it, but maybe not. After tooling around the store for 15 minutes looking for useful items to bring my total up to the required $20 charge, I was more than annoyed that I couldn't take advantage of the CVS offer. ...

I just found my CVS $10.  It's convoluted.  My offer was a joint promotion between CVS AND Venmo and the $10 is in the "OFFERS" section of my Venmo account which I accessed through my iPhone app.  I have to click the top right "QR code" link on the red Virtual CVS card image too.  Otherwise, it just uses the funds in your account or the funds tied to you account.  Very SNEAKY Venmo!  Lame that they did that and they don't give ANY clear instructions on Paypal or Venmo on how to find that $10! ...

I used a portion of mine on Ebay, then the rest I used at CVS using QR payment. From the info on the voucher itself it looks like most places online that accept Paypal should work, but I have only Ebay to confirm that it works. ... View more

I contacted Paypal through the CONTACT tab help and support online. This is the best place to go when all else fails. You can leave a detailed message and they responded to me that they were escalating my email. I got the $10 reward today in my email, along with instructions and a link to see it in the Offers section of your account page. This only show up after the offer goes through. Since this is an issue, you will have to contact them to get your reward. Good luck. ... View more

Hey! Go to Paypal CONTACT Message online. They make you leave a message, but they did reply back in a week or so. They said they were aware of issues with this offer and were escalating my complaint. A couple weeks later I have my $10 reward. They even give you links to find it in your account and a better expiration date. Although, redemption instructions i have yet to try. I came back to this page to tell you. I know tou have had the most trouble with the offer. Just reach out to Paypal. They will fix it for you. That was my next step once I didn't see a solution here. Good luck ... View more

yes terms say you will not get the reward for certain items. I believe a gift card is one, but the payment should have worked and still scanned and charged to your paypal. they just do not know how to ring it up. ... View more

They don't understand what you are scanning. Tell them NOT to scan as a coupon or giftcard, but to go to the payment screen and scan. If you look at their payment credit card machine it says PAYPAL on it. It is simply that but without touching the button. They need to get the HANDHELD scanner and scan your QR code. You have to open your paypal app and push pay with QR code. The issue with this promo is the reward voucher. I cannot find mine anywhere. The fine print does not tell you it will be delayed. They say it will show in your offer section of your account. There is none. There is only OFFERS and DEALS. It is also supposed to be a $10 reward applied to any paypal checkout purchase, but I have seen people say that it is a coupon that most places will not accept. This offer is the worst. I am messaging them tomorrow about it. ... View more

WHAT?! this offer is crayzee. How did you mean accepts the offer? It should automatically apply to your next Paypal purchase as it is a reward voucher. I cannot find it showing anywhere. They say it is in the OFFERS section of your account, but there is none. It is now OFFERS and DEALS that are for shopping with paypal. THIS PROMO STINKS. Thanks for the info I will root around my wallet! ... View more
