Looks like Paypal won't be replacing my credit cards in stores ever. I tried to redeem the "$5 off $25 at Home Depot when you pay with PayPal" offer at a Home Depot store. The POS terminal had a Paypal option. I just couldn't get it to accept my payment no matter what I did. I wasted 20 minutes. There was no way to get help from Paypal. In the end, I could only pay without Paypal (and forfeit the $5 discount). If I ever need to reach my credit card company, I can call them right from the store and they make sure things are good to go. This experience taught me to not bother with Paypal for in-store purchases.
