PayPal Offer: 5% Cash Back on Best Buy, Walmart and Staples Online Purchases

The Deal

PayPal Offers site shows 5% cash back on Best Buy, Walmart and Staples purchases, among many others, when you pay online with PayPal. We’ve singled out these three because they sell third party gift cards and occasionally even run promos on them. The offer wouldn’t work for these brands’ own gift cards, since (ironically) such purchases are processed by a third party.

The cash back you earn is in addition to the credit card rewards, but you need to save the offer first, while you are logged in to your account.

Key Terms

• Best Buy and Walmart offers valid through January 7, 2025 (no end date is currently shown for Staples offer)
• Availability is limited, so check your saved deals to see what’s still valid
• Offers valid only for online checkout with PayPal

Tips & Ideas

• Use Chase Freedom to stack this offer with 2024 Q4 PayPal category bonus if you haven’t maxed it out yet
• Check if it is possible to stack this offer with the targeted Amex Offer for purchases at Best Buy
• Check which third party gift cards (if any) are currently on promo at bestbuy.com, staples.com and walmart.com
• If there are no current promos, wait for Best Buy to run one on Apple gift cards, for example, as they frequently do around the holiday season
