Some ideas just as known examples -- in any given category there are probably many more that will work, just look for a Paypal option on the checkout page.

Even for organic use this is incredibly easy to use as the majority of websites take Paypal.

for categories they stack (I’m not sure if any carriers accept PayPal)

This is great, since applying and becoming a card member since August 2020 am almost receiving $1k in value!
$100 (5 months of streaming credits)
$100 (5 months of wireless credits)
$200 (southwest airline credit)
$100 (saks store)
$200 (uber credits)
$100 (amex offer that came up for Dell purchase 100 off 100)
$180 (this new paypal credit)
= $980, almost doubling the $550 annual fee that was paid!

I'm actually having a hard time coming up with ideas on how to use this credit. Are there any recurring services that accept PayPal as a form of payment?
EDIT: I set my itunes account to PayPal (tied to me AMEX Platinum). Will see if that works.

I don't know how Amex handles Paypal transactions when resolving a dispute.
One time I made a large purchase through a merchant using Paypal as the payment method. When I had an issue with the quality of the merchandise, I contacted the merchant and then the credit card company. Since the transaction was coded as Paypal, the credit card company said I needed to deal with Paypal. Eventually, everything was resolved, but it's why I typically don't use Paypal for large transactions or cases where I may want purchase protection/extended warranty coverage etc, since Paypal adds an extra layer as the middle man.
As someone that that doesn't use Paypal regularly, I would recommend buying from Target or Walmart for groceries/incidental items and use Paypal as the checkout method.
Most grocery items are small enough in value that Walmart/Target will just let you exchange the item if you have an issue and you aren't going to need extended warranty protection on a jar of pickles or peanut butter or a bunch of bananas
