Q4 2022 Chase Freedom Cards--5% bonus: Walmart & Paypal

I thought this was worth sharing as you can enroll starting today. Keep an eye on Walmart purchases, as there were some issues with some stores coding as grocery and then people not getting 5X. Walmart.com should be fine.

Same categories as in 4th Quarter of 2020 and 2021:

Q4 2021 Chase Freedom Cards--5% bonus: Walmart & Paypal Purchases

Freedom/Freedom Flex Q4 2020 bonus categories: PayPal & Walmart

...which means many questions can be answered by reviewing those threads.

Can you generate a QR code with paypal at the register of Wags/CVS ? I see this confirmed for "pharmacies" but wanted to make sure both places accepted. Going for the 7x on VGC for the Flex in q4 and hoping a chase offer populates as well for CVS/Wags

Try this, from the thread where AMEX had a monthly PayPal promo
American Express Platinum: $30 PayPal Credit Per Month Until June 30

It worked last year at CVS. Walgreens didn't accept Paypal. Do they accept it now?

I have 2 Freedom cards and a Freedom Flex. I'm very happy about this.

The PayPal option for Walgreens is online only I think, but can be used for curb/ instore pickup.

I'm sure this is more of Paypal question but I just went and got a VGC from a pharmacy with my Flex and paid with my QR code with Paypal. I instantly got $10 back from Paypal. What was this promo, I didn't sign up for any?

not sure about yours, but I just got an email from both Starbucks and Paypal to "Enjoy $5 off when you use PayPal to reload your Starbucks Card or make a purchase of $10 or more." It's not much, but a double dipping opportunity is a double dipping opportunity

PayPal at Walgreens and CVS on Flex is rewarding 7% currently (4% for Q4 PayPal, 2% for Pharmacy and 1% standard).

PayPal in-store at CVS is rewarding 7% on Flex. (Aside from online purchases.)

But man, that is one of the worse implementations. It takes 15-30 seconds to get an authorization from PayPal and you have to setup the QR code instructions each time (don't use balance, select Flex as default) before scanning, and in my case, PayPal came back with a different approved amount than what the total was so I had to use a supplemental card. Makes no sense.

If I use PayPal for an on-line purchase billed in €, does that get charged a foreign transaction fee? Put another way, does using PayPay mask the underlying currency? Thanks.

On a web checkout, I recall Paypal giving the choice to bill me either in USD at a Paypal-converted rate, or in the original currency, which will then be converted by the underlying card you use (triggering any FTF etc). I don't recall Paypal's rate, but I doubt it's ever better than your card's.

Yep. PayPal gives you the choice of paying in USD or directly in the merchant currency. Paying in USD escapes the FTF but Paypal's exchange rate is really, really bad so it's cheaper to pay Chase the 3%.
