News: More Redemption Options with PayPal's Pay with Rewards - Credit-Land.com

American Express, Chase, Citi, a Credit-Land.com advertising partner, and Discover cardmembers can use their credit card rewards to shop directly at their favorite brands with PayPal.

PayPal now allows to redeem rewards from eligible credit cards when consumers are making a purchase with PayPal account through Pay with Rewards program. Currently, there are only four partners and rewards programs that allow this: Amex with Membership Rewards®, Chase with Ultimate Rewards® via Chase Pay®, Citibank with ThankYou® Rewards, and Discover with Cashback Bonus®. However, PayPal left some room to further expand this list of partners.

The cardholders of eligible credit cards can use Pay with Rewards feature at any online or in-app merchant that accepts PayPal as payment in the United States. Points, cash back, miles or other reward types can be used within PayPal checkout to pay for all or part of purchases.
