Points will appear as pending in your account overview within 1-14 days of completing your qualifying purchase or incentivized activity. Points will remain pending for up to 90 days and cannot be used or redeemed during this time. Travel-related points (such as points earned from eligible hotel reservations, airfare, or rental cars) may take longer. Once points are ready to redeem, we’ll send you a confirmation email. You will also be able to see in your Rewards dashboard when points are no longer pending and are available to redeem.

How much are PayPal Rewards points worth?
Points cannot be purchased, are not your property, are not money, can expire, and have no value prior to redemption. While points may be redeemed for cash back, other redemption options are available. You are not required to redeem your points for cash back.

When redeeming, reward points typically equate to $0.01 per point,. For example, 100 points typically can be redeemed for $1 of cash back. We may offer different rewards conversion rates. Check the conversion rate at the time you redeem your points.

PayPal Rewards don’t expire as long as your PayPal account stays active. A PayPal account is considered active if you interact with it (log in or otherwise transact using it) at least once within a consecutive 12-month period.

Will I earn PayPal Reward points if I return a purchase?
You will not earn points for any item that you return or receive a full refund on. If you return all or part of your purchase or receive a refund on it, the number of points you receive on your purchase will be reduced based on the new subtotal of eligible items, regardless of pending status.
