How to use your rewards to shop online with PayPal

Online shopping is as popular as ever. And Capital One is always looking for ways to make it easier for you—whether you’re on the couch or on the go.

With that in mind, you can now use rewards on eligible purchases at millions of online stores. All you have to do is enroll your card and check out using PayPal Pay with Rewards. This option is available for eligible Capital One cardholders, and it’s coming soon for customers with Discover cards issued by Capital One.

You can add your eligible rewards card to your PayPal account in just a few steps:

1. Sign in to PayPal and go to your wallet.

2. Click “Link a card or bank,” then select “Link a debit or credit card.”

3. Enter your eligible card information, then select the option to link your card.

Once your card is added, you’ll be able to see your available rewards balance among your payment methods. And every time you check out with PayPal, you can use your available rewards.

PayPal Pay with Rewards is coming soon for customers with eligible Discover cards issued by Capital One.

Good news: If your card is already connected to PayPal, there’s nothing else you need to do. Simply apply your rewards on eligible purchases when you check out.

It takes just a few steps to pay using your rewards with PayPal. And you can do it at millions of online retailers, including Target®, Apple® and The Home Depot®: 

1. Shop online at any participating retailer.

2. When you’re ready to pay, choose PayPal checkout and select your eligible rewards card as your payment method. 

3. Choose your rewards. 

Apply as many of your rewards as you want. If you don’t have enough to cover your purchase, you can pay for the rest using the enrolled credit card. And that will earn rewards you can put toward your next purchase.

In addition to all the benefits and security features available through your credit card, there are perks to using PayPal:

• Check out securely. Your full credit card number won’t be shared with online merchants.

• Get what you need fast. All you need to get started is your username and password—no need to enter your billing or shipping details.

• Earn great rewards. You’ll continue to earn rewards when you shop with PayPal.
