Heads up, gamers! PayPal is offering a sweet deal: get 20% back in PayPal Rewards Points on purchases from select digital gaming merchants, like Google, Twitch, PlayStation, Nintendo, and Apple. This could be a great way to save on games, subscriptions, or in-game content you were already planning to buy.
The offer technically gives points, which can be redeemed for cash or other options. You can earn a maximum of 4,500 points, which translates to $45. The deal is running until January 31, 2026, but keep in mind that each merchant has a maximum number of rewards available, so it could end sooner if they run out. So, if you're looking to stock up on some new games or need to renew your online subscriptions, now might be the perfect time to do it and snag some extra rewards!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
