Not sure who all this will apply to, but I received a promotion email from PayPal that from December 16 through the 22nd, purchases will receive 5% cashback. You can earn up to $20 ($400 spend). The offer requires activation by clicking the link. You must activate by 12/20.
Check your email!! 
Why do I never get these?

Nothing - do we need to opt into these or something? I’m thinking maybe I unsubscribed at some point.
@Mia
I’ve never opted in/out of anything. I would check your marketing preferences in your settings. You could also reach out to PayPal to see if they can confirm if you’re eligible and get you a link if you are.

Same.

I do believe it should be for everyone. Check your email periodically. If you have them blocked, then you may be SOL.
Just got it, does it mean we’ll get 8% on the $400 spend in this period?

That’s a good question although I doubt it. I am assuming it’s 5% cashback on purchases made with the card in person and also PayPal purchases online.

No, only 5% total.
Oh man! I didn’t realize I got this email too! Received it today at 5pm! Thanks for the heads up!
I’m patiently refreshing email and hoping 
Wow thank you, this definitely got sent to spam and I have been ignoring this card since they dropped it to 1.5%.
Woohoo, thank you for the heads up. For some reason, my email settings have PayPal emails to auto-read so I didn’t even notice it. However…
Is this for transactions processed through PayPal only or do they really love us and the 5% counts for in-person swipe transactions too? To go from 1.5% to 5% would really be a nice boost for the week.

@Merritt
No problem! 
I assume it’s all transactions but don’t know. I feel like they would specify PayPal purchases only if it was just that. The email says “you could earn 5% cash back on your PayPal Mastercard purchases when you shop,” which sounds like all transactions! The $20 cap makes me think so too.
@Baer
True true I think you’re right. Will feel good to take this out the sock drawer for a bit & actually swipe.
I got one for Venmo visa. Extra 3% on purchases up to $20 cash back. So, top categories go from 3% to 6%, 2% to 5%, and 1% to 4%. Also, PayPal Mastercard has been very good to me in saved offers for DoorDash at 10% extra rewards, just throwing that out if you order out for food.
@Keelan
Did you just get the Venmo one?
