Look, we all know that when used right, credit card rewards are basically free money.

It's like finding $40 in the dryer, but better.

But sometimes it's just too dang hard to remember which card has which rewards, or how you actually want to spend them.

Uh, was this one cash-back...? Or travel? Double rewards??

That is, unless you've discovered PayPal's Pay with Rewards, which levels up your shopping game by letting you pay with your credit card rewards when you check out with PayPal.

All you've got to do is link your eligible credit cards to your PayPal digital wallet, and then select "Pay with Rewards" at checkout.

FYI, the list of partners already includes major credit cards like American Express, Capital One, Chase, and more!

And...that's it! You can use your rewards to shop for gifts at millions (yes, millions) of online stores.

And since PayPal is accepted at sooo many online stores, you can finally focus on what you're shopping for instead of where your cards are accepted.

You can go wild with big-ticket purchases...

You know your s/o has been hinting at upgrading your leaf blower.

...or just go for the little indulgences that make life sweeter.

Bath bombs, essential oils, candles...you know, the good stuff.

And you'll still have the usual benefits of using PayPal, like Return Shipping On Us and Purchase Protection on eligible purchases.

One less thing to worry about.

Want to put your rewards toward a good cause instead? It's just as easy to do that.

PayPal gives you the option to donate your credit card rewards as an equivalent dollar amount to a range of PayPal Giving Fund–registered charities.*

The bottom line is that you've been saving those rewards all year. 2021 is the year to start using 'em!
