How you can use the rewards

Use PayPal+ points for money off eligible purchases at merchants accepting PayPal checkout. Included under Cash & flexible rewards because they reduce eligible checkout costs across merchants. They are not withdrawable cash and cannot be used wherever a payment card is accepted.

Comparison valuation: 1p per point. This is an estimated value, not a guaranteed cash payout.

Provider example: 1,000 PayPal+ points = £10 off.

Important assumptions

Credit-card statements are paid in full. Rewards are estimates; offers require eligibility and spend targets. This calculator compares potential value; it does not predict whether you’ll be accepted for a card. Interest rates may change. Paying credit-card interest can outweigh rewards.

How this comparison works

1

Enter your monthly spending

We use your typical monthly spend to estimate normal cashback or reward value.

2

Select your cards and cash account

Compare debit and credit cards with the cash account you use before paying the statement.

3

See your estimated value

Compare normal monthly value and separate temporary promotional benefits.

How we model it: annual fees are spread monthly, points are converted using the valuation stored in our dataset, and signup bonuses only count when your entered spend can meet the stated target. Provider rates and offers change, so always check the latest terms before applying.
