Easy 100k Brex Rewards with PayPal payment processing

Brex is hitting the market hot! A few months back they had a stellar 110k welcome offer for spending $3k in 3 months. 100k of that was earned by spending just $1k. I thought that was absolutely fantastic and swiftly made use of the offer. The points populated quickly, and I was fat and happy. H/T to VFTW

Then…Brex came out with a new offer. Set up PayPal payment processing and get another 100k bonus points. Honestly, this is beginning to feel too good to be true. However…it isn’t and was pretty simple to do

Also…I learned about some features of PayPal that I didn’t even know existed until now – so that’s amazing too.

Step 1: On the drop down menu click rewards

You’ll also notice that the offer is pretty clear to see. Sign up for PayPal payments processing and receive 100k Brex points.a screen shot of a phoneYou’ll see the next menu pop up…just click on the orange “page” button and fill out the information

I spent about 20 minutes describing the business and how PayPal could benefit me. I have primarily used PayPal to process award bookings and phone consults in the past but always used the invoice feature. I learned about the button feature as well as a couple of other tips/tricks. All in all I was on the phone for less than 20 minutes and was told that each Friday PayPal updates Brex with added accounts, etc.

    I’m trying to link my paypal account to brex. i went on brex and completed the info for paypal and got the number to call for paypal. i don’t think that person at paypal knew what they were doing. they first showed me how to link brex, which i did, but i told them i need to set up paypal to process payments. they then told me i needed a paypal business account. i created a new paypal biz account (i am a s-corp) but now i’m not sure what to do. the link on brex for paypal bonus is no longer there. i assume because i did it -but with my personal paypal account. any ideas or suggestions?
