PayPal is ramping up its cashback rewards program to drive in-store usage, particularly for groceries and gas, marking a shift from its traditional online payment model. CEO Alex Chriss highlighted the program's success during a Goldman Sachs conference, emphasizing PayPal's goal to become a more habitual payment method. To support this strategy, PayPal launched its largest U.S. advertising campaign, featuring actor Will Ferrell and a reimagined version of Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere." The campaign showcases the ease of using PayPal's services across various shopping scenarios, offering up to 5% cashback with the PayPal Debit Mastercard. Additionally, the company is pushing to expand Venmo’s in-person usage and integrating with Apple and Google wallets.
