PayPal customers across the UK can now access the new PayPal+ loyalty programme, with PayPal Debit and Credit Cards also available.
PayPal is relaunching as a unified payment experience for customers to shop online and now in-stores. Touted as the smarter way to pay, PayPal’s new offering is designed to make shopping more rewarding for millions of British consumers.
PayPal customers across the UK can now access the new PayPal+ loyalty programme, with PayPal Debit and Credit Cards also available.
Earn rewards on everything that counts with PayPal+
PayPal’s loyalty programme is available to British customers before anyone else in the world. Consumers can sign-up to PayPal+ for free in the PayPal app and start earning points on both online and in–store purchases.
Points can be earned almost every time a customer pays with PayPal balance, their preferred card or Buy Now Pay Later.
Consumers can then redeem their points to spend when they check out with PayPal online at millions of shops worldwide.
And PayPal+ points have real value: every 1000 points equals £10 to spend with PayPal. Compatible with other loyalty programmes, PayPal+ points can be stacked and earned on top of other loyalty points, making it even easier for consumers to get the most out of their everyday spend.

Designed to reward loyalty without membership fees or redemption limits, PayPal+ aims to revolutionise the rewards industry.
Starting at the Blue tier, consumers unlock Gold and Black tiers as they earn more points, with each tier recognising loyalty with even bigger rewards. Gold and Black tier members enjoy points worth up to 50% more at checkout, along with access to VIP experiences and other exclusive perks.
Free PayPal Debit Card
The launch of PayPal cards marks a step forward in PayPal’s transformation from an online payment service to a seamless way to pay almost everywhere. For the first time in the UK, PayPal will launch a PayPal Debit Card for consumers, which can be used worldwide without PayPal transaction fees.
When linked to PayPal+, customers can take their earning potential to new levels: they will earn 10 times the points by using the PayPal Debit Card when paying for everyday purchases.
Offering customers more value, and flexibility, the new PayPal Debit Card will link directly to the PayPal wallet, making it easy to track everyday spend and maximise rewards in one convenient place.

PayPal’s popular Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) solution, Pay in 3, will continue to provide customers with another flexible way to pay online, and also earn customers PayPal+ points.

Tamer El‑Emary, General Manager of PayPal UK, said, “Our investment reflects a deep commitment to British consumers, businesses, and communities. We’ve listened to our customers and built products that rethink how people use PayPal every day.”
