Paze $10 Back Promo: What Still Works
The Paze promotion offering $10 back after spending $10 or more is still one of the better shopping deals available, especially for anyone with several eligible cards. But many of the easiest ways to use the credits, including several gift card options, have stopped working since the promotion launched.
There are still several useful ways to redeem any remaining credits before the offer ends, including purchases at Macy’s, Newegg, Dunkin, restaurant orders, inexpensive products, PayRange reloads and charitable donations. Eligible Chase cardholders may also be able to stack these purchases with a separate promotion offering 10 additional Ultimate Rewards points per dollar when paying through Paze.
How the Paze $10 Back Promotion Works
Cardholders receive a $10 statement credit each time they spend at least $10 in a qualifying Paze transaction. The offer can be used up to 10 times on each eligible card, providing a maximum of $100 back per card.
The promotion is available on eligible credit and debit cards from participating financial institutions. That includes:
- Bank of America
- Capital One
- Chase
- Citi
- Discover (if migrated to Capital One)
- PNC
- Truist
- US Bank
- Wells Fargo
Before completing a purchase, make sure the $10 offer appears beside the selected card in the Paze checkout window. A transaction may not qualify if the offer is not displayed.
The final posted charge must be at least $10. Taxes and shipping generally count toward the transaction total, so an item priced below $10 may still qualify if the final charge reaches the required amount.
The Options That Still Work
Some of the easiest gift card deals have long stopped working. So let’s see what is still available to use with the Paze $10 off $10 promotion. There are even more options that are not listed here, so check the full merchant directory.
Macy’s
Macy’s recently added Paze as a checkout option, giving cardholders another major retailer where they can use their remaining credits.
The best strategy is to look for clearance items, beauty products, household goods and other inexpensive merchandise priced around $10. Store pickup is preferable when available because shipping fees will kill the deal.
You may also be able to start the purchase through a shopping portal to earn additional cash back or points. Any order that includes a gift card will not show Paze as a checkout option. So stick with regular merchandise and confirm that Paze appears before placing the order.
Local Restaurants Through Clover
Hundreds of restaurants use Clover Online Ordering and accept Paze at checkout. This is one of the easiest ways to use the credit for something you would purchase anyway, especially in areas with many participating restaurants.
Clover gift-card purchases no longer appear to work, so stick with regular food orders and verify that the offer is shown before paying. In some cases restaurants will have gift cards as an item on their menu, and that should trigger the credit.
Here’s a helpful map where you can find eligible restaurants nearby. Another option here.
Other Restaurant Orders
Several restaurant chains continue to accept Paze for online orders. Options have included:
- Domino’s
- Little Caesars
- Wendy’s (no longer available for some people)
- Whataburger
The easiest approach is to build an order that comes to slightly more than $10 after taxes. Availability can vary by location, so verify that Paze is offered at checkout before ordering.
Charitable Donations
Cardholders who do not need more merchandise can use some of their remaining credits for charitable donations.
Reported options have included making a donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through Domino’s checkout or donating to Smile Farms through 1-800-Flowers. The transaction must still be processed through Paze for at least $10, and the offer should appear beside the card before payment.
This can be a good way to use credits that might otherwise expire, although you should consult a tax professional before claiming a charitable deduction for any amount that is later reimbursed.
PayRange Reloads
PayRange is used at many laundromats, vending machines, apartment laundry rooms and arcades. Users have reported being able to add $10 to a PayRange balance through Paze and receive the corresponding statement credit.
Check the reload amount carefully because the app may default to a higher amount. The PayRange balance can then be used gradually at participating machines.
Sephora
Sephora carries many travel-size and mini beauty products priced below $10. Combining two or more inexpensive items can bring the final transaction above the qualifying amount.
You may also be able to earn additional rewards through a shopping portal. Some users have encountered errors when the email address associated with their Sephora account does not match the one connected to Paze, so using the same email address may help.
Newegg
Newegg still sells plenty of inexpensive products, including cables, electronics accessories, home items, software and computer components.
Gift cards are no longer the easy option they once were, but physical products with a final price of at least $10 can still work when the Paze offer appears at checkout.
Newegg purchases are no longer eligible for Chase’s separate 10X Paze promotion, but they still qualify for the $10 statement credit. See eligible items here that cost up to $11.
GNC
GNC sometimes has vitamins, snacks and other products priced around $10. Free shipping through Subscribe & Save or another promotion can make it easier to keep the total close to the $10 requirement.
Be sure to review any subscription terms and cancel future shipments when appropriate.
Fanatics
Fanatics frequently has clearance merchandise priced at only a few dollars. Shipping can bring a low-priced item above $10, allowing the purchase to qualify while keeping the out-of-pocket cost after the statement credit relatively small.
For example, an item priced at $3.99 with $6.99 shipping would produce a total close to $11 before tax. Gift cards don’t work.
Dunkin
Regular Dunkin food and beverage purchases remain another possible option where Paze is available.
You can also purchase a new $10 Dunkin card through the app and add it to your account. Results may vary, and most likely you will only be able to get one or two $10 gift cards before your Paze account is locked for 24- to 48-hours.
Earn 10X Chase Points With Paze
There is also a separate Chase promotion that awards eligible Sapphire and Freedom cardholders 10 additional Ultimate Rewards points per dollar on qualifying Paze purchases.
The extra points are earned on top of the card’s normal rewards and apply to up to $1,500 in eligible Paze spending per month through the end of 2026.
Eligible cards include select versions of:
- Chase Sapphire Reserve
- Chase Sapphire Preferred
- Chase Freedom
- Chase Freedom Flex
- Chase Freedom Unlimited
The two promotions can stack. A qualifying $10 purchase could generate a $10 statement credit while also earning the card’s standard rewards and an additional 100 Ultimate Rewards points.
Since the $10 statement credit is limited to purchases of at least $10, it makes sense to keep those transactions as close to $10 as possible. Larger Paze purchases can still be useful for earning the Chase bonus after the statement credits have been exhausted.
Tips for Using Your Remaining Credits
- Confirm that the $10 offer appears beside the selected card before every purchase. Merchant participation and eligible transaction types have changed during the promotion, so a method that worked previously may not continue working.
- Use Dunkin gift card option last, as that will likely lock your account for a day or two.
- When possible, choose store pickup or free shipping, use a shopping portal and pay with an eligible Chase card that also earns the additional 10X points.
- The amount that posts to your card must be at least $10. Shipping and taxes count because eligibility is based on the final posted transaction amount. For example, a $9.99 item plus $1 in tax should qualify because the total charge is $10.99.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
Many of the easiest gift card options have disappeared, but there are still practical ways to use the remaining Paze credits. Macy’s is a useful new addition, while restaurant orders, PayRange reloads, inexpensive merchandise and charitable donations provide several alternatives. Some Discover cards are also eligible for Paze checkout now.
The key is to keep each transaction close to $10, verify that the offer appears during checkout and use Chase cards first so you can earn the additional 10X points.
