    Is it possible to make a purchase on Dell.com using both PayPal and a CC directly through dell.com? Like, if I select PayPal as the payment method and only enter the amount that I was deducted from my PayPal account, will Dell.com prompt me to pay the balance with another payment method?

    (The reason is I want to use some funds in my PayPal account and take advantage of a Dell.com cashback offer from the CC. Won't get the cashback if the CC payment is through PayPal.)

    Hey there!
    I just tried to play around with this a bit. It looks like you can split the purchase between 2 credit cards, split between Dell DPA and a gift card.

    But I couldn't get it to work w/PayPal and a CC. :D

    Unless, someone else has a better way???


    Cin ;) :)

    If you can use two credit cards, try getting a paypal debit card, it pulls from your paypal balance

    Ingenious! I'll look into this, thanks a lot!

    I thought about purchasing a Dell gift card with the PayPal balance, but PayPal isn't a payment option for gift cards. :/
