I am hoping WM announces a new 5% card partner, but if they don't, I am considering:

U.S. BANK SHOPPER CASH REWARDS ($95 Annual Fee!)

6% cash back two retailers you choose (Walmart is one)

3% cash back one everyday category

1.5% cash back on all other eligible purchases

Not a long term solution, but I switched over to Chase Freedom (5% cash back for PayPal, $1,500 limit for the quarter, ends Dec 31)

I maxed my card for the $1,500 limit and then switched to my wife's card for another $1,500 limit.

I also used a targeted offer from Discover for 6% cashback for PayPal from Discover ($500 limit).

If you link your WM and PP accounts, you can use PP on the WM website to easily pay for all shipping, delivery, or pickup orders.

You are supposed to be able to use PP inside WM, but I have not done that yet.
