DId anyone get a paypal Debit Card w/o asking

April 02, 2014 08:14PM
I recently opened 2 lines of credit one for entertainment (Conn's) and one for medical (Dentist a necessity). Now I have received a preapproval application for a gas card and an actual DEBIT card for Paypal. The Paypal card does say if you don't use it, destroy it but still. I don't like the idea of them making that decision for me. My first thought is that I am getting these offers because of the new credit and good standing I have with my credit scores. But then again, I don't want to miss anything.

So my question is "Has anyone else received the Paypal Debit card in the mail?

a friend of mine received one years ago....never asked for one.
rarely used the account. year later claim that they spent 4k. Apparently
after that card a paypal line of credit was opened also shortly after...

Usually for the debit card you have to "apply" for it because
they do a credit check to give you one...

just occasionaly check your paypal account to make sure no

I got a business Paypal card but I thought it was a debit card and not a credit card. I use a Debit Paypal card all the time with about $3000 going out of it monthly.

I got one too. I did not request it. It went straight to the shredder.

I've got one laying around here somewhere that they sent me without asking, but it was in connection with my opening a business Paypal account, not randomly after I did something unrelated. I find that odd.

Time to build a bigger bridge.

I have a requested Business Paypal card - and enjoy the cash back option on it. However, I specifically requested it, and if I had received one in the mail without any authorization I would find that to be EXTREMELY hinky and follow through with them. I am a PayPal fan, for many years now.....but still highly prefer paper checks (old school).
