YAY! The former worked. At first it didn't bc the only card it would get through the first step with was the one I didn't have the 4-digit code for yet. So I tried again. Here's what worked:

I went to Paypal, wallet, add card, link to Amex, added older Amex card that was actually already in the wallet (4-digit number requested), had to add code from email to amex site, then add code from text to amex site. Once that older card was in, I was able to start the process over again and add the new card without the 4-digit number. Did a dummy charge and it went through. Naturally I realize now that I cannot pay my big bill via paypal (they used to offer that). Got an extension, so that's helpful. But I wanted to let you all know the process I went through. Thanks, Ovacikar!
