That would not work either. Paypal debit card is MC first off and backup funds cannot be credit cards. From paypal-
"You can choose a confirmed bank account or your PayPal Plus Credit Card or PayPal Buyer Credit balance as a backup funding source for your PayPal Debit Card.
To use a confirmed bank account as a backup funding source, you must have a credit card added, (and have completed the Expanded Use Process, if applicable).
To use PayPal Plus Credit Card or PayPal Buyer Credit, you must complete the application and be approved."
I had toyed with the idea of using convenience checks, but those are not eligible for MR points. Even if they were eligible, the fees involved would negate any benefit
