How much are you able to do max cashback? Don't know if it is safe to do multiple max cashbacks per transactions.

The local CVS and RA only allow US$40 cashback per transaction. Wallgreens allows US$20. I haven't checked out supermarkets (they probably have a higher limit but again, haven't gotten around to investigating). I usually buy about US$10 in necessities at each trip so with the forty in cash the transaction is always US$50-60. I never go to the same chain in the same day. I pass by a CVS or RA practically every day so it's easy for me to find something to buy and add a cashback to it. I fill up my wallet with cash so I never have to go to the ATM any more, and in fact at the end of the week, sometimes I can put some of the cash back in the bank to pay off my credit card bills.

So I haven't pushed it with multiple cashbacks on the same day, and don't want to. With this kind of conservative spend, I clear 1K-2K with PayPal monthly. Plus, I do have some very legitimate spending with my PPBDMC and get the 1% cashback for it! It's not fast and clean MS, but it's nice and safe. This kind of strategy is good to meet minimum spend for CC sign-up bonuses (that's what I've been doing these last several months).

Of course, all of this may go away because my go-to RA have become real jerks about not selling me PPMC with CC. I have to try the CVS stores here.

Went to CVS today to buy 2 Paypal Cash cards for $500 on each. After the cashier swiped my card for the second $500 card and then scanned my ID, the register froze. She called the manager and the manager told her to try another register, to my surprise, the same exact thing happened. I haven't bought any Paypal cash cards since Nov 14th, so i couldn't have exceeded the 2k limit.

You are violating the rules of MS. Never buy stuff you don't need just for MS! You are losing $$.. Also if the above poster doesn't know why the CVS register froze, he should get out of the game!!

...Why don't you just tell me instead of making jokes.

Point taken, though I'm not buying useless stuff--I will use what I purchase, so it's not a loss for me. Whether it's a juice, some cans of soup that I will eat later in the week or whatever, yeah it might be spending $US4 to qualify for a cashback opportunity, but I'm going to use those things fairly soon anyway.

Good data point, 2013. I can't give you any insight as to why that register might be freezing. Maybe just try buying one US$500 at a time? This kind of report is making me really sulky and ready to quit the game for a while. It's just starting to be a hassle to get these PPMC.

I'd buy one, but it seems like a waste to me. Funny enough, the CVS about half a mile from the one i went to doesn't require ID. I went there instead lol.

$100 @ any WM, $40 @ TGT and $40-60 most grocery stores (e.g. Albertsons).

I sometimes use my PPDC for $100 CB for 2 items. $100 for the 1st and another $100 for the 2nd. Two separate transactions. Of course only @ the self checkout and only when there's no lineup. Then I go around to the next register - making sure the cashier supervisor doesn't see me - and deposit my "exess" cash to Serve :cool:

For me $100 @WM, aldi(even though some ppl claimed $200 for aldi, never worked for me).. I do 1k MO with $100 cash back.

Looks like too much hassle here.

Does anyone know if OD will allow you to buy PPMC with CC? I know they don't allow VGCs for $20-500 to be bought with CC.

It's not just being unprofitable. You can allow your account to lie dormant and the account will be just as unprofitable. Reasonable money laundering risk is probably a factor as well.

It is almost all about profitability, may be a little about anti-fraud, but not really about against money laundering. People who only do MO & Billpay got the love letter is the evidence. For these it is unnecessary to go through Paypal if you were to digest your piles of cash. Another note is that people who do a lot of real spending did not get the letter.

Real spending w/ PPBDMC is critical. And why not? Most likely you're getting cb/rewards on the load purchase (I certainly hope you are) plus the 1% back from PP for signature purchases.

I love this card for bs spend; especially for small transactions.

Finally got the Compliance mail from Paypal. Now What?
 

Hello,

I got an email that says in these lines.

"Dear PayPal Account Holders,


We like to keep things safe and secure, including your PayPal account. To do this, we regularly check the activity on our customers' accounts.

We're not sure you're aware but it appears the MyCash has been used for deposits to your PayPal account, and then those deposits have been withdrawn.

What should I do now? I have some level of access for mycash cards. How can I be low?
Any other cards that take mycash?
