Per PP account, but be careful. I loaded three accounts, and one got a "we need to verify some information" type message (wanted me to send in SS card, DL, utility bills, etc.).

Is that PP MyCash or Mastercard? Have you done it since 4/4?

Most people, even here at FT, have not caught on to PP MyCash :cool:

Probably fear of the paypal ban-hammer. The paypal trifecta has been a great addition to my MS routine, although it does top out at $4k/month and 50k points/year.

how do you consider this a "trifecta"? My Cash -> paypal -> PP MC -> BB or BP or something?

There's one more paypal product involved. You can't fund BB or do BP with a credit card.

Gotcha. I'm looking into this more obviously because of VR death. I thought I read somewhere in here that you could load your BB with the PP MC (debit) and then pay bills once the $ was in BB. I guess your going My Cash -> Paypal A -> Paypal B, then Paypal B withdraws?

Luckily my landlord lets me pay rent using PP. My roommate writes me a check, so being able to cover rent using my old amex blue effectively gets me 10% discount off rent every month by buying PPMC.

DaveInLA Apr 7, 2014 4:46 pm

How is that 10%? You mean because you're paying his half as well?

pthanhk Apr 7, 2014 6:47 pm

Id guess hes paying the whole rent and having the roomate pay him. I used to do that my roomates could care less, I would pay rent, cable, utilities, they paid me cash basically 3k a month I gladly offered to manage all the bills.


Also what is BP in reference to the above post, Bill Pay via BB?

Where to Purchase
 
Hey, I've read the last 15 or so pages but where else can you buy these with CC besides CVS?

Their site says, the dollar stores...is that the case?

Also, people have mentioned Walgreens but that store isn't on their site?

Thank you.
