There is no need to do this when you have Serve and MOs, but do what you want.

This.

Can we stop with the crazy bank strategies? It is all fun and games until PayPal pulls a PayPal and freezes your account.

Commdiver -- I don't understand why people have to make it more difficult than it needs to be. You already have the debit card, all you have to do is go get the MOs and deposit them...

Maybe they live in areas with few WMs, but still...There are websites out there devoted to the horror stories about PayPal freezing accounts. I would rather not MS than risk that.

Can you load a serve account with Paypal? I'm trying to limit my MO traffic because I'm worried about banks shutting my accounts...

Did you even bother reading the wiki?

Le sigh. Look, messing with PP is playing with fire and everyone knows it, or should. Go easy, upscale slowly is the advice. And even then, accounts get shutdown. It's a gamble so you gotta ask yourself how much money can you put on a shelf, frozen, for 6 months? $500? $1500? $4000? More? Whatever that number is, don't go beyond it if you want to be "safe."

Will using the PPBDC regularly to pay off a Citi CC balance raise red flags?

wiseonewill Aug 14, 2014 1:31 pm

Apologies up front as I'm sure that this is covered in this thread but I couldn't find it.

I understand that I can have two PP accounts, premier and personal. I already had a premier account with a PP Biz Debit. I set up a personal account and went to request a PP Biz Debit but it says that I have to upgrade to a premier account.

1. If I do that, will PP allow me to have 2 premier accounts?
2. Is there anyway to get a PP Biz Debit without upgrading?

My account is new and I haven't loaded any PPMC into it yet b/c I wanted to make sure I had a Biz Debit to pull funds out.

Any advice or help with finding the answer within this forum are greatly appreciated.

Has anyone had issues loading their amex serve account online with their paypal debit card?

I'm nervous to do this for $1k a month that's allowed out of fear paypal will shut me down, but you guys tell me, have you all done this safely at either $200 or $500 per day?

I've been doing it at $500/day for the last two months.
Was doing $200/day before that with BB but switched to Serve with ISIS.

Did you get any cash back for Citi CC payment? I didn't get it myself.

Just got off the phone with Serve, paypal is denying them the ability to add my business debit card to my serve account. She went to their tech team and all the requests serve is sending paypal are being denied. Not sure if I should call paypal to find out what's going on or if that would put a fat flag on my account :confused:
