I loaded mine to AP. I activated them on PayPal's site first which asks for a SSN if you don't have a PayPal account. Heads up that you're only allowed 3 of these PP debit cards PER PayPal account.

Did U drain your 6 cards? It is activated at the register on payment. Is this card immediately usable for shopping without registering? If registering is necessary can U register all 6 cards to yourself and link to your Paypal account?

I have made the mistake of not getting the memo about the 3 cards per SSN. I went for #4 and it wants me to call. But trying to do that now is not good. It takes a long time to get thru to the paypal PP when it's not crammed like it was today due to CVS promo.
I had one of these once. It is a bit of a PITA to cancel it. Well, I have 22 cards so I guess I have my work cut out for me, eh? lol
but my wife was already having a shopping spree in CVS cosmetics and Xmass and toys areas!

Does anyone know once the cards are emptied if we need to call PayPal to actually cancel/close the account?

I went ahead and loaded up $500 and unloaded it to my BB at Wally World. I registered it, but it wanted more info as I currently have a card. I was able to load the entire $500 before the $4.95 fee hit. They have that card associated to my SSN now, so do I need to worry about paying that $4.95 fee or will it just wash away? Any ideas?

Long ago I mistakenly bought one of these when looking for paypal cards, which at the time rarely if ever existed in my stores.
I got this and had to rego it to get the perm. I was able to use it.
But to cancel that thing was a huge pita! That I do recall
Now tonight I find I have to rego the temp and tried to do on phone. Got half way in and it wanted me to speak to cs. I was on hold... Went to pick up take out Thai... Still on hold. Stopped into a store and bought a gc or two... Still on hold. In fact here's a new one for you: clerk said he could not do my trans while I was on my phone. New policy. Wth. So I put the phone on another end of the counter hoping cs would not answer while it was far away and bought my gcs. Still on hold. Drove home with my Thai food. Still on hold. Gave up after 30 mins. Will have to call again but yah, we can burn the temp but do have to cancel the perm or it will try to bill us. To do that you have to call. It was a long hold back when I did it once. Today's was probably due to the cvs thing but still, it will be a LONGGGGGG call just to cancel one.

Maybe we should have just done a higc on them and call and say you dont agree w the tcs and have them mail a check.
After all these things are backed by bancorp too, our favorite

It says one per household but I believe you can get up to two cards per CVS card. On the receipt after you get the second card, it will say "300.00 - offer limit reached."
Any idea if we can report the cards as lost/stolen as a way to close the account?
