PayPal card alternatives??

[InvertedGoldfish]

Hey all

Not sure where to post this, but I have a feeling someone here knows the answer

For a long time I used a PayPal debit card, it connected to my normal bank account and always had a zero balance, I’d swipe the PayPal card and it would just take the money from my normal bank account

This was great, I got a few percent back, I got a email the second it was used, and it acted as a proxy between my real bank info and the merchant

We’ll even after over a decade paypal decided to stop this functionality, now I’d have to manually transfer money into PayPal to use the card, for many reasons this isn’t something I want to do


Are there any other cards that function like the PayPal card used to?


Thanks

I don’t really have an alternative for you, but I do think you’re well rid of PayPal.

I had an identity theft problem. Most businesses were sympathetic, and at least tried to be helpful. PayPal was one of the few businesses that was actually obstructive and antagonistic. This did not concern the loss of actual money, but the establishment of a fraudulent account.

They will also shut down your account try to steal any money in the account if you buy or sell firearms, honestly I wasn’t a fan of my money having a political opinion of my life


BUTTTTT the proxy card was very useful

Venmo is no longer, they are part of PayPal and they adopted the same PayPal policy

Which of the others is the best?
