EBay MasterCard

[bichonmom]

Anybody have the eBay MasterCard? http://www.mastercard.ebay.com/?channel=0&promo=154

Looks like they have pretty good rewards. 

http://sgweimroln.com/ebay-reward-terms.htm

• 3x points/$1 spent on
    Gas & Restaurant Purchases
• 2x points/$1 spent on
    eBay & PayPal Purchases
• 1x points/$1 spent on
    all other MasterCard Purchases

Plus, they're GEMB,so good with CLIs. Geez, this is addictive! It's so cool to know that I actually could get this card! Id love to know what others who have it think about it.

 Edited for autocorrect!

I don't think its a bad deal; definately a better deal than paypal mastercard or bill me later.
I still like my chase amazon more.

This might be a good option for those who are rebuilding. GE is really stepping up on their major cc offerings.

Seems to be identical to the PayPal Extras Mastercard, except it says ebay instead of paypal on it, but ebay owns paypal so I think they're just branded differently. Only difference is you can get a counter offer with paypal for paypal smart connect, I don't know if you can get that with ebay card. 

Edit: after some research I found that you're not allowed to have both an ebay and a paypal credit card, which to me, means they are in fact the same exact thing. They are both GECRB, and they have the same rewards structure, only difference is ebay card has that special offer that you posted.

Hrm, there's not a whole lot of information on the underwriting criteria out there on this card?

Have to admit that's a pretty nice reward package for my current financial life at least.  Restaurants and a non-trivial amount of Paypal transactions.

Edit: nice catch jsucool on it's identical stats as the Paypal Extras MC - likely identical underwriting too.

Yeah,I do like that it'sGEMB. Wish I could pc my ON visa that I don't use.

In general, I know GE is pretty easy. How are they with the PayPal card? What kind of CLs do they give? I'm liking this card more.

I got the smart connect counteroffer, but there was a thread on the boards here (think it's still on page one) OP had a $5000 limit, and upped to $7000 at the 4 month mark, not sure about their scores.

The reward on both eBay and PayPal MC are pathetic. Each points is worth about 0.6 cents.

So you are getting 0.6%, 1.2%, and 1.8% return respectively.

Man I'm glad I was denied for it then! (Got denied for a paypal MC because I already have a paypal line of credit. Kinda dumb in my opinion)

I had a 685 TU fico approved for Paypal MC extras card with a 2k limit, Income of 83k, 10 TU INQ's in the last 2 years, GE almost always pull TU, its my fourth GE card. Card is only a month old so haven't tested the CLI yet, but have heard good things. Have only ran a single purchase on the card, read about the rewards program after APing for the card probably wouldn't of got the card if I knew how bad they were, but oh well have the card, will probably only use it for paypal purchases.
