Sorry Apple and oranges. You can't pc. But I will explain. PayPal rewards mastercard and smart connect  are synch. Regular trade lines. PayPal credit.is  comenity. Hidden trade line. They won't let yuhave both. But there is a way.  Create two PayPal accounts.  Two emails. Two logins. Then apply separate. That way you can have both. Paypal credit. No one  Will know  you have  except you and the bank  Not even fico. Hope you got it now.

What. You can't see it huh?  Example. Can max it brake forever to pay back. Including minimum payment. No consequence to my fico score. Because it is not on credit report.

My better half was just approved for Paypal Credit  (comenity) this eve. Been working on her credit along with mine and while she has good TL's including 1 prime card, there are 4  Medical COL accounts. 1 PIF, and 3 are unpaid as we are working on a PFD for each of them.

 

Anyway, approved for $2300 with scores in the 620-640 range across all 3. Also 2 Paid CO and 1 unpaid CO. 1 paid Judgement as well. All open TL's have 1 to 2 years of perfect payments and very low UTL. Hope this helps someone who may be considering.

Dangit I broke down and applied...  Took the hit... Only 1k approval Smiley Sad.. Least it is a hidden TL.. I kinda need more then 1k for my purchase.  What is done is done.. Time to put a seedling back in Signature.  Least no lender can see the TL.

Bad SL was due to me using pop-up on paypal and just asked me b-day and last 4 of ssn, no INCOME.. anyways when I called in she was like btw, we don't have your income, I was like DOH!  This is why short app's are bad!  Anyways updated it, will have to make a purchase to get it raised..  I really don't like how they do CLI's, but if it is hidden and go through, then who cares I guess.
