PayPal In Store Card?

Anybody using this? I ordered a card the other day, it prompted me to do so when I was checking out for a purchase.

 

How do you like it? Does it only let you use BML with merchants that have a BML relationship (sometimes I go to check out with paypal and BML isn't an option, but using my checking account or registered cards is). Just tryna figure out will I get to use my BML account for purchases in store or is this just a link to one of my credit cards without carrying the actual card?

I have a card that is linked to my Paypal Smart Connect account. I am not sure everywhere you can use the card, but I have used it at home depot. I know there are other retailers that accept paypal as well. It is a shiny silver card that says paypal in blue.

Re: PayPal In Store Card?

Ummm, can we back up and get a few simple response answers... Im so confused with half the posts!

 

1.  You ordered a PayPal Debit Card (MasterCard Logo) and it's linked to either your PayPal Balance or Smart Connect Credit Line?

2.  Bill Me Later can be used many many places and if you have it will also be available on your PayPal log in.

3.  PayPal MasterCard is also available through GE Bank and is a credit card that will be linked to your paypal account but can be used everywhere MasterCard is accepted.

 

You have any of these?

What is the quesitons?

 

Thank you.

Hmm this sounds like it may be the same card or atleast close to it, but I don;t have a paypal smart connect account....

No to 1 and 3. I am pretty sure this card doesn't have a credit card logo at all.

 

I have a BML account, which is has no card or anything, I just use it to pay online with different merchants.

 

A few days ago I was placing an order and used BML and it said "order your in store card". I said yes, and from what I understand, its a card you can swipe and it links to your paypal account and allows you to use that as a form of payment at in person merchants. I am trying to find out what parts of my paypal account it links to for payment- only a checking account, or credit cards, or my BML?

Based off everyone's posts, it appears Paypal has multiple products that do the same thing... weird....

 

Here is the link to the info page, but it seems very brief...
