Paypal 3/16 upgrade letter UPDATED (5/30)

Meanmchine · ‎05-13-2016

Was just curious if anyone had received their card yet? Or, has anyone been able to view their new account when checking their Paypal balance. So far I cant see anything.
My account still shows as a SmartConnect account.

Not me. No new card, still shows as a smart connect account when I log in.

Fico 8 6/01/25: EX 798, EQ 807, TU 793.

Me three. Has anyone asked Synchrony whether this will be reported as a new account? I really want to avoid that, and am considering opting out of this "upgrade".

Im assuming that it will be. SmartConnect account numbers start with a "6" and MCs all start with a "5"

Certainly the account number will change, but that doesn't mean it has to be a new tradeline...? Actually I wouldn't even mind a new line if the account open date stayed the same as the old one. My Smart Connect has been open for a while, but I can't afford a "new account" right now. What a way for Synchrony to spoil a planned card app!

I haven't seen a change either

and no card yet.

I received this letter too. I called as I was wondering when I would get the card (and to ask for a CLI). I was told that they are upgrading the accounts and mailing out the cards starting May 31st.

I got that letter as well quite surprised they upgraded me with a 600 run fico. Had my smart connect 14 months before letter came in March. No card yet as others said, however I was able to call papal extras automated number. I then was able to look up my account using my SS. just gotta wait for it in the mail.

Guys!!! I just called the PayPal Extra MasterCard phone number as *betax* mentioned and it "synced" with my phone number. It then prompted for the last four of my social and presented me with account info.

Only bummer, it said I had $700 available credit with $0 in use and $140 avail to cash advance. I would be really disappointed if my entire CL didn't transfer over.
I do have a balance on my current PayPal SC account though $173 out of $2.2k. Not sure if that matters?
