Are you talking about adding your Disco card as a payment method via PayPal?

 

It will just show up as a charge, mine say "Paypal, vendor" as regular charges.

It will be considered as a Cash Advance.

When I sent money to another person this way it showed up as a regular transaction and not a cash advance. I've done so with both a Discover and Chase Visa.

If you build it, they will come.

A friend of mine, sent money to someone through Paypal and used their linked credit card, and it posted as a cash advance. Venmo or Plastiq however, treats them as a regular CC transaction.

Can't comment on Disco but for my BoA Cash Rewards it always showed up as a purchase, regardless of whether the money was sent as a gift or for goods/services.
