PayPal 2% Cashback Approval

I emerged from the garden to apply for this card! I was hesitant to try because I heard of others getting very small limits with higher Transunion score than mine (640). I decided to bite the bullet anyway since this card seems to grow very fast.

 

I've been a PayPal customer for many years so I’d hoped that would help my profile though the card is from Synchrony and I don’t have any of their cards. I clicked submit and then .... approved for $200. I must say I was somewhat disappointed until I saw that was the temporary limit and my actual limit when I receive the card is $4k!

 

Very pleased! Now in the garden until next year!

Congrats!  That’s a good SL given to your score.  

 

I messed up a while back and applied with a low 600 score and got a toy limit of 300. It’s like pulling teeth to get them to raise it now, no increase whatsoever.  I wish I had not even app’d for the card honestly.  But, such is life. You live and you learn.  Eventually they might come around.  It’s funny though, I got a mailer for a pre approved BBVA card 60 days later and they gave me $16K.  Go figure!

BBVA Clearpoints $16,000 | Discover $13,900 | CECU Visa $10,000 | NFCU Go Rewards Visa Sig. $18,500 | NFCU CLOC $15,000 | PayPal CB MC $10,000 | Paypal Credit $10,000 | Card $7,500 | AMX Hilton Honors Ascend $2,000 | Wayfair $23,900 | Sportsmans Guide Visa $12,400 | Kohls $3,000 | Capital One Savor One $3,500 | PNC Cash Rewards $17,000 | PenFed Power Cash Rewards $10,000 | PenFed Gold $10,000 | Lowe's $20,000 | Best Buy Visa $4,000 | Home Depot $4,000 | NFCU Platinum $25,000
