Have you signed in to your PayPal account?

They Pull TU, if you have 699 Fico, depending on other GE accounts you have (any?) and other lines you have, you could see a substantial CL and a VERY nice CLI between 2-4 months if you keep other credit and especially this paypal credit looking good. GE is known for the first CLI being auto, then you ask every 4-6 after that, always SP.

I got $2k instant PayPal MC back at end of 2011... then added about 10 other GE cards, but no one else gave me the Visa/MC/Amex/Discover version just store, so was surprised for the paypal. Rewards not bad either if you get MasterCard and use outside of paypal

Re: GEMB/Paypal

They pulled a soft on EQ.  I haven't updated it in my siggy for EQ yet but it's higher than what it shows. Smiley Happy  I have one paid baddie on my TU that falls off in Nov. so I've just been staying in the garden.  Figured I'd do a small app spree after the first of the year.

Re: GEMB/Paypal

I got approved too at the end of 2011. It was literally a 30 second decision as they say it is! $2k with a 673 score.. got an AUTO CLI to $4,400 at three months after PIF each month, then another cli to $7,000 through the backdoor num per my request. I only got this card for util, but it turns out that it's very good.. I get random statement credits all the time for simple things, such as adding an AU user (worth $20 to them). I even got a $25 Sbux gift card the other day for redeeming 2,970 points. you get 3pts per dollar on gas/restaurants, which is mostly where I spend.

 

The lowest APR is 19.99%. The other APR is 23.99%. So either way, I'd limit any balance carrying if you get it! Mine was a HP on TU btw.
