    1. Cash back. The PayPal Preferred Rewards program provides 1% cash back on the net amount of your eligible monthly purchases. Net amount means all eligible purchases minus reversals for any reason including returns and refunds. It may take up to 48 hours after enrollment for you to begin accruing cash back

    2. Eligibility

      1. Eligible purchases. To be eligible for cash back, the Debit Card purchase must be an online or signature-based that does not require a PIN (personal identification number). Some merchant locations offer you the option of choosing “Credit” or “ATM/Debit” when making a payment. To qualify for cash back, you must choose “Credit”.

      2. Your PayPal Debit Card must be in good standing at the time you make an eligible purchase and when PayPal makes the cash back payment.

      3. If you sell on other websites, you must enroll in the PayPal Preferred Program and turn on the “Tell Buyers that I prefer PayPal payments” preference.

  6. Spending Limits. For your protection, your Debit Card is subject to the following limits:

    1. $400.00 daily limit for ATM withdrawals and other cash like withdrawals (cash advances and money transfers), and

    2. $3,000.00 daily limit for purchases, and a $1,000 daily limit for purchases where you use your bank account as the funding source, and

    3. Daily limit of 30 transactions, and

    4. Monthly usage limit of $50,000.

  7. Preauthorization Holds. When you use your Debit Card to purchase goods or services or to obtain cash from a merchant, the merchant may attempt to obtain preauthorization from us for the transaction. If the merchant makes such a request, we will place a 4 Day hold on your Account for the amount of the preauthorization request (which may vary in some cases from the amount of the actual purchase, depending on the merchant). This hold may affect the availability of funds from your Account to pay for transactions. We will not be responsible if any transactions are not completed because of the hold. If the preauthorization request varies from the amount of the actual transaction, and in the event that we cannot charge your Backup Funding Source, we will debit the entire transaction amount from your Balance, even if this results in your Balance becoming negative.

  8. Personal Identification Number/Your Electronic Signature. Your PIN is a security code, which has been designed to protect your transaction account against unauthorized use. The PIN provides enhanced security for your Account and must be used when making transactions to your Account. It is your electronic signature. Since the PIN is for security purposes, you should memorize it and it should not be disclosed to anyone. You can change your PIN at any time, and a temporary hold can be placed on your Account if the PIN has been compromised or if your Debit Card is lost or stolen. Maintaining the security of your PIN and Debit Card is your responsibility.

  9. Ownership Changes. If you authorize a name change on your Account (limited to a change due to either a divorce, marriage or birth certificate change), it will be your responsibility to destroy your old Debit Card, as well as obtaining a new PIN, or you may be liable for any losses which may occur.

  10. Requesting a second Debit Cards attached to Account. Current Debit Card holders who continue to meet the original Debit Card eligibility requirements may request a second Debit Card (i.e., for a spouse). The primary cardholder warrants and agrees that he or she will be liable for all charges incurred by the secondary cardholder to the same extent and as if they were charges made by the primary cardholder.
