Welcome to the boards!

If you have successfully completed the sign up process, you will earn cash back on payments that are essentially run as "credit."  You will not earn cashback on:

- transactions where you enter your PIN

- ATM withdrawals

- Over the counter signature based cash withdrawals

Hope this helps,

how do i know if my card regiestered successfully for the cash back rewards?  and do i just run it as a credit card at the retail store and also some store do ask if you want cash back but is that only if you run it as a debit card not credit . some of these answers are not real clear in the wording and also does the cash back go in to your paypal  account?

Go to Profile > PayPal Debit Card.  If you haven't signed up for cash back, there will be a link under the summary to sign up.

Yes, select credit when running the card.  If you enter your PIN number, you will not earn cash back.

Yes, the cash back deposits into your PayPal account balance on a monthly basis.
