Waiting for new physical credit card

[Snowandrew]

Was told that PayPal cashback Mastercard was useable with merchants who accept PayPal while waiting for new physical card to arrive, had to cancel previous credit card account and was in need of using it faster that the mail likes to arrive.

Hi @Snowandrew,

Thank you for your post and welcome to our Community Help Forum!

I am sorry about your issue. If you're approved, in most cases, a temporary credit line will instantly be added to your account and you can start using it on PayPal right away - - even before you receive your card. You will receive your card within 7-10 business days. It is important that you activate your credit card immediately to ensure your credit line is fully available to you. In instances where your application is first placed into a pending status before it is approved, you will not be able to use your PayPal Mastercard until you receive and activate the card.

You can find more information here.

I hope this helps.
