After adding paypal debit card, in Autopay section it all says:
"Online app and in app billing details PayPal Debit Card Preferred
We’ll use your PayPal Debit Card first. Then we will use:
PayPal Mastercard Credit ••••[Removed]".
This debit card is only supposed to used for grocery, I've never set this debit card as preferred online payment, never.
But now I have multiple online transactions (home depot and Tello LLC) used this debit card, which I'm sure I selected a credit card when checkout,
it cost me losing the 5% cash back.
