After playing tag through the terrible messaging system and having multiple inquiries closed due to me not getting the notifications in time, I finally called them and the only answer I got was "we can't offer you the Paypal cash card at this time" "wait 30 days and hopefully your account will have enough activity to be updated by then and you can reapply." I'm thinking it has something to do with my account being 1. Less than a year old. 2. I closed a previous Paypal account using the same email address and phone number as the one I have now that was a solid 6 years old. I had the cash card with that account but needed to close it for personal reasons. I think that may have thrown some red flags up for paypal somehow and I'm hoping That if I wait for my account to reach about 6 months old with plenty of legitimate transactions and deposits and such that I should be able to get the cash card then. I just find it so very strange that it's so hard to find out any information about this issue that so many people are having. None of the customer service people really give you any sort of legitimate information about why it is that you can't apply for the cash card. It's almost as if they don't know either why you can't have one it just says that you can't. But I'll update again when I do try to apply for another Cash Card I'm going to wait about another month I believe just to be on the safe side and give it plenty of time.
