Hi there Sophie, thanks for your reply!   I saw it on the main account page (https://www.paypal.com/myaccount/home) on the left under the Bank Accounts and Cards heading. When I click the link it brings me straight to the add-a-card page to enter my details. But I'm curious because there doesn't seem to be any information on what it does or about any rewards!   Many thanks~   Muffin ... View more

Changing account name to initials

Hi there everyone,   I just have a quick question about name changes. I'm looking to change my account's first name to my initial, for privacy and personal identity reasons, so that anyone I deal with via PayPal does not see my first name.   For example if my name was Rebecca Smith - I would like to change it to R. Smith.   I've dealt with people on here whose contact names have been initials so I thought it would be worth asking about.   Is this at all possible or would I have to make a completely new account? I'm a bit reluctant to do that as I've had this account for what must be ten years or so.   Many thanks. 🙂   Muffin ... View more

Hi there everyone, I do hope I've posted in the right forum...   I was just curious about what kinds of rewards are referenced by the below statement.   Keep earning card rewards when you link a card and use it with PayPal. I already have a bank account linked but I'm guessing this is different somehow. Could anyone tell me in what way?   I have a HSBC debit card I could link, but I can't see anywhere where it says about potential benefits from doing so.   Any info would be greatly appreciated. 🙂   Thanks!   Muffin ...
