It used to be allowed to use the paypal debit card or paypal credit card as long as you were using a physical card and not the virtual plug in. I did all of my offers this way because it made it easier to keep track of what I spent on offers and only used my profit from freebie trading to do offers.
Then all of a sudden we were told by certain individuals in the forum community that we are not allowed to use them anymore because the merchants couldn't tell if we were using a real card or the plug in because supposedly it would only show up as Paypal. That always seemed odd to me because in my retail experience the credit card company never showed up it was always Visa, MC, Amex etc. Payment systems don't care whether the card is a bank sponsored one like Chase Mastercard or whether it is a store based one like Sears Visa card, but who are we to question the powers that be right? Especially when they threaten to ban us for using said cards.
I asked a couple of site owners during the hoopla and they said some affiliates were meh about it but at that time most didn't care as long as it was a physical card.
I would actually like to here some input on this from some site owners or some affiliates since I know there are a couple of affiliates that peruse the forum.
