PayPal Cashback Mastercard is a PayPal credit card, partnered with MasterCard, that works anywhere MasterCard is accepted, online, in-store, or for purchases on PayPal.
Furthermore, it offers you the ability to earn 2% “Cash Rewards” on all purchases that can then transfer into your PayPal balance, bank account, or debit card.
Additionally, the card offers you the safety features of PayPal, such as “Identity Theft Protection”, and the benefits of Mastercard.
An additional piece of information to note- you can only have one PayPal MasterCard option, either PayPal Cashback Mastercard, or PayPal Extras Mastercard.

PayPal Extras Mastercard is also a PayPal credit card, partnered with MasterCard, that works anywhere MasterCard works, which includes online, in-store, or PayPal purchases.
Moreover, the difference between the two is that PayPal Extras offers you the ability to earn “Rewards Points” on all purchases, not just “Cash Rewards.”
Furthermore, with PayPal Extras, you can redeem your rewards points into gift cards, merchandise, travel vouchers, or cashback.
Additionally, the cashback can also be transferred into your PayPal balance, bank account, or debit card, just like PayPal Cashback.
Additionally, as stated above, you can only have one PayPal MasterCard option, either PayPal Cashback Mastercard, or PayPal Extras Mastercard.
Why Is My MasterCard Not Working on PayPal?
Unfortunately, if your credit card is not working with your PayPal account, there are a couple of possible reasons, such as the following:
- Your address or name on your card doesn’t match your address or name on your PayPal account
- You haven’t confirmed your card
- Your card is linked to more than one PayPal account
- You have reached your card limit, or
- Your card issuer, MasterCard in this case, has declined the charge
Furthermore, to solve this issue, first, you should check your address and name on your card and your PayPal account to make sure they match.
If they do not match, you need to correct that either in your PayPal account or by calling MasterCard.
Next, you should check to make sure you properly and fully link your credit card. This means to make sure you confirm your card and all the information is correct.
Additionally, if you have more than one PayPal account, make sure your card is not linked to another account.
Moreover, you should call your credit card company, MasterCard, and make sure you have not reached your card limit, and that they didn’t decline the charge for any reason.
Finally, if you have checked all the other issues, and your card still isn’t working, try using another payment method.
How Can I Withdraw Money from my MasterCard?

Furthermore, to withdraw from an ATM using MasterCard:
