I tried using the PayPal hack with AmEx and they rugged me by overriding my Fold card preference and forced the payment to go through my bank account.
Discussion
Oh... damnit. :/
So in conclusion, fuck PayPal.
Yeah, I haven’t had any issues with using my linked fold card through PayPal. I wonder why they would use your bank account over the preferred payment method.
I think it might be an AmEx policy but they didn’t inform me about it until after they debited the wrong account.
Yep but I think fold/paypal fixed this right?
Did they? I still don’t trust PayPal or AmEx.
Yeah, they did fix the issue. I remember there was a timeframe where the fold card couldn’t be linked, but it does work now. I have an AMEX that I pay off every month with the PayPal bill pay.
I got blindsided just like you and deleted PayPal but I tested this again with a friend’s PayPal and it worked! Haven’t tried with Amex yet
Fold is trash now. Not worth the time anymore
I thought this too but the draw of free sats for just Paying bills you have to pay anyways is too strong.
Definitely not pulling in a ton of sats but at least I’m getting some in return for dollars I’m spending on bills.
Yeah the old fold you could rake it in. Spin and get 2% or 3% back it was a passive stackers paradise. Now it’s super watered down
