PayPal My Cash, Easier Than A Money Transfer

If you travel long enough, you will surely find yourself in a position where you need cash and you need cash quickly. Whether you’ve lost your wallet, gotten mugged, had your hotel broken into or simply went over budget, PayPal and your friends and family are there to help.

If you have a PayPal account, you should really have a PayPal debit card that can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted. It’s fantastic for international travel as PayPal charges no foreign transaction fees and even refunds ATM fees quarterly. It’s completely free of charge and you can receive two cards with separate numbers doubling your $400 cash withdraw limit to $800 while adding extra security if you were to lose one.

Now, back to your stolen or lost wallet. Simply get a hold of someone to borrow money from; once they’ve agreed to help you out, they simply need to go to any CVS Pharmacy, 7-11, Family Dollar store or a number of other retailers that can be found on PayPal’s website.

With the other gift cards is the PayPal My Cash card, loaded at the register with a minimum of $20 and a maximum of $500. Need more? Have them buy two cards — they only cost $3.95, considerably cheaper than Western Union or MoneyGram.

Once that is done, they need only scratch the back of the card and give you the 10-digit number now revealed.

Once that’s done, log into PayPal, enter the code and you have money instantly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
