Plus, the travel perks are surprisingly strong.What we cover:How PayPal+ points work vs real cashbackOnline vs offline spend differencesWhy PayPal balance mattersGold/Black tiers and realistic earning potentialRetailer boosts and subscription perksTravel benefits (FX fees, Mastercard rate, ATMs)Whether the card is worth using at allJoin the new Banking Without Borders Discord community https://link.bankingwithoutborders.co.uk/discordSubscribe on YouTubehttps://link.technicallymoney.com/oy8eCheck out our website DepositScout.com for the latest savings rates.
