If your application is approved, in most cases a temporary credit line will be provided and you can start using your PayPal Cashback Mastercard on PayPal right away, even before you receive your card in the mail. In instances where your application is placed into a pending status before it is approved, you won't be able to use your new card until you receive and activate the card.

You'll receive your physical card within 7-10 business days from approval. Once you receive your card, it's important that you activate your credit card immediately to ensure your credit line is fully available to you.
