You needed a credit score of at least 700 to get the PayPal Extras Mastercard. This means at least good credit was required for approval. However, the PayPal Extras Mastercard is no longer available to new applicants.
If you’re looking for a similar card, you should consider getting the PayPal Cashback Mastercard®, instead. This card offers 3% cash back on PayPal purchases and 1.5% back on all other purchases.
The PayPal Cashback Mastercard® requires at least fair credit (a credit score of 640+) for approval. If you’d like to know where you stand, you cancheck your credit score for free, right here on WalletHub.

I got a PayPal mastercard with only a little over 600 credit score. They only gave me $600. But the regular PayPal credit gave me $1800.
