name on debit card to remove $500 limit?

[mikeangel]

hello,
i have opened some bank accounts and got debit cards for these accounts. after reading the forums and the Stealth Book i know banks cannot give info to paypal. so i was wondering, to remove my $500 withdraw limit i need to verify my bank account and my card.. i have already verified my bank account.. can i enter my never used debit card number and use the ⊗⊗⊗⊗ name to verify my card????

thanks everyone!

i dont think thats going to work because the name is one of the things verified on a credit/debit card.

its all about the numbers.. not the names.

but i thought banks were not allowed to give out names so would they still be able to verify my name???

Use the search button. They're several threads on this. The name makes no difference, with most cards, all that needs to match is the zip code.

With paypal, it needs to match the street number and zip code that the card is billed to. This is called an AVS check, it has nothing to do with the bank, but rather the credit card.

First Edition, That's not true. Some debit/credit cards that may be the case. But with my BOA debit card I used a couple month ago, the ONLY thing that matched was the zip code. No street name, no street number, nothing!

Hmmmmm.... interesting. I know different cards and merchants have different AVS rules. With a bank of america credit card you can use the shop safe feature and generate a vcc. If it only matches the zip code, you could use that to generate vcc's.
