What's the current best credit/giftcard for verifying PayPal (US stealth acct)?
Greetings one and all and thanks for all the past help.
It has been a great 8-year run with a Simon Amex giftcard with a long expiration date (that I've looked all over for but somehow lost). And now PayPal wants the card updated by the end of the month or, I presume, they'll keep me from withdrawing funds.
The PayPal account, and me, are U.S. based and it's a pretty stable stealth dating back to 2006, but neither the name nor the address match the real one (it's instead a street address version of a P.O. box, on advice from a version of the eBay Stealth that existed at the time). Nothing really complicated.
So I'm just asking which one's the best now (could do physical card from Walgreen's or VCC). Long expiration dates really a great bonus. I assume it needs to allow an address to be registered onto it so the AVS will go through. IIRC, on the last card in 2013 I bought with $30 or so on it and just let the funds sit. I don't expect to use the card except for the verification.
BTW, I think I already may have a false start by buying an Amex physical giftcard, as the service on the 800 number is terrible and the woman I talked to said they can't put an address on that particular card. Trial and error doesn't seem to be a good method with this.
