Paypal's New Student Accounts

[philly387]

PayPal on Tuesday is introducing a new service for parents with kids who are in high school or college. Called Student Accounts, it centers on the use of a special PayPal-branded Mastercard debit card that's tied to a parent's PayPal accounts. The parent acts as the provider and can funnel money in whenever they feel like it at predetermined dates, or--at what will most-frequently happen--the behest of their kids......

Dear sweet paypal.

Just trying to think of a way this could benefit us...

[GreenBean]

You need to think?

[OfficialGenius]

Interesting...Can't wait to get more into this

Dude! 'Think' is a four-letter word...

Use the force, Luke.

I have 10 kids that are all in college and are spoiled brats.

Is that all? Maybe you're still in your teens, I suppose...

I've got 190 kids with 47 different wives. Some of the kids are AARP members.

All brats, the lot: their dorm

Im quite young and new to the children scene haha

That's no excuse really. Well, ok not really. But still. Get drunk, be dumb, make babies. Tell 'em you know me.

A fermented cabbage dish from Korea. Kimchi is put in an earthern wear pot & let for years to mature....after you eat it you could fuel a rocket going to the moon

I guess to make transactions on the student account believable, you could have 1 for every 5 transaction be porn related... this will make it look immensely real!

[philly387]

haha...very nice Tiger. You have been here for like a year and have only 5 posts?

Either I would say purchasing books might be a little more believable...or beer!

I knew all of my curtain climbers would come in handy one day! lol

[TigerLord]

Yes I've been lurking around here for a loooong time, reading, trying, learning...

I hate to look like a noob on forums, I wait until I can at least look like a regular person before posting

Well, you said 'porn' so that's gotta count for something.

Throw in the beer, some overpriced MP3s, gas for a nearly pointless road trip (to get the porn maybe), and kimchi.

The idea of it seems too simple... Paypal has got to want something before they give out those cards ......

[getaroundebay]

Very similar to the PayPal top up cards we have in the UK.

Not so good, when a student needs some money, and the PayPal account gets limited!
