Paypal access card - anyone getting one?

Received an email about a new paypal debit card - giving instant access to paypal funds.
Any thoughts?

I read that there is a £2 charge to use an ATM so I probably would not need that - it sounds quite good, and right now I am without a card due to fraud on account last week so a back-up would be good!

I often pay the £5 to withdraw into my bank the next working day, so would work out £3 cheaper for me to use ATM to do it..everytime I have tried its been refused though so not sure where I have gone wrong.
Last week I was skint and ran out of bread and milk..so used the paypal card to go sainsburys and get some bits, its so handy as I often have more in my paypal than I do in the bank lol..its worth having even if you use as a backup only!

I've had one for a few weeks and it's great.

I only use it for online or in-store purchases and don't ever withdraw cash but it's linked to my business account so I only use it for business purchases which I find easier than waiting 3-5 days for Paypal to transfer the cash into my bank to cover the cost that I spent out of my own money.

The only one place I won't use it is at my local cash 'n' carry as it's a Mastercard they charge a 2% transaction fee (I'm just a tighty!)

I'd agree, although have used an ATM without a problem, did have one occasion when it was rejected for no apparent reason (having used for a similar transaction in the same place a minute before).
I'd probably sum it up as very handy but as with Paypal don't fully rely on it.

Makes an excellent ice scraper.

Yes I have one too!
Very convenient, used mine four times already and only had it three days!

I want one and yet I can't seem to have one. Anyone got any ideas how I can get one?

Ta!

I've just applied, they say it should be here by the 22nd. I didn't get an email though, it was on the page after I signed in. Normally I don't even bother looking at the ads and I'd already clicked on 'my account' but I just managed to click on the button for more info before the page changed!
