I have another question for the group. So, just the other day I went to get my new card from Chase and felt pretty good about finally getting everything set up—only to try registering it on PayPal and hitting a complete wall. It keeps telling me the card number is incorrect. I’m not entirely sure if there needs to be some sort of minimum balance required for registration, though I don't think that should be the issue since there is already more than $100 on it.

To be honest, I ran into a similar headache with my old card once before. It wasn't with PayPal, but I got that same error message saying the card number was wrong. Then, after a couple of months had passed, I decided to give it another shot and everything worked perfectly fine without any fanfare.

Does anyone know if there is perhaps a mandatory waiting period before a new card becomes eligible for registration, or am I looking at a completely different kind of technical glitch here?

A couple of days ago, I dropped by my local Bank of America branch just to check on the status of a foreign currency account I opened several years back. To be honest, I hadn't touched it in what felt like an eternity—I only really needed to dig it up because I realized I actually needed the CVV number associated with it.

What I'm wondering is whether more recent Visa Electron cards linked to a checking account still carry the same CVV... since the one I’ve been using is quite old, too. I was hoping to see if there's any way to make better use of that specific account.
