      Common questions

      Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, PayPal Cashback Mastercard or Rho Corporate Card?
      The PayPal Cashback Mastercard has the bigger bonus, $200 cash back, worth roughly $200, versus None (~$0) on the Rho Corporate Card.
      Is the PayPal Cashback Mastercard's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Rho Corporate Card?
      The PayPal Cashback Mastercard has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Rho Corporate Card's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Rho Corporate Card's benefits to clear $0 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the PayPal Cashback Mastercard.
      Can I have both the PayPal Cashback Mastercard and Rho Corporate Card?
      Yes, since they're from different issuers (Synchrony and Rho) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
      Should I get the PayPal Cashback Mastercard or the Rho Corporate Card first?
      Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. PayPal Cashback Mastercard: $500 spend in 3 months. Rho Corporate Card: $0 in 0 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
