I had only had credit cards linked to PayPal before, never a checking account. There is no option to transfer the balance to a credit card. When I tried adding a checking account it insisted I provide a mobile number, which I did, and it refused to accept, telling me to just "try a different number," lol. This is an actual cell phone number from a US carrier (Mint Mobile).
Yes, in retrospect I should have sent the money to a friend and asked for a Zelle payment in return.
