The (secret) opt-out URL is: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypal.com&#x2F;nothanks" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypal.com&#x2F;nothanks</a><p>Don&#x27;t you just love it when businesses trying to push something you don&#x27;t need and never asked for make you choose &quot;No, thanks&quot; for their pestering to stop. How about simply: &quot;No!&quot; (possibly with an exclamation mark)<p>In PayPal&#x27;s case, a firm &quot;no&quot; without a &quot;thanks&quot; just redirects to their Norwegian website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypal.com&#x2F;no" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypal.com&#x2F;no</a><p>So to opt-out you still have to thank them. Maybe I shouldn&#x27;t give them any ideas but they could even spin it as &quot;millions of PayPal customers express their gratitude for debit card offer.&quot;
