My experience so far (using the card since January 2021)

I ordered my crypto.com card in January 2021 and it took quite some time until I received it, to be more precise I obtained it beginning of March 2021. Waiting times improved a lot in the meantime and you should receive your card within one month, depending on where you live. After testing the card with some small purchases I used my crypto.com card on a more regular basis and so far it never let me down. Below you can see my current Cashback amount after 3 weeks in use (Ruby card)

Cashback on my Ruby card (January 2021)

Personally i would recommend the Ruby Red Card to begin with. It takes minimum amount of CRO to be staked and you can start enjoying the benefits right away.

To unlock your reward point i would say, you have to apply for the Ruby red card at-least to enjoy the benefits and honestly i have no regrets of opting for this card. The cash-back rewards and the metal debit card is an eye catcher.

The Crypto.com Visa Card has added additional rewards that are designed to fit the needs of consumers who are always on the move. Building on the existing travel rewards of the Crypto.com Visa Card, which include free and unlimited LoungeKey™ Airport Lounge Access, interbank exchange rates, and no overseas fees, select cards will have:

  • Your Travel — In Style: 10% purchase rebate on each Expedia or Airbnb booking
  • Your Music: Spotify. Get 100% rebate for your standard subscription plan
  • Your Movies: Netflix. Get 100% rebate for your standard subscription plan
  • Best Spending Rewards. Ever. Up to 8% back on spending, local or overseas, no minimum or maximum spending required. Even the Midnight Blue Card now earns 1% back — a long-standing request from our community.

A few benefits of the Crypto.com debit card are listed in the table below.

IMPORTANT:

  1. Cardholders who maintain their current CRO Card Stake will continue to enjoy the benefits associated with their card but will lose their benefits if the stake is unlocked.
  2. The new Card Staking Rates will apply should the cardholder (1) upgrade their card tier or (2) unstake and restake their CRO Card Stake at a later date.
  3. Cardholders who stake CRO for a card based on the new fiat-based rates will receive the exact amount of CRO back when they unstake. For example:

a. A user stakes 2500 CRO for a Ruby Card, when 1 CRO = USD $0.164316 ($400/$0.164316)
b. When that user unstakes, 2500 CRO will be returned to them, regardless of whether the price of CRO is higher or lower at the time of unstaking.
