Good
- No issuance or monthly fee
- Cashback paid in BTC on all merchant categories
- Spends directly from many cryptos and stablecoins, converted at the moment of payment
Watch out
- 1% conversion fee on every purchase, so the ongoing 1% cashback is used up by fees before any FX cost
- USD card adds 1% on non-USD spend and 1% on USD payments at non-US merchants
- Cashback capped at $1 per transaction and $100 a month; the 2% rate lasts only 30 days
