Purchases funded by EUR, precious metals, stocks or stablecoins (USDT, USDC, EUROCV) earn nothing (official). The card page metadata still reads "up to 2%", a leftover from the earlier BEST VIP scheme (official, checked 20 Oct 2026). |

No cashback on the UK card found. Coinbase One Card: 2%, 2.5%, 3% or 4% in Bitcoin by assets held on Coinbase, higher tiers capped at $10,000 of purchases a month; 5% on travel bookings (official, coinbase.com/creditcard). |
