The short verdict: Bitpanda Card leads overall (11 to 10). Custodial; crypto segregated under MiCA, 0% from Bitpanda; Visa rate applies FX. Health: Watch. Check each profile for what still needs confirming before deciding.
| Bitpanda Card | "All users receive a flat 1% cashback on eligible purchases paid with cryptocurrencies", paid in the same crypto (official, help centre FAQ, checked 20 Oct 2026). 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). |
| Venmo Credit Card | 3% on dining and entertainment, including streaming; an extra 1% when the purchase is split with a friend on Venmo within 30 days; 3% when checking out with Venmo online or paying a business or a person for goods and services on Venmo; 1% on everything else (official, venmo.com/about/creditcard/rewards, checked 20 Oct 2026). No caps stated. Cards approved after 24 Sep 2026 pay cash back daily; earlier cards pay 1 to 3 days after the statement end (official, help centre FAQ). Cash Back to Crypto buys the chosen asset automatically, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash named on the card page and Solana and Chainlink listed in the crypto FAQ (official). |
