Cashback, as of 20 Oct 2026
| Karta | The homepage meta text claims "25% cashback on purchases", but the page body only describes earning from referred friends' spending and no rate on the cardholder's own purchases is published; the fees articles do not mention cashback (official, karta.io and help centre, checked 20 Oct 2026). |
| Bitrefill Card | 1% on every crypto deposit and 1% on every purchase, "no cap", paid in EUR as Bitrefill store credit the same day the payment settles, no expiry (official, card page and card FAQ, checked 20 Oct 2026).
