| 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). |
| Bybit Card | EEA: 1% for non-VIP users, reported uncapped (Bybit EU on X and third parties; the official tier table did not render); VIP levels 2% to 10% with monthly caps; new users 10% in the first month, capped at €150; paid daily in USDC or BTC; full rebates on partner subscriptions from the second tier (official). Global programme: 2% to 10% by tier with monthly caps from $5 to $600 (official). |
Cashback is shown as a dated fact and never scored.
