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). |
| TP Card | None on spending. Referral commissions on invitees' top-up fees, paid in USDC with a 10 USDC minimum withdrawal, plus points (1,000 to the inviter and 5,000 to the invitee per valid referral, 1 point per 1 USDC topped up, expiring after 180 days); a valid referral needs KYC and a 100 USDC top-up within 30 days (official, Commission Rewards page, checked 20 Oct 2026). |
