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). |
| Tria Card | Virtual 1.5% up to $100 spend a month then 0.5%; Signature 4.5% up to $1,000 then 1%; Premium 6% up to $2,000 then 1% (official, docs.tria.so/card-cashback-terms, last updated 1 Jun 2026). Paid in USDC or USDT to the connected wallet no later than 12 months after the period; forfeited if the account is closed; staking badges add 0.25% to 2% within the cap (official). The help centre gives Lite a $1,000 cap, which conflicts with the terms (official, help centre). |
