Pick Nexo Card if

- Higher documented cashback (2% vs 1)

- Wider documented availability
Bitrefill Card
exists - active; EEA-only Visa-Karte (Wallester AS), crypto-to-EUR at_load (1.99% + Spread), Cashback 1%+1% in EUR/Store-Credit statt BTC
Nexo Card
The most complete dual-mode card: one tap switches between spending your crypto (Debit, with daily interest) and borrowing against it (Credit, from 1.9%) - with free ATM allowances up to EUR 2,000/month and no card fees. The catch: meaningful cashback needs a $5,000+ portfolio and is denominated in NEXO, and it is EEA/UK-only.
