Bybit Card
The most aggressive rewards among exchange cards: 2-10% USDT cashback tiers, auto-interest on the card balance and 100% rebates on popular subscriptions - but it requires full exchange KYC and is explicitly unavailable in the EEA, and the platform carries the memory of the 2025 mega-hack it survived.
Krak Card (Kraken)
Kraken's consumer debit card: hold BTC (and 600+ other assets) in the Krak account and spend via an editable Spend Order that auto-converts at authorization on the Mastercard rate - no markup, no monthly fee, free plastic, metal for 50k balances, instant tiered cashback up to 2% in fiat or sats. Costs hide in the variable conversion spread, the default Rewards tier earns nothing, and spend/ATM limits are not published.
