CoinZoom ZoomMe Card
A US-registered, SOC-2-accredited exchange card with true point-of-sale crypto conversion - pick any listed coin as your spend wallet and it converts at the tap. The exchange and token ecosystem are mid-sized; the mechanism is the appeal.
Uphold Card
Back and verifiable: the Uphold Debit Card relaunched in the US with up to 4% back in XRP (Elite, $99.99/yr) or 2% (Essential, free), Visa acceptance with Apple/Google Pay, no credit check and FDIC pass-through on the USD balance. The trade-offs: rewards are XRP-denominated with conditions (holding periods, monthly caps), the program's history is pause-and-restart, and support tickets show crediting/adjustment friction. US-only (no NY/LA/territories).
