Pick Moon if
- Lighter KYC (Basic KYC vs Full KYC)
- Lightning funding that actually loads the card
Gate Card
The least documented program in this comparison: an exchange card whose issuer is not named anywhere on the product page, with no published fee schedule for issuance, monthly, top-up, FX or ATM, cashback paid as points redeemable for USDT/GT rather than as cash, and an availability statement ("non-restricted countries or regions") without a published list. Instant Spend Mode can pay directly from a BTC balance and the 8% points headline is large - but until the issuer, the fee table and the conversion timing are published, every number on the page is an advertisement, not a fact.
Moon
Watch - do not load funds. The Lightning-funded virtual card worked until late November 2025, then cards were blocked en masse and withdrawals stalled (documented cases). Support has gone silent while the site still markets the product.
