    Hi,

    I have used a Curve pre paid debit for a while.  I fund it form my CRO card, which I get the equivalent of 3% cashback on spend in the form of Crypto.   The Curve card gives 1% cashback too, but only for 30 days.   I am passed that period now and the card is obviously less attractive without the cashback.

    So, I am looking to see if there are alternatives that give cashback, even for a limited period, and what people think of their services, reliability, apps etc and would they recommend.  

    Thanks

    One thing you haven’t mentioned is how much you’re willing to pay for these extra features. 

    I’d recommend Curve Black or Metal, where you can continue to earn cashback for a fee. However you’ll have to spend enough to make it worthwhile. 
    True - I didn't say ....the answer is nothing.  I was hoping there was something similar to Curve for 12 months I could swap to.  Seems not at the moment.

    Fair play - if you have the 3% Crypto.com cashback card then you've probably fronted up £1.5k - £3k for that. There aren't any other physical cards on the market in the UK that offer the wallet functionality Curve does, let alone free cashback on top. If you are willing to pay, then Curve has the paid tiers which allow for continued earnings.

    Keep an eye out for Lanistar. Never know, when they launch they may offer temporary incentives to attract customers, like Curve has. Even if they don't, there are several on-card cashback schemes you can join that will pay out for shopping at a selected range of retailers.
