Pros and cons, side by side

Gnosis Pay Card (Gnosis Card)

What works

  • Fully self-custodial, spending directly from a user-controlled Safe wallet rather than a custodial balance
  • 0% fees across card transactions, FX markup, and blockchain gas costs
  • Cashback tiers require only holding GNO, not staking or locking it
  • No card, monthly, or annual fee

What to watch

  • The United Kingdom is explicitly excluded despite Gnosis Pay being a UK-registered company
  • Not yet available in the United States, Canada, Australia, or most of Asia and Africa
  • Each cashback tier caps weekly eligible spend, so heavy spenders earn nothing above the cap
  • The current cashback programme is explicitly time-limited through September 30, 2026 with no confirmed successor terms

KuCoin Card (KuCard)

What works

  • Cashback can reach as high as 8.5% for large KCS holders combining VIP status and Loyalty Level bonuses
  • No staking lockup is described for the New Zealand program's base VIP-tier cashback, unlike some competitors' 12-month lockups
  • Multiple tiers are reachable purely through exchange trading volume (VIP status) rather than requiring a card-specific deposit
  • Cashback is paid in USDC or KCS, so the payout can be a dollar stablecoin rather than the exchange's own token

What to watch

  • KuCoin operates what appear to be two distinct, non-overlapping card programs under the same brand name, creating real risk of publishing the wrong country's terms as universal
  • Even at the highest combined cashback percentage, redemption is capped at 250 USDC per month, limiting the real-dollar value for high spenders
  • The separately reported EEA program's fees are not corroborated on any page KuCoin itself hosts, and should be treated as unverified
  • Entry-tier cashback for typical users without meaningful KCS holdings or trading volume is as low as 1%, capped at just 10 USDC per month
