Overview
The Bybit Card is a custodial Mastercard debit card tied to your Bybit exchange Funding Account. It spends fiat first at checkout and, if your fiat balance runs short, automatically liquidates a crypto asset you set as the payment priority using Bybit's One Click Sell rate plus a 0.9% conversion fee. A standout feature is Auto-Earn integration: idle USDT/USDC can keep earning yield (reportedly up to ~8% APR) right until the moment you swipe, so your spending balance stays productive.
Rewards run up to 10% but are heavily tiered β the realistic rate for most users is 2% on the base tier with a low monthly cap, and the 10% headline requires top VIP status. Cashback is issued as Bybit Card Points that convert to USDT (some sources say points, some say USDT directly β effectively USDT-redeemable, i.e. stable, not a volatile token). The card runs as separate regional programs with different fees and limits, and issuers vary by region (e.g. Moorwand Ltd and Harmoniie SAS for EEA/Switzerland). There is no US or Canada availability.

Rating breakdown
How the Bybit Card scores across the categories we weigh into its overall 8.0/10.
Cashback & rewards
Bybit Card cashback is tiered from 2% (base/Tier 1) up to 10% (top Supreme VIP tier), determined by Bybit VIP level or monthly spend thresholds. The catch is the monthly caps: the base tier caps rewards very low (around $5β10/month), so spending $500 nets ~2% but $1,000 effectively halves to ~1%. Rewards are paid as Bybit Card Points redeemable for USDT (roughly 1,000 points β 2 USDT), so the reward asset is USD-stable rather than a volatile token. A 0.9% crypto conversion fee applies when spending from crypto (not pre-converted fiat), so net returns are the headline rate minus ~0.9%. From Tier 2, users also get up to 100% rebates on subscriptions like Netflix, Spotify and ChatGPT, plus a +1% bonus on Pay Later installments. Cashback excludes crypto purchases, fees and transfers.
| Tier | Requirement | Cashback | Monthly cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 / Base | No VIP; base spend | 2% | ~$5β10/month |
| Tier 2 | VIP 1 or spend threshold | 3β4% + subscription rebates | ~$50/month |
| Tier 3β5 | Higher VIP / spend | 4β8% | Higher caps by tier |
| Tier 6 / Supreme (Infinite) | Top VIP | 10% | Highest cap |

Pros & cons
Pros
- Up to 10% tiered cashback (2% base), redeemable in USDT β a stable reward asset
- No annual or monthly fee; virtual card is free
- Auto-Earn lets idle USDT/USDC earn yield while staying spendable
- Fiat-first spend logic can avoid the 0.9% crypto conversion fee
- Up to 100% rebates on subscriptions (Netflix, Spotify, ChatGPT) from Tier 2
- Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay supported; global Mastercard acceptance
- Strong card controls (instant freeze, limits, toggles)
Cons
- Custodial: funds sit in your Bybit account, not self-custody
- Top cashback tiers require high VIP status or heavy spend; base cap is very low
- 0.9% crypto conversion fee unless you pre-convert to fiat
- FX fees vary sharply by region (0.5% EEA, up to ~7% in Argentina)
- Not available in the US or Canada; EEA availability is in flux (see note)
- Spending non-stablecoin crypto is a taxable disposal in many countries
- Bybit suffered a $1.4B hack in Feb 2025 (users were reimbursed), custodial risk is real
Is It Worth It?
Best for active Bybit traders in supported regions who already hold crypto on the exchange and can reach VIP tiers for meaningful cashback. Strong for users who value earning yield on idle balances while keeping them spendable, and who spend on rebate-eligible subscriptions. A weaker fit for anyone wanting self-custody, US/Canada residents, or heavy non-USD spenders where regional FX fees erode rewards.
