Our take on Gate Card

The Gate Card lets European Gate users spend from their spot balance without a separate top-up. It's free to get and works with Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Each purchase costs 0.9% for conversion, plus 0.4% in a foreign currency. Base cashback is 1% but caps out at 5 USDT a month, so regular users earn very little. The higher tiers, up to 8% with a 400 USDT cap, are aimed at heavy traders.

Fine for Gate VIPs. For most people the 0.9% fee outweighs the rewards.
