Main strengths
Main trade-offs
01 · Core economics
ether.fi Cash Card has a $0 recurring entry cost. Funding, conversion, FX and cash-access charges are shown separately below.
02 · Plans & rewards
ether.fi Cash Card keeps the reward range visible above while the membership cards below preserve each tier's fee, card design, rewards, limits and other tier-specific differences.
Starting rate on the first Core/Luxe/Pinnacle band, not the minimum rate on all eligible spend. Later USD bands pay 1%, then 0.5%; EUR bands pay 1%, then 0.1%.
Conditional: not the automatic rate
Calculated in USD at authorization and converted at the ETHFI price when the purchase clears. Manual claim after a 7-day hold once unlocked cashback reaches $5; token price can change its USD value.
Standard and EUR thresholds share one monthly counter. Later rates are 1%, then 0.5% for USD or 0.1% for EUR; VIP later rates are unconfirmed.
1,000 Membership points per $1,000 of eligible Cash spend. These points help qualify for membership levels and are separate from card cashback.
03 · Everyday use
See the available card formats, phone wallets and account rails, plus any channels that are still being confirmed.
04 · Money in and out
The card uses the provider account balance. Account funding and withdrawal routes are included only when they feed that same card-linked account; they are not presented as direct card top-ups.

From September 15, eligible Cash Card spend earns 1,000 Membership points per $1,000. ether.fi applied the rate to earlier September spend, so some displayed monthly point totals fell.
Luxe, Pinnacle and VIP can choose one eligible subscription category for an additional 10%, 20% or 30% back, capped at $10, $20 or $30 a month. The bonus covers named services, not every purchase in a broad category.
Eligible users can send native BTC to ether.fi, borrow against it and use the resulting liquidity for card spending or transfers without selling the BTC position.
