Solid's former points and FUSE tier routes have been replaced

This August Rewards update described points and maintained FUSE as tier routes. Solid's September terms supersede both: points no longer unlock tiers, and new FUSE access requires a 12-month lock.

What to know

  • Correction, September 30: Solid's current terms explicitly say points do not determine tier.
  • Prime now requires a $199 annual subscription or a 12-month FUSE lock; Ultra requires a 12-month FUSE lock.
  • The required amounts for new locks increase on October 8, 2026. FUSE remains a volatile token rather than cash.
  • Check current app terms for Savings Yield Boost availability; the earlier preview is not a guaranteed return.

The August route has changed

At publication in August, Solid described points and maintained FUSE as ways to qualify for Prime or Ultra. Its updated September Rewards terms have replaced that model.

Points still accrue but no longer determine tier. FUSE now has a fixed 12-month lock for tier access; the former maintained-balance route no longer applies.

AI cashback and lower fees

Prime currently lists 25% and Ultra 50% cashback on eligible AI, streaming and music subscriptions, sharing each tier's monthly cashback cap.

Solid's own non-USD FX markup falls by tier, but a separate 1% Rain or Wirex card-provider fee applies even at Ultra.

Yield Boost remains a preview

The August announcement previewed Yield Boost for Savings. This historical preview should not be read as a guaranteed current return.

The current card profile uses Solid's revised tier terms and keeps variable Savings returns separate from card cashback.
