For more information on Cardholder CRO Staking Rewards, refer to the Cardholder CRO Staking rewards section below.

For more information on CRO Lockup rewards, refer to the CRO Lockup rewards section below.

Refer here for more details on Cardholder CRO Staking eligibility.

Whenever you stake or lock up the required CRO for a higher card tier, you can enjoy various Cardholder CRO Staking or CRO Lockup benefits, such as additional spending rewards, purchase rebates, and higher rates in Crypto Earn, depending on the card tier that you have staked or locked up for.

IMPORTANT:

  • If you are eligible for Cardholder CRO Staking and have an active CRO Lockup, you must accept the Cardholder CRO Staking Terms & Conditions in the Crypto.com App ‘Card’ page to continue earning CRO rewards from 15 January 2024, 03:00 UTC, or when your 180-day Lockup period is complete, whichever is later. If you do not accept the Cardholder CRO Staking Terms & Conditions by 15 January 2024, 03:00 UTC, you will stop earning CRO Lockup Rewards thereafter. However, you will continue to enjoy your card benefits based on your CRO Lockup tier.

  • If you are eligible for Cardholder CRO Staking and you do not have an active CRO Lockup and wish to enter into a new Cardholder CRO Stake on or after 15 January 2024, 03:00 UTC, you will be required to accept the Cardholder CRO Staking Terms & Conditions during the CRO purchase and staking process in the Crypto.com App.

  • If you are eligible for Cardholder CRO Staking and you have an active CRO Lockup, and you opt to upgrade your card on or after 15 January 2024, 03:00 UTC, regardless of whether your current CRO Lockup holding period is ongoing or otherwise, you will be prompted to accept the Cardholder CRO Staking Terms & Conditions during the card upgrade process. Your current CRO Lockup will be replaced with Cardholder CRO Staking and will be subjected to another 180-day holding period.

  • Cardholders will lose their CRO Staking Rewards or Card Lockup Rewards (as applicable) and card benefits if the Cardholder CRO Stake is unstaked or if the CRO Lockup is unlocked.

  • Cardholders will receive the exact quantity of CRO back when they unstake after the unbonding period, or immediately after they unlock.

    For example:

  1. Cardholder CRO Staking: A user stakes 5,000 CRO for a Ruby Steel card, when 1 CRO = US$0.08 ($400/$0.08). When that user unstakes, 5,000 CRO will be returned to them after the unbonding period, regardless of whether the price of CRO is higher or lower at the time of unstaking.

  2. CRO Lockup: A user locks up 5,000 CRO for a Ruby Steel card, when 1 CRO = US$0.08 ($400/$0.08). When that user unlocks, 5,000 CRO will be returned to them immediately, regardless of whether the price of CRO is higher or lower at the time of unlocking.

Purchase Rebates - Details

The CRO equivalent of the transaction amount in USD will be deposited into your CRO Wallet, which will be reflected instantly with each eligible transaction.
