The exchange isn't the first crypto firm to go this route. “As consumers are less incentivized to use credit cards that offer hotel points or airline miles, which have utility due to the impacts of COVID-19, or even cash-back rewards, which lose value through inflation,” he told Decrypt, “the Gemini Credit Card offers people the opportunity to earn bitcoin on purchases, which is one of the best-performing asset classes in recent years.” However, he did say, “The Gemini Credit Card will run on a major payment network and will be accepted anywhere major credit cards are accepted-both domestically and abroad.”Īs for why Gemini chose to push into the rewards space, Perlman indicated it’s a lot about how the coronavirus pandemic has altered that market. Perlman also declined to give specifics on potential connections to a credit card network such as Visa or Mastercard. Gemini Chief Operating Officer Noah Perlman told Decrypt the company would share details about the mechanics of how rewards are earned “as we get closer to launch.” Those who are on Blockrize's waitlist, along with those who join Gemini's waitlist, will be the first to have access to the new card.Īccording to a press release, the card will give “up to 3 percent back” on every purchase. The company has purchased startup Blockrize, which was already working on a crypto rewards card, in order to bring a branded product to market faster.
The Gemini Credit Card uses regular old dollars-but provides rewards in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies at a time when airline and hotel points have lost some of their utility. Today, Gemini announced the creation of its own credit card, due to be available to its US customers later this year. Gemini is a cryptocurrency exchange, crypto custodian, and.credit card issuer?
How is my physical card different from my virtual card? In order to keep your card safe and secure, we may require additional verification for you to access your virtual card. To access your card details, log into your account and click on "Card details" to get your card account number, expiration date and security code. You can add this card to Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay or you can also use it for online purchases. Once verified, we will issue a digital version of your credit card. If you never use your digital card and never activate your physical card, Gemini will close your card, in accordance with, the cardholder agreement. Since your physical card is not activated, you will not be able to use your physical card to make purchases. If you don't activate your card, you can still make purchases with your digital card by using a Google Pay or Apple Pay digital wallet or using the card info provided in the Gemini app. What happens if I don't activate my physical Gemini Credit Card? Note: to prevent unauthorized use, you should not activate your physical credit card until you receive it in the mail. You can not activate the card over the phone. You are not required to set up a PIN to activate your card and it is optional. The physical credit card can only be activated by logging into your account, navigating to card settings, and selecting "activate your card and set cash advance PIN".
