How cashback works

Modified on Tue, 23 Jun at 2:53 PM

Every eligible card transaction earns cashback in USD — not in crypto, not in tokens. Cashback accrues automatically with no action required on your part.

Cashback rates by tier

Cashback rate0.50%1.00%3.00%5.00%8.00%

The rate applied to a transaction is determined by the tier you hold at the time of the transaction. If your tier changes after a transaction has settled, cashback already credited is not adjusted.

Cashback is credited to your Rewards balance once a transaction has fully settled. Settlement may take a short period after a transaction completes.

Which transactions earn cashback

Cashback is earned on eligible card purchases. Not all transactions qualify — the sections below set out what is excluded.

Transactions not eligible for cashback

The following transaction types do not earn cashback:

  • ATM withdrawals. Cash withdrawals made with your Wirex One card at ATMs or over the counter at financial institutions are not eligible.
  • Cash advances. Cash advance transactions at banks or other financial institutions are not eligible.
  • Crypto purchases. Transactions used to purchase cryptocurrency via your Wirex One card are not eligible.
  • Gambling transactions. Any transaction made at a gambling establishment — including casinos and online gambling platforms — is not eligible.
  • Refunded or cancelled transactions. If a transaction is refunded, cancelled, or returned, any cashback associated with it will not be credited or will be reversed.
