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
| Base | Premium | Elite | Private | Bespoke | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cashback rate | 0.50% | 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.
