It is a dip, so I upgraded from Jade to Royal Indigo (3% cashback + netflix + spotify)

You not mean ruby to royal indigo? The jade and royal indigo are the same tier.

I got free spotify for life with my car. I pay €3 per month for the medium Netflix package (Turkey route) and 3% cashback in coins rapidly losing most if not all of their value?

I've spent EUR100 and that got me EUR0.60 in cash back - zero point six percent - and going down by the hour

Beautiful card though, a truly glorious colour of blue. It will go into my drawer on top of my N26 card soon. At least I got a "real" free EUR10 when applying for that one back in the day

There is also 10% interest on the staked amount. I think it is better than nothing.
is there any major benefit with the irish cards?

So now they've increased the CRO stake amount effective 2nd November. They can't be expecting the price to go up anytime soon.

Finally something that works out for me, I have 10k staked for jade/royal indigo and will keep that when it goes up to 25k stake requirement

You have to wonder if it wasn’t the plan all along (pump-up the CRO price before the MCO->CRO swap programme, make the swap when CRO is high and MCO is low, make an announcement to crash the CRO price, and then increase the card staking requirements).

My part is done, KYC and deposit completed so I think it should trigger your referral payment in 30days.

I am also on the same boat.
Got an e-mail that states:
*********************************
- The new staking requirements will apply should the cardholder (1) upgrade their card tier or (2) unstake and restake their CRO Card Stake after 2 November 2020 07:00:00 UTC.
*********************************

The CRO is initially staked for 180Days. So after 180 days, do i need to purchase and stake an additional 15K CRO to still be in Royal Indigo level?

I believe that as long as you don’t actively ask them to release your stacked amount after the 180 days have expired, you will keep your Royal Indigo tier.

No you just leave your 10k stake there and keep the benefits. It's only if you remove your stake or upgrade that you are liable for the new rates

I think I'm gonna use this offer to change my ruby for a royal indigo card. I use Curve anyway so can go back in time to get the cashback I miss while it reissues and ships

Am I understanding it right in that I can upgrade from ruby to indigo before the 2nd of November by adding 9k CRO?
Then to maintain indigo benefit from then on, I just need to roll over that stake every 180days?
Rather than bump it to 25k?

Yes, they've even waived the card reissue fee if you want to change the card as well

Yep, but keep in mind that as demonstrated recently none of the benefits or staking requirements are contractual commitments (they are more like “perks” for holding CROs). So what they are saying today can change anytime in the future, and i would say it is likely to change in the medium term based on what they believe is the best compromise between keeping current users happy, attracting new users, influencing the price of CRO in the direction they want it to go, and the cost to them for providing the benefits.

300 sxp is now less than 300 quid. Is it worth getting this card? I'm assuming they pulled the plug on BTC cashback as they'd be broke within weeks if paying out.
TBH Crypto.com isn't any easier to follow with all the changes that are announced on a weekly basis.

They are annoying with their constant changes for sure.

But they are also the only crypto-card (with a perks system) with a bit of a track record of working and sustaining for a while at a large scale (they have some problems with cards issuance delays and were impacted by the Wirecard debacle but they look like they have a handle on these). I am very skeptical of Swipe which IMO could well turn into vapourware with all its issues and given the fact that Binance likely wants to kill it to focus in their own card. So for now I see CDC and the Binance card as the only serious players (Binance might turn out to be better but for now the card is too new to have a track record). Or if people don’t want to go for a card with perks in exchange for staking tokens, the coinbase card seems fine although I know less about it.

Just spitballing some thoughts on the current state of play for the crypto card space.

Coinbase:I have a coinbase card since early 2019 and tbh I hate it and have only used it a couple of times.
The eco-system of 3 apps for actual value for money use of coinbase and the card is a PITA.
Couple that with no tangible benefits and CB's penchant for issue when trading volumes peak and it's just not attractive for either trading or hodling IMO.

Crypto.com: I have the CDC card since July, the app could be far more integrated.
If it allowed actual trading from within the app it could really be a one stop shop.
The card itself has become my payment card for practically everything and who doesn't love metal cards.
The policy chop and change is annoying as is their effort to manipulate CRO pricing.
But, it works, it's a step towards better AIO integration.
I do feel that there needs to be better integration of staking on app and exchange.
1 stake should confer benefits on both platforms.

Binance: I've had issues for months with my application failing at account binding, it resolved itself the other day and now I do have the Virtual Card with the physical on the way.
Have yet to look into where or how I manage the card and it's balance on the app.
If it falls within the binance app itself, it really offers an AIO approach to trading and spending that CDC will need to catch up to.

Celsius.ie: Opened an account there earlier this week. Very straightforward, easy to deposit to and the idea of earning interest with the HODL pile is quite attractive.
Really straightforward interface and I like the community stats.
There are rumours of a card but nothing definite.
It does offer some easy payment options directly within the app though.

Swipe.io: Haven't used, but the wait for a card and verification process seems a bit long winded.
