Card FAQ
What are the supported countries?
You can sign up as long as your country isn't on the restricted list. See the full list of supported countries.
Are there any top-up fees?
No — there are no top-up fees for USDT and USDC.
Can I still qualify for the perks if I unstake my tokens?
If you unstake your tokens, you can keep using your Based card until it expires — but you'll no longer receive card benefits such as cashback.
How do the rebates work?
Rebates are processed automatically, as long as the subscription is charged directly to the merchant (Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, Anthropic, OpenAI).
