06062024 CC Blog 02 Revised

Since the Gemini Credit Card launched in April 2022, customers have earned millions in crypto rewards. Cardholders who kept their crypto rewards saw them more than double thanks to the recent crypto bull run.*

Let’s break down how Gemini Credit Card crypto rewards have performed:*

  • The average value of Gemini Credit Card crypto rewards awarded to cardholders has grown $471
  • The top 10% of cardholders’ crypto rewards increased in value by at least $1,286
  • The top 10% of cardholders’ crypto rewards increased in value by at least 206%
  • The top 50% of cardholders’ crypto rewards increased in value by at least 122%

Changing the Narrative Around Credit Card Rewards Programs

Unlike many traditional cash-back credit cards where your rewards will devalue over time, the Gemini Credit Card rewards have the power to increase in value. Historically, when consumers signed up for a traditional credit card with cash back, they received between 1% and 5% of the purchase price back and went on with their day. But recently consumers have noticed these legacy programs have not lived up to their billing.

In May, a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau report revealed that many who sign up for cash-back rewards cards have experienced numerous issues. The CFPB notes, “Credit card companies often use rewards programs as a ‘bait and switch’ by burying terms in vague language or fine print and changing the value of rewards after people sign up and earn them.” These issues are also problematic for cards that offer rewards in airline, hotel or other loyalty points, as those programs regularly cut or decrease benefits.

In comparison, Gemini Credit Card users’ rewards have the power to grow. Since rewards are paid back in crypto, the value of Gemini Credit Card rewards have showcased their ability to grow after hitting customer accounts as the value of cryptocurrencies have soared.

Crypto Rebound Drives Rewards Surge

Gemini Credit Card holders benefited immensely from bitcoin and ether’s recent rallies in particular. The value of bitcoin crypto rewards held by cardholders have appreciated by 141.3%, while ether rewards have appreciated by 119.6%.*

Gemini Credit Card holders have seen positive appreciation on their altcoin rewards. Customers who selected 16 of the alt coins saw their rewards appreciate by more than 100%, 27 of the altcoins appreciated by more than 50%, and 30 saw depreciation.*

Here are a few of the top performing altcoins awarded to cardholders and the appreciation value of those rewards:*

  • Fetch.AI (FET) rewards appreciated by 543.8%
  • Solana (SOL) rewards appreciated by 325.5%
  • Render (RNDR) rewards appreciated by 286.7%
  • Livepeer (LPT) rewards appreciated by 215.7%
