Crypto.com (CDC) has a debit card (see a bit dated but a very thorough review here) which has seen nerfs over and over again to the point that it is near useless. One of the reasons people still kept this card is because it provided unlimited lounge visits through LoungeKey…

Since more or less day one, I have said that U.S. Bank’s Altitude Reserve is really good. It is one of the few cards (2021, 2022) that have year after year continued to be on a small list of “daily driver cards”. This reminds me that a 2023 version of…

5/14/2023 Update: Since the introduction of the rotating category Coinbase had started to advertise their card as “up to 4%”, however, it appears all trace of 4% is gone. This makes me believe 4% is more or less permanently gone. Of course, if somehow huge FOMO happens, they may up…

I did an extensive review on Fold, a Bitcoin earning card/platform, a while ago and updated the review here and there. For a long time, I had said that Fold and the Coinbase Debit card were the only two crypto cards I would recommend in general. But Fold has made…

I am generally a fan of prize-linked accounts and I have written an extensive review on PrizePool, mentioned how people are making thousands of dollars on Yotta, and gone over the odds of getting debit card swipe reimbursed in these platforms. PrizePool has been gearing up to publically launch “PrizePool…

A few days news broke out that T-Mobile is set to acquire Mint mobile for up to $1.35 billion (mint, NYT). Most people in r/mintmobile don’t see it as a pro-consumer move (see this thread) and I don’t either. Mint’s $15/month plan is pretty attractive and that’s the yearly plan…
