Krak Card Cashback Overview
What is card cashback?
Eligible cardholders can earn cashback on eligible purchases made with their physical or virtual card. Your cashback rate is based on your Rewards tier at the time the merchant finalizes the transaction, not when you make the purchase.
For example, if you are on a 1% tier when you authorize a transaction but on a 2% tier when it finalizes, you receive 2%. Equally, if you move to a 0% tier when it finalizes, you receive 0%.
Rewards tiers — US
Your cashback rate is based on your Rewards tier, which is set by your average 30-day balance across Krak, Kraken and Kraken Pro, assessed once daily. The program targets cashback of up to 2% on eligible purchases.
Tier | 30-Day Average Assets Held (USD) | Cashback Rate |
|---|---|---|
Tier 1 | ≥ 50,000 | 2% |
Tier 2 | ≥ 10,000 | 1.5% |
Tier 3 | ≥ 1,000 | 1% |
Tier 4 | ≥ 200 | 0.5% |
Tier 5 | < 200 | 0% |
New cardholders receive top-tier rewards for their first 30 days after opening a Krak account; after that your tier is recalculated from your 30-day rolling average.
US cashback payout
You can choose to receive cashback in USD or BTC at launch; rewards are paid in your chosen currency. Cashback is locked in at merchant settlement, not at authorization.
What is the 30-day average balance?
Your 30-day average balance is the average balance of your account across Krak, Kraken and Kraken Pro over the last 30 days, calculated once daily. We use a 30-day average rather than your live balance to keep Rewards stable and predictable. You can find this balance in your Rewards hub.
How do deposits affect it?
When you deposit, the amount is spread evenly across 30 days, so your average rises gradually rather than instantly. For example, if your 30-day average is $1,000 and you deposit $300, your average rises by $10 today to $1,010, reaching about $1,150 at day 15 and $1,300 at day 30 with no other changes.
