This keeps the system flexible while ensuring transparency. 

 

What Qualifies for Rewards 


Most everyday purchases using your Wirex Card qualify for Cryptoback™. 


Eligible categories typically include: 


  • Groceries 

  • Restaurants 

  • Online shopping 

  • Subscriptions 

  • Travel bookings 

  • Transport and fuel 

  • Digital services 

  • Retail purchases 


Both online and in-store transactions can qualify.

How to Increase Your Crypto Cashback Earnings 


Want to optimise your Cryptoback™? Here are the top strategies. 

 

1. Use Your Wirex Card for All Daily Spending 


Small, frequent purchases compound quickly.  

 

2. Focus on High-Frequency Categories 


These categories generate the most long-term crypto rewards: 


  • Travel bookings (Book Exclusive Deals & Save Money with Wirex Travel) 

  • Groceries and supermarkets 

  • Utility bills 

  • Digital tools and work software 

  • Restaurants and cafés 

  • Online retail 

  • Transportation 


The more you route through Wirex, the more you earn. 

 

3. Use Real-Time Conversion 


If you spend from a crypto or stablecoin balance: 


  • Wirex converts it automatically to the local currency 

  • You still earn Cryptoback™ on eligible purchases 

  • You maintain control over when to convert assets 


This is useful for people who hold part of their income in USDT/USDC or other stablecoins. 

 

4. Keep an Eye on Rewards Boosts 


Wirex occasionally offers: 


  • promotional multipliers 

  • regional boosts 

  • category-specific rewards 

  • loyalty-tier enhancements 


These can significantly increase your crypto earnings. 

 

5. Upgrade Your Tier (If Available in Your Region) 


Higher tiers often unlock: 


  • higher Cryptoback™ rates 

  • enhanced spending limits 

  • additional perks 


Choose a tier based on your spending behaviour for maximum return. 

 

High-Value Rewards Scenario: 8% Cryptoback™ Example 


Let’s imagine a Wirex user on a top-tier plan in a region where up to 8% Cryptoback™ is available on eligible purchases. 


Below is a realistic monthly spending profile. 

 

Scenario: Everyday Spending With 8% Cryptoback™ 


Monthly Spending Breakdown 

  • Groceries: €300 

  • Restaurants & cafés: €150 

  • Transport: €80 

  • Online shopping: €200 

  • Subscriptions: €40 


Total Monthly Spend 

€770 


Crypto Rewards Calculation (8%) 

€770 × 8% = €61.60 earned in crypto each month 


Annual Rewards 

€61.60 × 12 = €739.20 in crypto per year 


That’s a substantial amount of crypto simply by routing everyday payments through the Wirex Card. 

 

Scenario: Travel Spending With 8% Cryptoback™ 


Travel spending is often higher-value, so rewards accumulate quickly. 


Travel Spending Breakdown 

  • Flights: €450 

  • Hotels: €300 

  • Dining abroad: €200 


Total Travel Spend 

€950 


Crypto Rewards Calculation (8%) 

€950 × 8% = €76.00 earned in crypto 


One trip could earn you the equivalent of a year’s worth of rewards on some traditional cashback cards. 

 

Scenario: Mixed Fiat + Crypto Spending 


Whether you spend from fiat, crypto or stablecoins, Wirex rewards apply to eligible card transactions — so your crypto portfolio grows through everyday spending. 

 

Redeeming Your Rewards 


Cryptoback™ rewards appear directly in your Wirex wallet. 


You can: 

  • hold the crypto long-term 

  • convert it to stablecoins 

  • swap it to fiat 

  • spend it via the Wirex Card
