Sources & how we verify this
Researched June 2026; verify terms before publishing. Cashback paid in mUSD (MetaMask's T-bill-backed stablecoin, issued by Bridge/Stripe; switched from USDC to mUSD Oct 2025). Metal's 3% cap is $10,000/YEAR, flattened to $833.33/mo (=10000/12) for this monthly model; the real cap is annual, so a heavy single month earns 3% beyond $833 until the yearly $10k is exhausted. Cashback rates, the annual cap basis, the $199 fee, FX, the $1,200/mo ATM waiver, mUSD payout, and 'no staking' are all confirmed HIGH against official MetaMask support pages. Separate MetaMask Rewards points program (1 pt/$1, redeemable for LINEA tokens / fee discounts, season-based) is NOT counted as cashback.
Card terms are researched and illustrative, so always confirm the latest with the issuer. Nothing here is financial advice.
