Our research notes
RE-VERIFIED 2026-09-28 against XPlace's terms and conditions (effective 20 May 2026), docs.x.place and x.place. CASHBACK CHANGED: Cash Mode now pays no cash back, only XP points (1% / 3% / 6% / 10% by tier). USDC cash back of 0.5% / 1% / 1.5% / 2% (Basic to Platinum), capped at $10 / $40 / $100 / $250 a month, is paid only in Credit Mode, which spends against a Kamino loan on deposited collateral; the x.place cashback FAQ says cashback is available only in Credit Mode. The terms (section 6.2) still list the older Cash 0.5% to 2% and Credit 1% to 4% table; we use the less generous current pages. MODELLING: every plan pays 0%, what a Cash Mode user receives in cash; XP is not counted because the terms (8.3) say it has no monetary value. FX: the terms (6.3) set XPlace's own fee at 1% / 0.5% / 0.25% / 0% by tier and the card terms list 0% cross-border; XPlace's docs say Visa's 1% applies on top, which the binding documents don't show, so we use the terms' figures. The 14 Sep 2026 date of the change and 12 months of old rates for existing members are reported only by third parties. FROM THE 12 SEP 2026 CHECK (still current): annual fees $99 Silver, $249 Gold, $999 Platinum; operator Pontech Group L.L.C-FZ (Meydan Free Zone, Dubai), card issued by Third National, programme managed by Rain; no Borrow Mode origination fee in official documents; the terms say no token has been issued and no allocation, launch date or TGE structure exists; the US programme excludes 19 states (AZ, DE, GA, ID, LA, MD, MS, MO, NV, NM, ND, OH, OR, RI, SD, TN, VT, WA, WI) and the terms separately list NY and TX as restricted. LTVs: USDT 80%, cbBTC and wETH 70%, SOL 65%, jitoSOL 50%.
What changed on this card
- 28 Sep 2026Cash back only in Credit modeXPlace's pages now show no cash back in Cash mode, only XP points with no cash value. USDC cash back of 0.5% to 2% needs Credit mode, which borrows against your crypto. We saw it on 28 Sep; the exact start date isn't published.XPlace docs: cashbackCosts more
What's good and what to watch
Good
- Non-custodial: user keys, Kamino Finance smart contracts, XPlace cannot access funds
- Earn variable yield on collateral via Kamino while spending (x.place listed SOL 6.15% and USDT 3.26% APY on 28 Sep 2026)
- No sell event / taxable event in Credit Mode: borrow against crypto, not sell
- Dual spending modes (Credit Mode + Cash/Debit Mode with USDC)
- XPlace's own FX fee falls by tier: 1% (Basic), 0.5% (Silver), 0.25% (Gold), 0% (Platinum); 0% purchase fees on all tiers
- Broad global acceptance: Visa, 160+ countries, Apple Pay / Google Pay
- XP points accrue on genuine spend, a free option if a token ever materialises
Watch
- US programme exists but 19 states are excluded from issuance (and the T&Cs separately list NY/TX as restricted)
- Cash Mode (spending your own USDC) pays no cash back, only XP points, which the terms say have no cash value
- USDC cash back (0.5% to 2% by tier) is paid only in Credit Mode, which means borrowing against crypto collateral at a variable Kamino rate
- Credit Mode cash back is capped at $10 / $40 / $100 / $250 a month by tier
- XPlace's docs say Visa's 1% FX fee applies on top of its tier fee; its terms don't, so check your first foreign purchase
- XPlace's own documents disagree: the terms (dated 20 May 2026) still show the older, higher cashback table and a lower Gold spending limit than the website
- Subscriptions, electronics and telecom (MCC 5815-5818, 5732, 5045, 4812, 4814) earn no cash back
- Gold and Platinum physical cards are not yet available
- No token exists and XPlace's terms disclaim any allocation or launch date
- Yield rates on collateral are variable and far below advertised maximums in practice (1.7% to 5.6% observed vs 16% headline)
- ATM withdrawals not supported
- Annual fees are non-refundable and renew yearly
Borrow against your crypto (credit)Credit Mode
Borrow USDC against your crypto via Kamino (non-custodial, no credit check, no origination fee) and spend it with no asset sale; you pay a variable Kamino borrow rate and risk liquidation if collateral falls (max LTV ~80% USDT / ~70% BTC-ETH / ~65% SOL). Solana-only.
It's a loan: rates vary, and your collateral can be liquidated if prices fall.
