BlockFi has announced it will be launching a bitcoin (BTC) earning credit card in 2021 (waitlist currently available). Here’s what you need to know about this card:
- $250 in BTC sign up bonus when you spend $3,000 or more within the first three months
- Annual fee of $200 not waived first year
- 1.5% in BTC back on all purchases
Honestly this card is useless, the sign up bonus is basically $50 once you pay the annual fee and there are really no benefits to having the card that justify that annual fee. Might as well get a card with a big sign up bonus or high earning rate and then just convert it into BTC yourself.
