I Compared Crypto Cards on $2,000 Monthly Spend

9 min read

A like-for-like net-value test at $2,000/month with 30% foreign spend and 20% ATM withdrawals.

The test setup

We held usage constant — $2,000/month total spend, 30% in foreign currency, 20% withdrawn at ATMs — and ran every tracked card through the same net-value model. This removes marketing noise and compares apples to apples.

What changed the ranking

Cards with no monthly fee and low FX consistently rose to the top, while high-headline-cashback cards with caps slipped once the cap bit at $2k spend. ATM-heavy users saw an even bigger reshuffle.
