1 Earn unlimited 1.5% back in bitcoin rewards when you make payments on your purchases. Balance transfers and payments on non-purchase transactions, such as sending funds electronically to your bank account, are not eligible to earn rewards. Your bitcoin will be purchased within 1-2 statement periods from the date your payment is received. The value of the bitcoin will vary depending on the time it is purchased. Sales of bitcoin are subject to a 1.5% transaction fee which will be deducted from your sale proceeds. Sale proceeds are redeemable only in the form of statement credit. Additional limitations apply. Please refer to the Program Terms and Conditions and your Cardholder Agreement for more information.
Bitcoin services and accounts provided by NYDIG. See NYDIG Terms. NYDIG does not support bitcoin services and accounts in all states. Rewards associated with the Upgrade Card, when applicable, are provided by Upgrade.

2 To qualify for the $200 bitcoin welcome bonus, you must open and fund a new Rewards Checking Account and make 3 debit card transactions within 60 days of your Upgrade Card account opening. The value of the $200 bonus will be based on the value of bitcoin at the time it is purchased (within 1-2 statement periods from the date the bonus is earned) and may change in price by the time you choose to sell it Refer to Program Terms. Your Upgrade Card must be in good standing to receive a bonus.

3 Credit Lines opened through Upgrade feature Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) of 14.99% - 29.99% and line amounts ranging $500 - $50,000. The lowest rates require Autopay and the majority of the line amounts will be $25,000 or under. For example, a $5,000 transaction with a 36 month term and a 19.99% APR has a required monthly payment of $187.90. The APR on your draw may be higher or lower. Your rate, line amount, and default term depend on maintaining a qualifying credit score, your credit usage history, requested amount, and other factors. The Upgrade Card is unique in that it allows you to obtain a series of closed-end loans which you may access through transactions such as card purchases up to the approved line amount. As you repay your balance, additional credit may become available to you up to the approved line amount subject to meeting our credit requirements. The Upgrade Card will not replenish as it would in an open-end credit arrangement.

4 The Upgrade Card cannot be used at an ATM.

5 With Upgrade Shopping powered by Dosh® you get cash back on qualifying purchases at participating merchants. For the current list of participating merchants and offers, go to Upgrade Shopping on your account dashboard. Participating merchants and offer terms may be changed from time to time without notice.
After a qualifying purchase has settled, your cash back will typically be applied to your balance within 90 days. Cash back rewards applied to your balance will not satisfy or reduce your regular monthly payments.
If you return, charge back, cancel, dispute, or otherwise request a refund for a qualifying purchase for which you have already received Upgrade Shopping cash back, we reserve the right to remove any related cash back amount from your Upgrade Card or withhold future cash back to cover any such amount.

The interest rate on your existing balances will never change. ACH transactions will be subject to a minimum amount, which is determined based on your total line availability. There is no minimum transaction amount when you use the Upgrade Card. For more information, please refer to the applicable Personal Credit Line Agreement.
