One thing to keep in mind when visiting an airport lounge with a guest with the Icy White, try to keep at least $64 on your card as when Kahoobb went, he was charged $32 for himself and his guest each. However, Crypto.com reimbursed it back to his Visa card after around one month. One thing to keep in mind on each of these subscription reimbursements and 10% back on Expedia and such, is that they all have caps that are in USD amounts. Spotify is $12.99 Per Month, Netflix is $13.99 USD per month, Amazon Prime is $12.99 Per Month and Expedia is $50 cap per month on 10%. With it being priced in USD it should benefit most people, except for those who use the EUR fiat currency, as they will not get the full amount of their subscription reimbursed as Netflix costs 13.49€ which is only 11.46€ reimbursed in USD.
Obsidian Black
The obsidian black is the last of the Crypto.com debit cards. This is an all-black metal card that provides all that you can desire from a prepaid card.

Now to the most interesting aspect – “hidden perks” of the Obsidian Black debit card.

This mysterious perk says “Crypto.com Visa Obsidian Black Cardholders get special perks when traveling by our preferred private jet partner VistaJet. The perks include a bottle of Dom Perignon onboard and one-way complimentary ground transportation on their first flight with VistaJet,” as stated by a Crypto.com employee. In addition, the size of the bottle to be expected would be around “a recent vintage regular size bottle (750ml).”
Misconceptions about the Crypto.com debit cards
- After I stake for a card, will I lose my card perks during and or after my six months is finished if it goes down below the initial value of $400/$4000/$40000/$400000 when I staked?
No, you will not lose any card perks. As long as you don’t unstake your card, you will continue getting the same card benefits no matter the price of your staked CRO.
- Can I add more CRO to my card stake?
No, you can only stake the amount.
- Can I unstake excess CRO when it goes above the initial stake amount required?
You can only do this after your six months is up, but it will require you to unstake the full amount and then you would have to restake the initial amount which then would restart a six-month lock.
- After my six-month lock is up, do I have to relock it to keep my card benefits?
No, you do not. After six months of it being locked, you now have the option to unstake your CRO or keep it staked. If you unstake, then it will remove ALMOST every benefit from your card stake.
