In this video, I will share with you my thoughts on Curve Card after having it used for quite a while now. I personally love everything Curve is offering, especially since they have a free Curve Card option as well, which I am using.
I love Curve Card because it allows me to get rid of all my other physical cards I used to carry with me. Now with just one card, I have all of my cards in one. In fact, as I use it with Apple Pay, I don't even need to carry any card with me. Curve Card also works with Apple Watch, Google Pay & Samsung Pay.
Curve Card also offers a going back in-time feature, allowing you to change the card for a transaction you did in the past. This has been very handy when I used the wrong card for a big transaction, which didn't maximize the cashback I got from it. With this feature, I can go back in time, change the card and get the cashback, sweet.
Furthermore, Curve Card App easily tracks all your spending and categorizes them across all your cards, which makes staying on top of your spending easy peasy.
I also love that Curve Card makes non-smart cards smart. There are still a lot of cards out there that are not compatible with Apple Pay or Google Pay, if you add them to Curve Card, you can use them with both services.

One question: is 1% cash back from every transactions? If I use 3000 Euro this month with curve, can I get 30 Euro back ? Thanks
@@simonpeter9617 Yes, for the first month they did offer that, but might stop from time to time, depending on which promotions they run. But in case you refer someone with you code, your friends or family you will get additional 30 days with 1% cashback on all valid transactions, which include most👌
I was just declined at one of the grocery stores for using curve. They need to get their act together.
Hi there, sad to hear that, never happened to me, but I also stopped using Curve a while back, so I hope that was only a one off for you, sometimes they do have maintenance on their networks which is normal, but usually you would get an app notice in advance. Cheers
Awesome video Kai as always. What is your strategy when paying with nexo card. How and when are you repaying that amount that you’ve spent? Cheers 🍻
Hi mate and thanks a lot. 99% of the time I pay with my Curve Card and Nexo card together to maximise the cashback rewards. Then I repay my Nexo balance weekly to keep it low and not trigger automatic transfer of my BTC from saving to credit line wallet, this way I maximise my staking rewards. Cheers.
@@SmartMoneywithKai great strategy Kai. Weekly transaction to nexo to repay. Stay safe 🤙🏼
@@Success_is_inevitable Cheers mate🤙
Literally 0 point in the free version of curve now, especially as you can have unlimited cards in Apple Wallet/Google/Samsung. Many banks now also have 0% fees when spending abroad, so that is also pointless. If you want cashback then get a cashback card, where you can use everywhere, unlike select retailors on Curve. Thanks for the video!
Hi Niall, thanks a lot. I think the free one is still amazing to get started, but yes, if you don't get referrals and not 1% on everything then it does become limited, but I guess always depends on individual requirements. Bu due to frequent travelling, I will definitely upgrade in due course👍
@@SmartMoneywithKai In the UK, you can get a Chase current account which has 0% fees, and 1% cashback - which I've been using since it released here in September. I would deffo sign up if you get the chance
@@niallwood Thanks for sharing and sounds awesome👌Sadly don't have it here in Europe.
What is this magical "cash back" card you speak of. Can we get names?
@@niallwood I'm in ireland
Hi, can the curve card and the curve application be understood as another account? Or just as a second version of my card.
Hi Dominik, yes, it's basically an extension of your other card account. More like a payment processor that centralises all your different cards into one, plus offers you great additional benefits and perks👌
@@SmartMoneywithKai thank you
If I pay with the curve card, do you keep information of the transaction? For example, I use Revolut for daily purchases and I use their budgeting tool. Can it work with curve ? Or will the transaction info show that it was sent to Curve?
Hi Ioannis great question and the amazing thing is you will have analytics on both card so your Revolut will show the transaction as always in addition Curve does too which is handy as I also mostly use Revolut but sometimes few other cards so this way it’s easy to stay on top of total spend👌
I combine my Plutus Card with Curve for 4% cash back, I also get Curve Black for free with my Plutus card
Awesome strategy and I also like double staking cashback rewards from two different cards at the same time👌
Do you have a referral for this?
@@sauliio Yes Sir, here it is. Get €5 plus 1% Cashback on everything for 30 days when you sign-up to Curve using my link

@@SmartMoneywithKai Was waiting for your response as it’s your video 😂
@@wealthsimplified6668 😂😂😂👍
Hmmm I am confused I am going abroad in eight weeks I have not been for five years, I got curve a a couple of years ago mine is free but the card is black ? do I need a travel card or can I use the black curve card or ordinary uk bank cards to withdraw cash from an atm over there also can I spend using curve on my phone, I am asking as I picked up a travel card from the post office this morning put £50 on it and they charged me £56.99 this seems a bit extortionate for just £50 unless it's to pay for the card.
Hi there, not sure exactly, but it seems maybe you had signed up for their black level card which does have an annual price to it, so maybe now that you have funds on the account they've taken the annual charge right away. Maybe you can reach out to their support to revert and downgrade to free if you prefer it. If you travel to a different currency country than your home country, upgrading might make sense as you get unlimited free FX fee conversion. Cheers
Did you opt in for the new curve changes free plan is now 2.99%. For any spend. Time to go metal
Hi Sam, thanks for pointing this out and this is indeed quite limiting for the free plan. I will see if with Referrals it still is without limit, if not, then definitely time to upgrade✅
@@SmartMoneywithKai yes each time you spend with the free curve you will get charged 2.99%
@@Sam-pn2kc Seems I am still lucky with referrals. Just tried and no charges instead 1% cashback👌
Do you still get 1% cashback with the free version? If yes can you extend it with referring people?
Absolutely. That’s the amazing part. Pay nothing, just refer friends & family and both you and them benefit from it. 1% cashback on any transaction for 1 month and €5 cashback once for every referral you make👌
@@SmartMoneywithKai so i can still extend my cashback period with referrals?
@@GodSon10 Indeed. Let’s say you make 12 referrals you will have 1 year of 1% cashback👌
