Looks like you have to pay the yearly subscription then get 4 (depending on card) free visits a year the rest you would pay.
Update: No yearly fee to pay. Just don`t create a membership, but activate the card. Only 4 free visits per year though.

Confirmed, just did the same.
Are you going to use the card soon? I’d be curious to know how much I need to keep on the card since I’m only using if for lounge access anymore.
IIRC Lounge Key blocked some amount (don’t remember how much exactly, maybe 25 USD?) per visit and wouldn’t allow you in if the card balance was too low.
Wiill use it in 2 weeks, will report back. Also, only using now for lounge access. Not sure how much is blocked, hopefully not too much, don`t keep much in that account any more.

Worked perfect, just like before with LoungeKey. Got confirmation email that it cost 0.94 Euros! However, nothing shows in the app for this transaction. Only keep about 25 chf on this account, only use it for Lounge access.

Same here, used the ZRH lounge. Confirmation e-mail about a 0.94 EUR transaction, but no actual charge to the card and no transaction shown in the app.
I got an E-Mail this morning with the title
“CRO Lockup Will Be Replaced by Cardholder CRO Staking”
Did someone read the fine print already?
I am afraid they might want to ‘replace’ something and want me to make an additional payment so that my stake that was at 3500€ is at 3500€ again.
I got the email even if I don’t have the card anymore . I might have 1-2 eur on the account and an almost similar value amount of coin somewhere else. (atm i have a 90% loss of value. yeah!)

hell yeah. For me this were the most expensive lounge visits in history.
Dear all,
I apologize for puting this topic back on the table and for not reading the 3 years of history.
I still read some messages and I am today wondering if it would be interesting to start staking with this Jade Green Visa card.
Please correct me if i’m wrong and feel free to share your opinion.
First of all the 3500 eur worth of CRO is, to me, today, not that risky. Why ? If you look at the chart of CRO to CHF the “losses potential” is not that low in comparison to January 2022 : CRO en CHF : cours de Cronos en Swiss Franc | CoinGecko
Then the base currency of the credit card is EUR or GBP … but isn’t it better as swiss francs ? Because it is a debit card and not a credit card.
Let say you spent 1’000 EUR at the beginning of december 2023 and have to pay your debt at the end of december.
1000 EUR at the beginning of december 2023 was worth : 946 CHF where it was worth 928 CHF at the end of december. Yes, yes, we are currently on an uptrend so we would loose money for the same exemple from january to april 2024 but the long trend gives me right. Better to have debt in EUR than CHF right ?
Second of all 2-3% cashback is better than any credit card I can have in switzerland. I currently use the Amex / Visa cashback cards recommanded by Marc but that does not seem optimal.
Plus spotify, netflix for free is something I wouldn’t mind using. Airport lounge ? why not… I currently use the free spotify, no netflix and pay for airport lounge when I need it …
You can even withdraw some cash from ATM for free which could dilute the 2 free withdrawals I have with neon free …
I mean, that does not seem half bad at the moment. I’d rather stack CRO than EUR to be honest 
But sure, people who stacked 3500 EUR worth of CRO each 180 days how much did you loose / made ? I mean if you had it in feb 2022 you could have lost half of it by august 2022 (180 days later) at that point do you need to top it up with 1750 EUR ? That would be a pretty expensive credit card …
Or do they just let you use it as long as your initial amount keeps stacked ?
Thanks for reading and advising,
Regards
Wrong. Altcoins can go -99% from ATH.
Thanks for reminding me of the worst investment ever 
Yield and staking rewards cannot avoid the coin to dump, in fact they accelerate exactly that.

I’ve made 3k USD of cashback with the card and 25k USD of loss with the CRO’s… They introduced some fees towards the end of 2022 which were not acceptable.
Also it’s a pre-prepaid debit card, so your calculation with 1k EUR debt for a month is obsolete…

Honesty, if you are willing to stake 3.5k on a noname brand card, why not just pay for a decent credit card?
I have the platinum card from visa now, it costs 500 a year, but boy do you have a real service.
Travel Insurance, concierge service and airport lounge are inclusive (you get some other perks…). You also get some cashback.
The best part is you know what it costs, the exact terms dont change overnight and dont lose any money. It works with chf (eur or gbp are optional).
Any problem i had has been answered quickly and professionally.
I know that if i have any issues somewhere in the world they will try to actively help me and fix the issue. Where as with the cro card…

Sorry mate 
It’s true that my few investments in “high interest yield coins” were … alike
Yup fees are not acceptable on such card … i didn’t see them in your website tough.
Usefull information ! Thanks !
EDIT : In fact if it’s prepaid it’s the other way around, that pro would become a con.
Yup sure, if it’s a good product that’s worht its cost why not.
Personally i’m just trying to find the cheapest or more frugal / optimal option. That’s why im not interested on those services. Plus I rarely use concierge or lounges so I tend to pay for those services instead of having an ongoing subscription.
But sure, I guess i’ll stay with my cashback cards, very professional when you call them too but no airport lounge x)
Thank you all for your inputs !
/does anyone (else) still has CRO? I still have them parked and they stay as flat as a carpet.
I wonder if I should have exchanged them for 0.0000000001 btc or somethng

I have seen that they recently changed my Jade account to a PRO or that I could move there.
Has anybody studied, how benefits will degrade with this? What happens to my.cashback and my lounge stays?
Old crypto.com accounts were open with a EUR bank account in Lithuania, held in customer’s name (so you had a personal LT eur iban).
Just noticed their partner bank Transactive Systems UAB ceased to exist in 2023.
It’s not been discussed, has it?
The account was not directly linked to the prepaid card but used as a fiat wallet to buy crypto and/or top-up the card.
They’ve moved to a Malta bank.
@ChickenFat I see you are a long-time still active user, have you ever had notifications about bank change in EUR and/or have you had cash held at transactive?
Mine was empty but I happen to report all my IBANs held in my name in my tax return, even 0’d.
next time it will be “oops sorry this was actually closed in 2023 the bank failed due to issues with money laundering” “no, not me, sir/madam”
It does not look too good to befriend with the tax office
