Where these numbers come from

Every figure above was read from the issuer’s own page: https://help.ether.fi/en/articles/303623-what-are-the-transaction-limits-and-fees-for-personal-cash-credit-cards. We last read it on 2026-08-05.

Checking note

Re-checked 2026-08-04 and found one real error: we had recorded the foreign-currency fee as "Core 0-0.5%", but the official wording is that ether.fi applies the prevailing FX base rate (~1%) and may add a margin on top of that. The 0-0.5% is only the margin, so our figure understated the real cost. Both layers are now shown. This round also adds the 50 USD physical card fee (Core, shipping included) and the tiered cashback. Virtual card issuance and annual fee are still not published, so they stay blank. 2026-08-12, hands-on update: FamilyMart now reads "Works with Apple Pay" — our earlier "declined in testing" was overturned by a retest. 7-Eleven still declines. The aggregate "Convenience stores: not supported" row was removed, because the two chains no longer behave the same and one line covering both would be untrue. Fees were not re-checked; checkedAt stays 2026-08-05.
