Unboxing of the Gemini Card

NoMoreE46 — Sun, 15 Jun 2025 22:39:19 GMT

Getting interested in crytpo currency and this card seemed apropros.

Here is an unboxing of this metal card (dunno why I got black as I ordered the special bitcoin Orange.)

The front is clean with no PII while the reverse has your engraved name. Absent are the PAN, CVC and expiration date.

Great looking card! I don't know why I appreciate good card design and material so much - especially when cards are often used in digital wallets these days, but the card design and material makes a difference to me. Even if I add it to my digital wallet, card design (along with what it can do for me of course) makes a difference. For example, in Chase I like the sapphire cards, but I dislike the way my freedom flex looks, which resluts in less desire to use it, but I still use it for what I got it for. Logically, card design and material shouldn't matter to me; only what it can do for me should matter.

Does it also say, "World Elite" on the bottom front under the MC logo (which is covered up)?

Thanks for sharing the unboxing.

Added a full frontal view of this card @ktm. No wording under the silver balls.

If you look carefully at the Last picture of the first message, do know that "elite" word is engraved under the printed "world." The engraving is a bit strange imho like an after-thought.

I will report back after I get the Bitcoin orange version.

That is a nice card with solid benefits.

I've screenshotted and saved my card's information (card number, expiration and CVV) from the View Card option at Gemini's website to my phone in case I need it. Great card which I have grown to love in the last few weeks.

Approved on 12/18/24 with a SL of 2K. Auto-CLI to 15K on 5/26/25. Just added money to my BTC account, and plan on diverting some of monthly spend from my BofA CCR.

I've grown to love this card. The auto-CLI sure helped.

Congrats. Gemini Card user here as well. Solid rewards if having your cash back deposited in the form of Crypto is appealing. Rewards rate is on par with anyone else on the high end.

The only negative is Credit Line Increases are fully up to them. You can't request one via their portal and you can't get one via calling. If you use it alot and pay it off then out of the blue you will get a email saying "You represent one of our best customers" here is a CLI.

@USMCOne True about the CLI issue. I pretty much assumed I would not get one since I wasn't putting much on the card. Since I received it in January, I only put a total of around $500 on it and paid in full. Out of the blue...just as you described...I got the CLI email. Completely unexpected.

Sharp looking card, not so special on rewards. SUB is not so special either for the spend. I never get a card for CL padding or looks, pass.

I am about the same as well. I use Apple pay to pay for everything the card design nowadays for myself is not relevant. I can't think of a time I've pulled any cards out in the last couple years to pay for anything.

Like the card so far and use it for a few hundred a month is all after meeting the sub also increased use when i see a dip of bitcoin i try to swipe it more vs when at all time highs to maximize the rewards. Easily can beat the 3-4% cats if you time it correctly and BTC or whatever currency you have continues to appreciate. Not really meant for short term rewards imho and I am not using it that way all my BTC earned is staying active and hopefully will hit new highs every few months. Not sure what my end goal is whether will cash out in a few years or let it ride until i retire as crypto is interesting. Back when I mined ETH with gpus I would cash out a few times a week depending on gas fees / earnings and price but this is a bit different.

Nice card and no issues with it at all.. Only thing that is a weird oddity of the card is the available credit doesn't get made available until after 30 days after payment so if you don't have an adequate credit line you are some what limited but not an issue for me but could be for people with 1k CL's

Sort of unclear on WHY you posted an unboxing of this card... it's not a new card that just came out?

I have the rose gold one. I keep it in my wallet, even though I rarely use it, cuz it's super sexy.

Similar to an Apple Card without any identifiable numbers on it....I am a big fan of this design. I don't worry when it leaves my sight (like at a restaurant or in a store where I am seated or away from the cashier as my cards get processed for a purchase. Frankly, I wish more card issuers got on board with this design.

très astute of you @cashorcharge!

This unboxing is very familiar to the Applecard. In fact, I would say Gemini/webbank is probably using the same fulfillment firm as Apple/Goldman:

That is a beautiful card! Gemini did a good job. I will eventually get the black or silver one. The engraving adds a nice touch too and bonus points for being metal!

Too bad that I will need to be in the garden for a little while; I have a mortgage on the horizon and I need to be squeaky clean.

We have the AMEX Rose Gold that my DW carries.

Yes, this card is a few years old. However, I had decided to create a thread for a few reasons:

dont believe anyone had done an unboxing
point out that this is just like the unboxing of the Apple Card
to show the new stunning Orange Bitcoin [my pics suck] version (I had thought I was getting Orange from the beginning) but got the black and decided to still post.

I did hit the SUB so expecting the $200 SUB in crytpo soon.

I want to get the XRP version of this card through Gemini.

This card is offered through WebBank

I applied and was turned down.

Does anyone know the thresholds for approval?

Re: Unboxing of the Gemini Card

Options now include a Solana themed card (purple to green gradient) to go with the XRP (gray) and Bitcoin (orange). The three original colors appear to all still be available (black/silver/rose gold). You can only get two card replacements per year, according to the replacement tab in app.

The Solana one is a little tempting, but I don't like the crypto symbol embossed on the front (although you can set the cards to any of the options). I'll continue to stick with my rose gold; it remains unique enough visually in my lineup.

I like that XRP version too now.

They pulled EX and my score was 795 with 1% UTI.

PS @unsungivy ,

One can get more than two cards annually but there is a $20 fee...

True on paying for more than 2 cards. I just disregard that because doing that would be absurd!
