Our Verdict
X Money offers 3% back on debit card spend. I couldn’t easily find a list of exclusions for Uphold. I personally try to stay away from these types of products as I don’t think it’s sustainable long term and I don’t have a lot of trust in different crypto marketplaces. Still worth exploring for some people though.
