New Gate Card Rewards System seems like a smart upgrade for everyday crypto users

The one thing I always wished for with crypto was to be able to feel that everyday spending would be rewarded, and this new Gate Card points system seems to be heading in that direction.

What has caught my eye wasn't just the cash back though, it was the flexibility to select your source for the cash back – from Yu'ebao, Gate Pay, or spot balance – that seemed like a thoughtful, yet practical choice for the crypto user. This way one does not get locked into any one approach of managing funds as and when the situation changes.

Also, having the points with permanent validity seemed a better approach than having to constantly try and utilize points before they expire and instead convert them to USDT or GT – these seem to carry a real use value.

I also felt the points tier system was a welcome feature as earning up to 8% cash back for the active user may translate to a substantial increase over time, without having spent extra money for those reward. Of course one does not suggest to go out and spend more, only to get the cash back reward, but it seemed like a sensible complement to ones daily spend.

I really hope the industry continues to move forward with crypto integration such as this and makes digital assets useful in a number of ways outside of just trading and investing. It would be interesting to see how this points system grows and additional redemption options get rolled out for.

What would you do with the points if you owned the card? Redeem USDT for stable holdings, or hold it forGT for a longer-term gain?
