The short version:
Bybit scores 4/5 on Sweepbase vs 3/5 for Plutus. That gap shows up mostly in fees and feature coverage.
Bybit Card is the better card here. Bybit also lets you earn yield on your deposits, something Plutus doesn't offer. Zero fixed costs give Bybit a cost advantage from day one. It works with Apple Pay and Google Pay, which is useful if you pay by phone. However, Plutus may be better if you need something it does better.
In short: Bybit Card (4/5) is the stronger option for most people compared to Plutus Card (3/5).

| 3-9% cashback in PLU tokens based on PLU staking level. Free tier was removed in 2026 — all plans now require a paid subscription. Starter plan: GBP 6.99/month, eligible spend capped at GBP 250/month = max GBP 7.50 cashback/month in PLU. Net earnings after subscription: GBP 7.50 - GBP 6.99 = GBP 0.51/month profit. Everyday plan: GBP 14.99/month, cap GBP 500/month. Premium: GBP 29.99/month, cap GBP 1,000/month. 9% requires staking 40,000 PLU tokens (~GBP 5,200 at current prices). 2.5% FX fee on all non-domestic transactions (was previously 0%). Perks (Netflix, Spotify rebates) require additional PLU staking to unlock slots. PLU token is volatile. UK/EEA only. Realistic cashback for a typical user on the cheapest plan: 3% on max GBP 250/month, netting ~GBP 0.51/month after fees. | Advertised 2-10% cashback based on VIP level, but the base tier has a strict $10 USDT monthly cashback cap. Even at 2% cashback, you max out at just $500/month in spending before hitting the cap. At typical $2,000/month spending, the effective cashback rate drops to just 0.5% ($10 cap / $2,000). To reach 10%, you need VIP Supreme status, which requires $1M+ in assets or massive trading volume ($1M spot + $10M derivatives in 30 days for VIP 1 alone). No staking required, but the monthly cap makes the high percentage misleading for regular users. Realistic cashback for a typical user: 2% capped at $10/month. | |
