Cashback Exclusions

The transaction types and merchant category codes that never earn cashback or referral rewards on Solid: cash-related transactions, crypto purchases, gambling, government payments, refunds, and excluded MCCs.

Effective date: August 28, 2026

Cashback is there to reward real spending. To keep the program sustainable and fair, some transaction types never earn cashback. The same exclusions apply to referral rewards.

Cashback rewards will not be issued for the following transaction types:

Cash-related transactions. ATM withdrawals, cash advances, quasi-cash reloads, money orders, traveler's cheques or other quasi-cash transactions, including through PayPal or similar services.

Cryptocurrency purchases. Direct purchases of crypto assets using the Solid card.

Gambling and betting transactions. Casino payments, online gambling, lottery tickets, and other wagering-related expenses.

Government or judicial payments. Taxes, fines, alimony, child support, or court-related fees.

Refunded or canceled transactions. Transactions that are reversed, disputed, or refunded.

Professional services and timeshares. Legal consulting, business services, and time-share purchases.

Transaction manipulation. Transactions deemed to simulate or manipulate legitimate purchases. This includes repeated identical transactions (for example, more than 10 identical payments) and accounts transacting exclusively in sub-dollar amounts. Such payments may be canceled, and accounts showing these patterns may lose access to rewards permanently.
