PLU Rewards can be earned through cashback and perks, and can be kept for staking, withdrawn to your wallet, or swapped for card balance, your choice!

 

Your Available PLU Rewards

The PLU Rewards that you have earned so far can be used in 3 different ways:

• Staking: Just keeping them in your account is already counting for the staking levels. 
• Withdrawal to wallet: You can move them to your external crypto wallet and use them in any way you wish after it. Not your keys, not your crypto.
• Swap to card balance: You can swap them for fiat balance to be added to your Plutus Card, so you can spend them in a practical way.

To use them in any of those ways, they need to be in the "Available" status. To be Available, they need to stay in your account for 45 days from the date you earned them, this is to prevent fraud with refunds.

You can check the status of your PLU Rewards in the Pluton tab of the web app, including the summary of your reward statuses:

• Total earned: All your PLU rewards added up, regardless of the status.
• Available: Your PLU rewards that have passed the 45 days mark after they have been earned. They count now for your staking levels and can be withdrawn to your wallet or swapped for card balance.
• Not available: The difference between Total Earned and Available, is not displayed explicitly here. These rewards haven't passed the 45 days mark yet, or have been manually rejected by our Support team.
• Total withdrawn: This is how much of your PLU you have used for withdrawals so far.
• Pending: This is how much of your PLU has yet to be used for withdrawals.
  • Note: The info label here is incorrect and seems to imply that this is PLU waiting for the 45 days to pass, this is not correct and will be fixed.
  • This is the balance of PLU earned from valid card transactions. 
• Available Balance: Validly earned PLU becomes available for withdrawal 45 days after the payment to prevent abuse of the rewards program (e.g. returned items). Occasionally, some transactions may be flagged for review by our compliance team.

FAQ

Why is the withdrawal fee 3 EUR/GBP? Gas costs are way lower now!
Gas costs fluctuate over time and we can't adjust the price quickly enough to follow the live market. You can read more about the update to the withdrawal fee here.
