End of Summer Sale Campaign Terms and Conditions

1. Overview

Summer spend adds up fast: flights, dinners out, last-minute shopping, and weekend trips.

That’s why eligible KAST users can earn 5% cashback on select Shopping, Dining, and Travel purchases from 13 August 2026 to 30 September 2026 as part of the End of Summer Sale Campaign.

The Campaign covers eligible KAST Card payments across:

  • Travel — flights, hotels, transport, car rentals, and more
  • Dining — restaurants, cafés, bars, fast food, and more
  • Shopping — fashion, electronics, beauty, gifts, department stores, and more

Eligibility is based on the merchant category code (MCC) assigned when the transaction is processed. A merchant’s classification may differ from its advertised business type. Qualifying purchases earn 5% cashback, capped at a maximum Campaign reward of USD 100 per person — equivalent to USD 2,000 in eligible Campaign spend — subject to verification, local restrictions, account standing, and these Terms and Conditions.

Whether you are booking a trip, heading out for dinner, or shopping for something new, use your KAST Card during the Campaign Period to make your summer spend count.

2. Reward details

Eligible participants may earn 5% cashback on qualifying KAST Card transactions in eligible Shopping, Dining, and Travel merchant categories during the Campaign Period, capped at a maximum Campaign reward of USD 100 per person.

At the 5% rate, a person reaches the maximum reward after USD 2,000 in eligible Campaign spend. Eligible spend above USD 2,000 will not earn additional cashback under this Campaign.

The USD 100 per-person Campaign cap applies regardless of KAST membership tier. Any lower applicable account or program limit continues to apply.

The Campaign has an internal campaign budget cap of USD 100,000 incremental burn. Rewards are limited and not guaranteed. KAST may monitor Campaign spend and cashback liability during and after the Campaign Period.

3. Eligibility

  • Eligible jurisdictions: Global, subject to local legal, regulatory, product, and availability restrictions. Confirm final jurisdiction availability with Legal before publication.
  • KYC requirement: Participants must have completed all required identity verification and onboarding requirements before the end of the Campaign Period.
  • User segment: Eligible KAST users globally with a valid KAST account in good standing and an eligible KAST Card.
  • Minimum activity: Participants must complete eligible Shopping, Dining, or Travel spend using an eligible KAST Card during the Campaign Period.
  • Account standing: Participants must maintain their KAST account in good standing through the date rewards are distributed.
  • Card requirement: Transactions must be made with an eligible KAST Card and must not be reversed, refunded, disputed, charged back, fraudulent, cash-like, or otherwise ineligible.

4. How to participate

  1. Sign up or log in to the KAST app.
  2. Ensure your KAST account has completed all required identity verification and onboarding requirements.
  3. Use an eligible KAST Card between 00:00 UTC on 13 August 2026 and 23:59 UTC on 30 September 2026.
  4. Spend with merchants categorized under eligible Shopping, Dining, or Travel merchant category codes.
  5. If eligible, receive 5% cashback after the Campaign ends, capped at USD 100 per person — equivalent to USD 2,000 in eligible Campaign spend — and subject to verification, exclusions, and these Terms and Conditions.

Participation is automatic for eligible users who complete qualifying transactions during the Campaign Period, unless KAST separately requires an opt-in in the app, campaign banner, email, or other Campaign communication.

5. Campaign-specific rules

  • Eligible spend is based on the merchant category code (MCC) assigned to the merchant at the time the transaction is processed.

  • Eligible cashback rate is 5% on qualifying spend during the Campaign Period.
  • Campaign cashback is capped at USD 100 per person, regardless of membership tier.

  • Transactions that are reversed, refunded, disputed, charged back, fraudulent, cash-like, or otherwise ineligible do not count toward this Campaign.
  • KAST may exclude transactions if it reasonably determines that the transaction does not represent genuine eligible spend.
  • KAST may withhold, reverse, or claw back cashback if a transaction is later refunded, reversed, disputed, charged back, found to be fraudulent, or otherwise determined to be ineligible.
  • KAST may disqualify users who abuse, manipulate, or attempt to circumvent Campaign mechanics.
  • Rewards will be credited after the Campaign ends, subject to verification and compliance checks.
  • KAST’s records and determinations regarding eligibility, merchant category classification, qualifying spend, reward calculation, reward distribution, and Campaign abuse are final and binding, subject to applicable law.
