Unlock Up to $250 With KAST Cash Bonus Rewards

Your first steps on KAST can now earn extra rewards.

We are introducing Cash Bonus Rewards, a simple way to unlock extra USD rewards as you get started and spend more with your card. Complete the milestones and you can unlock up to $250 in bonus cash on top of your standard cashback, depending on your country setup.

This is built to make your early experience on KAST clearer. Start spending, keep going, and unlock more as you hit each milestone.

What are Cash Bonus Rewards

Cash Bonus Rewards are bonus reward milestones designed to guide your first steps on KAST.

They give you a simple path to follow as you move from setup into real card use. Instead of guessing what to do next, you can work through clear spending milestones and unlock extra rewards along the way.

Cash Bonus Rewards are available across membership tiers in eligible countries where the program is enabled. Reward amounts and availability may vary by country.

How the bonus rewards work

Here is the standard reward path in Full Program countries:

Milestone What you do Bonus reward
1 Spend $100 $20
2 Spend another $500 $30
3 Spend another $1,000 $50
4 Spend another $5,000 $150

That means the full path can add up to $250 in bonus cash.

Another way to think about it is this:

  • spend $100 and unlock $20
  • then spend another $500 and unlock $30
  • then spend another $1,000 and unlock $50
  • then spend another $5,000 and unlock $150

Reward amounts and availability may vary by country and eligibility.

What this means in total

The milestones build on each other.

So once you complete the full path, your total tracked spend across the journey reaches $6,600. In Full Program countries, the total bonus cash reaches $250. In countries using the reduced first-two-milestone setup, the total reaches $225.

That is why the exact amount you see in the app may differ by market.

Why this matters

Cash Bonus Rewards make the first part of your KAST experience easier to follow.

You are not just opening the app and figuring things out alone. You get a clearer sequence of actions tied to rewards. Start using your card, keep going, and unlock extra value as you move through the milestones.

And because these bonus rewards sit on top of your regular cashback, your early activity can become more rewarding right away.

One thing to keep in mind

Cash Bonus Rewards are designed to stay simple, but the exact reward amounts and availability depend on your country setup.

So while the full path can go up to $250, what you see in the app may be lower in some markets, and in some countries the feature may not be enabled at all.

KAST Adds In-App Affiliate Sign-Up and Portal Access

You’ve probably talked about KAST without even thinking about it. Maybe someone asked how you receive USD from abroad. Maybe they were curious how you actually spend stablecoins in daily life.

You can apply to the KAST Affiliate Program directly inside the app.There are no extra logins, no separate platforms to manage, and no added friction. It starts exactly where you already are.Why Apply Inside The App?Most affiliate programs sit outside the product experience. You usually have to search for the right signup page, create a separate login, manually connect your referral code, and then switch between different dashboards just to keep track of everything. It often feels disconnected from the product you’re actually using.With KAST, the process starts inside the app. You simply go to Home → Refer → Become an Affiliate.Because it’s built into your existing account, your email stays aligned, your referral code remains the same, and your identity is already verified. There’s no need to recreate information or manage a separate profile.Keeping everything in one place reduces friction, minimizes back-and-forth during review, and makes the whole process more straightforward.How The Application Process WorksStep 1: Apply From The AppOpen your KAST app and go to:Home → Refer → Become an AffiliateThen:Tap ReferTap Become an Affiliate (top corner)The application form opens in your browser.It’s short and focused.

In practice, that means they talk about real things they do in KAST. For example, they receive USD into their KAST Global USD account, hold stablecoins like USDC, and spend globally with the KAST Card. They also use local payouts to convert funds into local currency when they need to.When your content reflects real usage, referrals feel natural. You are not pushing a product. Instead, you are showing how you use KAST in daily life. People understand the value because they see it in context.The Affiliate Program simply adds tracking and structure to what you already do inside KAST.What It CostsThere is no fee to apply.If approved, commissions and rewards are visible inside the Affiliate Portal.Eligibility criteria, reward structures, and approval timelines may change and are subject to internal review.Quick Checklist Before You ApplyYou actively use KASTYou have an audience (community, social media, newsletter, etc.)You can explain real use cases clearlyYou’re willing to promote responsiblyIf that sounds like you, the process takes just a few minutes.Ready To Apply?Open the KAST app and go to:Home → Refer → Become an AffiliateOr learn more at:https://www.kast.xyz/affiliateStart in the app.Apply in minutes.Track everything in one place.
