Nóva Card Cashback: Categories and MCC List

Cashback

Cashback balance is displayed at the top of the screen as a gift icon. The maximum cashback limit is 25 EUR per month, but you can withdraw it when you have accumulated at least 5 USDC. This means that if you reach your cashback limit even on the first day, it will not be credited until the beginning of the next month.
 

Each category specifies the MCC codes of stores where cashback is credited. To receive cashback, the store must be on the MCC code list of the selected category. If the store code does not match, cashback will not be credited.
 

The accumulated cashback is shown in BTC or WBT, with the option to change the currency after each cashback withdrawal.
 

You can also block/unblock merchants. You can block a particular merchant. Once blocked, this merchant will not be able to charge funds from your balance. Such canceled transactions will be displayed to the user in the history.
 

Please note: Merchant category codes (MCCs) are four-digit numbers that credit card issuers use to classify individual purchases according to the type of merchant where they were made. The codes serve a variety of purposes, including the calculation and issuance of credit card rewards. Cashback may not be credited if the merchant’s MCC does not match our categories.
 

The amount of cashback % can change dynamically, so you should always check its values in the application.  You can also select 3 active categories. You can pick your cashback categories once every 7 days; upon changing, you will see a corresponding notification. Just keep in mind that changes might take up to 24 hours to show up.

Cashback is not credited for transactions made in territories that are restricted for the use of WhiteBIT services.
