Cost & Returns

On $500/mo spend, the estimated monthly cost breakdown for Onboard Flex Card is: gas $0.50, conversion spread $6.25, flat transaction fees $0.00, and amortised card/tier fee $0.00, for a total drag of 1.4% of spend. After $0.00/mo cashback that is still a net cost of about $6.75/mo ($81.00/yr). Because Onboard Flex Card is loaded on-chain, frequent small top-ups add gas cost: a daily-spender profile pays about $10.00/mo in gas versus $0.50/mo for a single monthly load, so total drag runs 3.3% with daily reloads versus 1.4% with a monthly reload.
