# RedotPay Pro: is the subscription worth it?

RedotPay Pro is a paid subscription. Short answer: it pays for itself only if you spend at least about **360 to 430 USD a month through Apple Pay or Google Pay**, or withdraw several hundred dollars of cash a month on the yearly plan. If you just want a cheaper card, a [promo code](/en/getting-started/promo-code/) is the better deal.

> **Checked 2 November 2026**
>
> Prices as shown on the card application screen of the app on 1 November 2026. Benefits and rules from the help-centre article "Getting Started with RedotPay Pro" (updated 4 September 2026). RedotPay can change any of this; the app has the final word.

## What Pro costs

| Plan | Price | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | 12.90 USD a month | 12.90 USD |
| Annual | 129 USD a year | 10.75 USD |

The rules around the price:

- Fees are **non-refundable** once paid, and the membership can't be transferred to another account.
- It **renews automatically**. RedotPay tries to charge 48 hours before the membership ends, with reminders 7 days and 48 hours before. If your balance is too low it tries once more; if that fails too, auto-renewal switches off and the account becomes a regular account when the membership expires.
- To stop renewing: on the RedotPay Pro page tap **…** → **Manage membership** → **Auto-renewal**. You keep the benefits until the current period ends.
- You can move from monthly to annual at any time.
- The membership is tied to your account, not to a card or a phone. Replacing, freezing or losing a card doesn't affect it.

## What each plan includes

<div class="wide-table">

| Benefit | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual card fee waived (10 USD, once per account) | Yes | Not listed |
| Physical card fee waived (100 USD, once; the voucher never expires) | No | Yes |
| 3% cashback on Apple Pay and Google Pay payments, up to 18 USDs a month | Yes | Yes |
| RedotPay's ATM fees waived on the first 1,000 USD withdrawn each billing month | No | Yes |
| +1% APY on RedotPay Earn, on the first 1,000,000 USD, where Earn is available | No | Yes |

</div>

The help centre lists the virtual-card waiver under the monthly plan only. It doesn't say whether an annual member also gets a free [virtual card](/en/cards/virtual-vs-physical/).

## The cashback, in detail

- **Only wallet payments qualify.** Paying with the card number on a website, in a shop with the [physical card](/en/cards/physical-card/), or at an ATM earns nothing. See how to [add the card to Apple Pay or Google Pay](/en/cards/mobile-wallets/).
- **The cap is 18 USDs a month**, which you reach at 600 USD of eligible spending. Above that the rate is 0%.
- **USDs are not dollars you can take out.** They can only be used for card payments; not withdrawn, not transferred, not used to buy a card. They **expire 30 days** after they're issued.
- **Refunds take the cashback back**, immediately and in full. If your USDs don't cover it, RedotPay deducts the difference from your other assets. Disputed payments are treated the same way.
- **Round-tripping is watched.** RedotPay says frequent small "cycle" payments can get the rewards, or the account, suspended.
- It **stacks** with RedotPay's other card promotions.
- Cashback already earned survives the end of the membership until its own 30-day expiry, and a purchase made while you were a member is still paid out if it clears afterwards.

## Break-even: how much you need to spend

The cashback is 3% of eligible spending, capped at 18 USDs. Set that against the subscription:

| Apple Pay or Google Pay spend per month | Cashback | Monthly plan, net | Annual plan, net |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 USD | 3 USD | −9.90 USD | −7.75 USD |
| 200 USD | 6 USD | −6.90 USD | −4.75 USD |
| 300 USD | 9 USD | −3.90 USD | −1.75 USD |
| 360 USD | 10.80 USD | −2.10 USD | about 0 |
| 430 USD | 12.90 USD | 0 | +2.15 USD |
| 600 USD or more | 18 USD (the cap) | +5.10 USD | +7.25 USD |

So:

- **Monthly plan**: break-even at 430 USD a month; the most you can ever come out ahead is 5.10 USD a month.
- **Annual plan**: break-even at about 360 USD a month; the most is 7.25 USD a month, 87 USD a year, and only if you hit the cap every single month.

"Net" assumes you spend every USDs within 30 days, which needs continued card spending, and that no purchase is refunded.

### The ATM waiver changes the maths for cash users

On a USD card, RedotPay's ATM fee is 2% (see [ATM withdrawals](/en/cards/atm-withdrawals/)). The annual plan waives that fee on the first 1,000 USD withdrawn each billing month, at any ATM worldwide. That's worth up to **20 USD a month, 240 USD a year**, more than the subscription, if you really withdraw 1,000 USD every month. Withdrawals of about 540 USD a month cover the 129 USD on their own.

Two limits: the ATM operator's own fee is never waived, and the article only speaks of "fees charged by RedotPay" for the withdrawal; it doesn't say whether the 1.2% other-currency fee and the 1% crypto conversion are inside the waiver. Count on 2% only.

### The card-fee waiver versus a promo code

Our [promo codes](/en/getting-started/promo-code/) take 20% off: the virtual card costs 8 USD instead of 10, the physical card 80 USD instead of 100.

| You want | Promo code | Pro | Pro is ahead when |
|---|---|---|---|
| A virtual card | 8 USD, done | 12.90 USD for one month, card free | you spend about 165 USD or more through Apple Pay or Google Pay in that month |
| A physical card | 80 USD, done | 129 USD for a year, card free | the extra 49 USD comes back: about 140 USD a month of wallet spending, or 200 USD a month of ATM withdrawals, over the year |

We haven't tested whether a promo code can be entered on the same application as a Pro subscription. The waiver is described as one-time; RedotPay doesn't say what happens to a card paid for by the waiver if you cancel the monthly plan after the first month.

## What RedotPay doesn't publish

- Whether annual members also get the virtual-card waiver.
- Whether the 1.2% and 1% fees on an ATM withdrawal are waived with the 2%.
- Whether the free physical card still carries the DHL Express delivery charge (standard mail is free anyway).
- Which countries can subscribe, and in which ones Earn exists for the +1%.
- Whether spending USDs on a card payment is free of the 1% conversion fee.
- Any fee for Pro beyond the subscription itself.

## Who it's for

- **Worth it**: you already pay 400 USD or more a month through Apple Pay or Google Pay, or you withdraw 500 USD or more of cash a month and would take the annual plan.
- **Not worth it**: you pay mostly by typing the card number into websites, your wallet spending is under 300 USD a month, or you want a card for occasional use. Use a promo code and keep the 12.90 USD.
- **In between**: try one month of the monthly plan, check the savings on the RedotPay Pro page, and turn off auto-renewal before the 48-hour charge if the number disappoints.
