See the issuer's source · help.coinbase.comThe Coinbase Card is a Visa prepaid debit card, issued by Pathward N.A., that converts cryptocurrency into local currency at the moment of purchase. Coinbase offers it to customers who live in the United States, except Hawaii, and in the United Kingdom, in both virtual and physical form, and it requires no credit check and no locking up of assets.
Crypto rewards are, in the company's own words, an optional offer available only to Card users in the United States, at a variable rate that has to be checked in the app. It should not be confused with the Coinbase One Card, a credit card on the American Express network reserved for Coinbase One members in the United States: that is the one advertising up to 4% back in bitcoin, not the debit card.
Coinbase charges no fee for spending dollars or pounds, none for paying with cryptocurrency, and nothing of its own at ATMs, although the ATM may charge its own fee. What there is instead is a market spread when the company buys, sells or converts cryptocurrency, a cost that appears as a fee nowhere.
