Who is affected
These fields carry the card’s last published wording, to help you work out which category your account falls into. They do not mean these conditions are still open to new applicants.
- Application regions
- The former program was available only in some APAC regions. From 2026-08-01, new applications moved to Bitget Wallet; existing cardholders are governed by their card expiry dates and agreements.
- Identity verification
- Bitget Card is linked to an exchange account and its identity verification. The new-application route has moved; check current product eligibility with the provider.
- Funding route
- Visa card spending backed by assets in a Bitget exchange account
- Fee wording
- Existing cards maintain legacy rates; expired cards cannot be renewed and new users must apply via Bitget Wallet.
- Reward wording
- Use the former card’s region and promotion terms; universal rewards for the new application route have not been confirmed.
Bitget officially halted new card applications via the exchange portal as of 2026-08-01; existing cards will not be renewed upon expiration, and operations migrate to Bitget Wallet Card.
Existing cards remain usable until expiration; new applicants should apply directly for Bitget Wallet Card.
The fee and reward fields preserve the card’s last published wording and do not mean those terms still apply. Current availability follows the official sources and verification date listed on the profile.
Comparable replacement cards
Replacement cards come from this site’s card directory, with closed and winding-down products excluded. The same funding route is preferred first, then cards a mainland China reader can apply for.

What to do next
Deadlines the issuer has given
The issuer has not published a deadline that is still in effect.
This site’s general checklist
The following is not an instruction from the issuer. It is this site’s general advice for any card being retired.
- Stop topping up the card or its account, so the balance does not sit with a party that has stopped operating.
- Move the balance back to a wallet or account you control before the service ends; the withdrawal route usually closes before the card itself does.
- Go through every recurring charge tied to this card, especially AI and streaming subscriptions, and move them to the new card before cancelling the old one.
- Keep the shutdown notice, withdrawal records and ticket numbers as evidence for any later claim or appeal.
- Pick a backup card on a different network or from a different issuer, so a single channel failure does not take both down at once.
