The eligible airline merchant list is the list currently in effect and may change.

Airline cashback applies to flight purchases made directly on the airline's website or app. To make sure your purchase qualifies, we recommend always booking directly with the airline rather than through a third-party booking platform.

Airline cashback is calculated at the point your transaction settles or is captured, not when it is authorised.

It is paid in XPL to your XPL balance. Once your monthly cap is reached, base cashback rates apply to airline spend for the remainder of the month. The cap resets at the start of each calendar month.

Cashback is currently paid out weekly (currently on Thursdays). Rewards may remain pending for several days after a transaction posts and vest only at the end of the pending period. Payout timing may change.
