Users can also receive refunds for all paid purchases, with no minimum spend and no refund limit. Return rates are 1 percent for purchases made in all categories and up to 5 percent on RazerStore and Razer Gold purchases.

The card will feature a gamified rewards system through the Razer Pay app, where users can track, rate, and redeem rewards based on daily tasks and transactions.

The Razer card will be available to 1,337 selected users from October 6 to December 31 through a beta testing program before its official launch, Razer Fintech and Visa said.
