The Gemini Credit Card® just dropped a game-changing holiday promotion: 5% back on all purchases for 12 days only, with a cap of $2,500 in spend. For crypto enthusiasts and rewards optimizers alike, this is one of the best flat-rate offers we've seen this season.
[[ SINGLE_CARD * {"id": "3365", "isExpanded": "true", "bestForCategoryId": "52", "bestForText": "Crypto Users", "headerHint" : "Crypto Rewards" } ]]
The Offer Breakdown
- Dates: November 26 - December 7, 2025 (12 days)
- Rate: 5% back in crypto on everything
- Cap: $2,500 in total spend
- Max Rewards: $125 in crypto rewards
That means whether you're booking holiday travel, buying gifts, or handling everyday expenses, you're earning 5% back. No category restrictions, no rotating calendars to track.
Stack Even More: November Flash Boost is Still Live!
Here's where the real magic happens. Our November Flash Boost runs through November 30th with elevated rates at 20+ merchants and it stacks perfectly on top of the Gemini promotion. After that, you will see our December Flash Boost with even more merchants, so stay tuned!
Travel Rewards Double-Dip:
- Expedia: 8% Kudos Boost + 5% Gemini = 13% total back
- Hotels.com: 8% Kudos Boost + 5% Gemini = 13% total back
- Trip.com: 9% Kudos Boost + 5% Gemini = 14% total back
Holiday Shopping:
- eBay: 5% Kudos Boost + 5% Gemini = 10% total back
- Giftcards.com: 5% Kudos Boost + 5% Gemini = 10% total back
- StubHub: 8% Kudos Boost + 5% Gemini = 13% total back
The key? Just activate your Kudos Boost right before checkout, use your Gemini card for payment, and watch both rewards stack automatically.
Example Scenario: $2,500 Strategic Spend with Double-Dipping
Let's say you have Gemini plus a few other solid cards in your wallet, and you're strategic about timing:
With Gemini's 5% + Kudos Flash Boost (before Nov 30):
- $1,000 holiday travel on Expedia → $50 Gemini crypto + $80 Kudos Boost = $130 total
- $800 on eBay gift shopping → $40 Gemini crypto + $40 Kudos Boost = $80 total
- $500 electronics (non-boost merchant) → $25 Gemini crypto only
- $200 groceries & dining → $10 Gemini crypto only
Total: $125 in crypto + $120 in Kudos Boost = $245 in combined rewards
Without strategic planning: Spreading purchases across different cards without timing for Flash Boost would leave you with just $40-80 in rewards, missing out on $165-205!
Gemini's Year-Round Value Props
Beyond this promo, the Gemini Credit Card remains competitive with:
- 10% back at select merchants (Ridge Wallet, Create, Huron, David Bar, Othership)
- 4% on gas/transit (capped at $300/month)
- Crypto rewards flexibility (choose your cryptocurrency)
- No annual fee
Kudos helps you capitalize on these ongoing perks by recommending Gemini when you're shopping at 10% partners or fueling up.
How to Activate This Strategy
- Add the Gemini Card to your Kudos wallet (if you haven't already)
- Install the Kudos browser extension for automatic recommendations
- Plan your big purchases between Nov 26-30 to stack both Gemini's 5% and Flash Boost
- Activate Kudos Boost right before checkout (and only Kudos. Don't activate other rewards programs, as we might not get commission then, which is what we give 100% of to you in Kudos Boost rewards)
- Continue using Gemini through Dec 7 for the remaining promo days
- Let Kudos track your spend toward the $2,500 cap
- Watch the rewards stack up in both your Gemini and Kudos accounts
The Bottom Line
The Gemini 5% holiday offer is a rare opportunity to earn outsized rewards on everything from travel to groceries to gifts. But the real winners this season are those who stack it with Kudos Flash Boost before November 30th, turning good rewards into exceptional ones.
