KAST is currently running a 0% FX credit-back campaign for cardholders. If you live in an eligible region and spend abroad with a KAST card during the window, you get the benefit. The campaign runs from June 1 to August 31, 2026, so there is still plenty of time to join.

Strategy and Precautions
If you're short on time, just issue the card and make one overseas payment during the window to qualify for the FX credit-back.
The larger your spend, the larger the reward, but there's no benefit outside eligible regions, so check first.
Watch for Sybil (multi-account detection) risk: issuing multiple cards under one identity or using your own referral link on yourself can get rewards voided as a rule violation.
Expect congestion in applications and card issuance right before the August 31 deadline. It's safer to act with time to spare.
Cases where you shouldn't bother: if you don't live in an eligible region, or only plan small payments, the return won't be worth the effort. It's also fine to skip if you're uncomfortable with KYC (identity verification).
FAQ
Q1: Can I still join in time? A: The campaign runs through August 31, 2026, so at the time of writing it's still open. Avoid joining right at the deadline.
Q2: How much money do I need? A: The card issuance fee and screening criteria are not disclosed. The cashback amount depends on how much you spend.
Q3: How do I check if I'm eligible by region? A: Check the eligibility conditions by region on the official card application page.
Conclusion
My suggestion is to first check the official site to see if your region qualifies. When I checked, the regional eligibility info was only in English, so I had to translate it myself to confirm.
