Plasma One merchant cashback rules and limits

Merchant cashback looks simple on a timeline. It rarely is. Plasma's Starlink offer is useful precisely because it shows the moving parts.

The payment has to land at the right merchant, during the right dates, under the right program terms. A reseller, marketplace checkout or different billing descriptor can change the result. So can a refund.

Compare cards on base cashback, and count campaigns as a bonus

Use base cashback when comparing cards. Treat merchant campaigns as a bonus if the merchant was already in your budget. Otherwise the campaign is steering your spending, which is a bad way to evaluate a card.
