Hi Ron,

I’d like to clarify that Plutus has been actively delivering innovative financial solutions for nearly a decade. With a dedicated team of 60+ employees and a growing community of over 125,000 customers, we are committed to providing real value to our users.

We take claims like these seriously, as they do not reflect the experience of the vast majority of our customers. If there’s been any misunderstanding or specific concern about your account, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team so we can address it promptly.

PLU can be used in-app for utilities like PlutusGifts, PlutusMiles and PlutusTravel, and starting in 2025, you’ll be able to skip payout fees completely. In January, new reward-level benefits include Free Payouts, Double Rewards & Golden Tickets. Furthermore, Stackable Perks are already live.

If you're not on a reward level, a dynamic fee applies to cover costs, encourage in-app PLU use, and support the platform's long-term success. These fees have existed since inception and were free for an extended period. More details: https://x.com/Plutus_Support/status/1785383378356740436

Hi, We understand that changes to Terms & Conditions can feel overwhelming. However, each update over the last 6 months during the transition—voted on by the community—has been carefully considered with our customers' best interests in mind. As detailed in our whitepaper, these changes are vital for building a stronger ecosystem that can continue delivering exceptional rewards and innovative features.

Additionally, both the industry and Plutus have evolved significantly since 2015. After nearly a decade, it’s crucial to implement important updates to align with regulatory requirements, improve security, and ensure the long-term sustainability of our platform.
We’re committed to transparency and always provide advance notice of changes, giving you ample time to review and understand them.

Each utility (PlutusGifts, PlutusMiles, PlutusTravel, PlutusSwaps) is designed to provide real-world value for your PLU rewards, and we continuously monitor their performance. Since these utilities are still in their MVP stage and rely on third-party partnered services, occasional service interruptions may occur.

Our team is actively working to enhance these features based on customer feedback. If you're experiencing an issue with any utility, please contact customer support with the details so we can investigate and resolve it promptly.

Hi,

The Plutus Card is specifically designed as a spending solution that delivers exceptional rewards for your everyday purchases and does not offer the same services as a bank or a typical debit card.As outlined in our Terms and Conditions, ATM withdrawals and outbound bank transfers from your Plutus account are not permitted.

Your funds remain fully accessible through your Plutus Card for everyday purchases at millions of locations worldwide. This focused approach allows us to offer industry-leading rewards and benefits that traditional banking services typically cannot match. Many of our customers find significant value in maximizing these rewards through their regular spending habits.

Plutus operates on a subscription-based model to power one of the most rewarding tokenised loyalty programs available. Our rewards start at 3% back on everyday spending and can go up to 10% for higher tiers, with access to 50+ top brands for £/€10+ in monthly savings—unmatched value you won’t find anywhere else!

Subscriptions enable us to sustain and expand our unique ecosystem while delivering premium benefits such as higher reward caps, multiple perks, and exclusive in-app features like PlutusSwap, PlutusGift, PlutusMiles, and PlutusTravel.

We’ve designed our subscription tiers to provide exceptional value, catering to different needs. If you're looking for a low-cost entry, our Starter plan allows you to experience Plutus with minimal commitment.

Please Note: Plutus isn’t a bank offering free services—it’s a unique rewards card that boosts your everyday spending. Like any business, from restaurants to services you rely on, paying keeps it running, improving, and delivering better value.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out about the "unexpected error" message you received while using PlutusSwap.

The PlutusSwap service is fully operational and designed to process a wide range of transactions successfully.

If you're experiencing this unexpected error then you may have reached our monthly limit, we recommend to (a) trying a different transaction amount, particularly a smaller value, (b) attempting your transaction at a later date.

These approaches often resolve the issue and allow you to complete your swap successfully.

Note, now that we have completed our transition to a fair-balanced redemptions and emission with a sustainable reward system , we are in the process of improving the PlutusSwap experience further: https://www.plutus.it/help/the-10-emissions-anchor-explained#:~:text=Web3%20Travel%20Deals-,PlutusSwap,-%3A

Hi,

We want to clarify that we have not applied our updated Terms & Conditions retroactively to users' PLU balances. All previously rewarded PLU remains intact and fully available for redemption or payout. Our updates introduce governance over specific PLU features moving forward, ensuring platform integrity. If you have any concerns, our support team is happy to assist.

Hi,

A declined payout can happen for several reasons, such as PLU earned from ineligible transactions (e.g., refunded items) or problems with your account activity. If it’s due to account activity, we recommend reviewing the email instructions provided and actively engaging with our in-app features for 30-days before trying again. Once your account status improves, your PLU Payouts will be approved.

Plutus offers its unique reward services for a low-cost monthly plan starting at just £/€6.99. The fees for additional services help maintain a sustainable rewards ecosystem for all customers.

When considering fees for third-party payouts, remember the exceptional rewards you receive. For just £/€6.99 per month, a 33% payout fee is reasonable, as external use of rewards impacts sustainability. Even with the fee, you still get more value—for example, paying £/€6.99 plus the 33% payout fee can cover your subscription and more when PLU is used for prohibited services. We understand this, which is why a fair fee is charged to shift towards in-app use—protecting customers and creating a more sustainable rewards system for all.

For PlutusGifts, PLU was earned at a $1 rate, with brands offering 0% fees, making each PLU worth £/€10 in-app. With PlutusGifts, swapping $1 rewards for a £10 gift card costing £/€5 or more is an amazing deal. Even after fees, you still pocket £/€5 to £/€2 in savings, offering unbeatable value for rewards earned at a $1 rate.

We apply the same logic to PlutusSwap—since rewards are earned at a $1 rate, bulk swapping for £/€10 emissions rate is not possible. That’s why we have limits and fees, ensuring sustainability while offering unique features like card balance top-ups, a benefit that doesn’t exist elsewhere.

Rest assured, now that the transition is complete and we have achieved fair-balanced emissions and redemptions across all key utilities, the next step is to match these rates on PlutusSwap in Q2.

Please Note: Fees support our ability to provide better features, enhance service quality, and protect sustainability, ensuring long-term value for our customers.

We’re currently experiencing high support volumes, and our team is working diligently to resolve each case as quickly as possible. Due to the volume, many similar inquiries have received grouped responses. However, as the transition ends, we recognise that every customer deserves a personalised response, and we’re carefully addressing each inquiry in the order it was received.

If you have a ticket and haven't received a group response, rest assured that your case has been logged and will be handled by our specialists as soon as possible. For immediate assistance with common questions, our Help Center offers solutions to many frequently asked issues.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work through this busy period to ensure each customer gets the attention they deserve.

Hello there,

Thank you for the feedback.

We would like to address recurring misinformation about Free Payouts or our services. While we understand your disappointment, it is important to distinguish facts:

- Over 2 million PLU has been distributed completely free as a gesture of goodwill and remain live.
- We've also provided customers with 1M+ PLU rewards as a promo-refund for 6-month subscriptions.
- Free Payouts were only given to customers who met clear eligibility criteria at the company’s discretion.
- These criteria and outcomes were communicated transparently via multiple grouped emails.
- All related support tickets have been individually reviewed and responded to in detail.

Please note: Free Payout is optional and not guaranteed. As a business offering services from just £/€6.99 a month, we follow a model similar to other subscription platforms that provide premium features or perks at an additional cost.

For full transparency, please refer to these official resources:

Like many companies, we’ve transitioned to a subscription-only model, which ensures we can provide a premium and high-quality service. While full functionality requires a paid plan, customers can remain in Sleep Mode with full access to their fiat funds and basic features for quite some time before any potential account closures. Rest assured, we’ll notify you well in advance of any potential account closures.

As a financial services provider, we adhere strictly to FCA regulations and work with Modulr, an FCA-regulated entity, to ensure compliance and security. In some cases, access to the account may be temporarily restricted in line with legal or regulatory requirements. If you believe this was done in error, please contact support so we can investigate further.

Hi,

To clarify, PLU payouts were temporarily restricted for a very small number of accounts that significantly breached our Terms & Conditions. These measures were necessary to uphold the fairness and integrity of our rewards programme. However, we’re pleased to confirm that any temporary restrictions on PLU payouts have now been lifted, and you are free to request a payout at your convenience.

We kindly request that moving forward, you adhere to our Terms & Conditions. If you have any questions on this topic, please contact Support and we’ll help guide you.
