Decided to contribute this post since not long ago I was on the other side trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on these card investments. None of this is financial advice, just my personal experience. I apologize in advance for the length of this post, it is intended for people trying to decide on whether to get one, or both, or neither of these cards and there are lots of variables in play. If you have already made up your mind about both of these companies/cards, then you will probably not find this post useful. There is so much FUD currently on both subs, but I have had overall positive experiences with both platforms even though things have been evolving rapidly on both platforms, and do not have any incentive to bash one or the other.

So I have both the CDC Icy/Rose card (physical card) and Swipe Slate card (virtual card, physical card processing), and am located in the US [fyi: Swipe only recently became available in the US]. I have used CDC platform for many more months than Swipe, but have now used both platforms quite a bit and although I just have the Swipe virtual card have used it for several purchases. Also of note, I do not use credit/debit cards to purchase crypto, so I do not have experience with that aspect of these platforms. I obtain USDC fee-free through Coinbase, and then transfer it out.

I am comparing the CDC Icy/Rose card instead of Obsidian because with today's token prices the CDC Icy/Rose card is around $18,500 (250,000 CRO), with CDC recently having increased staking amounts required for card tiers by 150% (previously was 100,000 CRO) - Obsidian is now around $185,000 (2,500,000 CRO).

Here is the comparison and which I think did better with each feature...
