Introductory paragraph If you already hold a Nomad account and are looking to turn everyday spending into travel‑ready benefits, the new Nomad Explorer cards deserve a close look. These Visa‑branded products are the fintech’s first credit cards released in Brazil and are designed to let you accumulate points, earn cashback in dollars and enjoy premium perks such as airport lounge access and automatic toll tags. The two models cater to different spending habits, so you can pick the one that aligns best with your budget and travel frequency.
Detalhes da oferta
The Nomad Explorer Visa Platinum is priced at R$45.90 per month and awards a flat 1.5 points for every dollar spent. Cardholders also receive 0.6 % cashback deposited into their Nomad account, and the points remain valid for 24 months. Lounge access is limited to two visits per year for the primary user plus up to three guests at the Nomad Lounge in São Paulo‑Guarulhos (GRU). The annual fee can be waived if the monthly bill reaches R$2,500 or more. In addition, Platinum members receive one free Nomad Tag for tolls and parking and can transfer points to partner programs such as Livelo, Azul Fidelidade and Smiles.
The Nomad Explorer Visa Infinite has no annual fee and a variable earning structure: 1.6 points per dollar on bills under R$3,500, 2.2 points on bills between R$3,500 and R$4,500, and the top rate of 3 points per dollar on bills above R$4,500. Cashback climbs to 1.30 % on the Infinite, and points have no expiration date. Lounge benefits are unlimited for the primary cardholder plus two guests, and the card includes four annual Dragon Pass lounge accesses. Infinite holders receive two complimentary Nomad Tags, 24‑hour concierge service and Fast Pass lanes at GRU and Galeão (GIG) airports. Transfer options and the Visa travel insurance (up to US$175k) are also available.
Regras e requisitos
Eligibility requires a Nomad account, a fixed address and phone number in Brazil or the United States, and age 18 + with a valid CNH, RG or Brazilian passport. The cards are released gradually; interested users must request the Explorer option through the Nomad mobile app and join a waiting list. The Platinum fee waiver applies only when the monthly statement reaches R$2,500. Point accrual on the Infinite is tiered based on the total monthly spend, and the number of free Nomad Tags differs between the two cards. All members can transfer points to Livelo, Azul Fidelidade or Smiles and exchange points for cashback in dollars or conversion‑rate discounts.
Como aproveitar
First, ensure the Nomad app (available on iOS and Android) is updated. Open the app, navigate to the cards section and check if the Explorer option is live. Press the request button and add your name to the waiting list. Keep your Nomad account active and maintain a positive relationship with the platform, as this improves approval odds. New users can also use the referral code PP5 during sign‑up to unlock up to US$40 cashback on their first currency conversion, adding extra value to the card launch.
Vale a pena?
The Infinite model is a strong proposition for high‑spend travelers because it removes the annual fee, offers the highest possible point rate (3 % on bills over R$4,500), provides unlimited lounge access and includes valuable perks such as concierge and Fast Pass. The 1.30 % cashback further enhances the return, especially when converting dollars. The Platinum card can be attractive if you regularly spend near the R$2,500 threshold, as the fee waiver makes the 1.5 % point earning competitive. However, the 24‑month point expiration and limited lounge visits may be drawbacks for occasional users. Overall, the Infinite card delivers the best mix of benefits for frequent flyers, while the Platinum works for those who can meet the waiver condition and prefer a lower point‑earning baseline.
