Pay for Bird Rides with Crypto

Bird's standard rider flow is to open the app, find a vehicle, scan the QR code or enter the vehicle ID, and tap Unlock. Keeping SolCard saved on your account matches that fast in-app process because Bird charges the payment method already on file.

Bird says some cities bill each ride directly to your default payment method, while others require a Balance Auto Update Plan that adds ride credits to your account. SolCard works in either setup, whether Bird charges the card after each trip or uses it to refill credits.

Bird explains that the final receipt can include an unlock fee, per-minute fee, taxes, and compliance fees depending on the market. SolCard can fund the full amount Bird calculates instead of only a simple base fare.

Bird sells prepaid Bird+ and Ride Pass products in select markets, and subscription versions auto-renew unless you cancel in the app. Bird's terms say these purchases are billed as separate transactions to your preferred payment method rather than deducted from Bird Wallet.

Bird says Bird+ and Ride Pass are only offered in select markets and can only be used in the country where they were purchased. Bird also notes that account balance in one currency does not translate to another, so your saved payment method may matter when you ride in a different currency market.

Before a ride begins, Bird may place a temporary authorization hold, and support says any refunded difference can take up to 14 days depending on your bank. If you preload funds, remaining account balance refunds must be requested within 60 days, while bonus balance is non-refundable.
