Effective September 8th, 2025, Uphold will no longer support accounts in Canada. You can find more on Uphold’s withdrawal from Canada here.
Canadian Uphold users must switch to Rewards on Solana by September 8th, 2025 to continue earning with Brave Rewards.
Currently, we are only sending out invites to those who aren’t already connected to Uphold. You can reset Brave Rewards so that you are no longer connected to Uphold, and then wait for an invite.
Note: Even if you reset, your earnings from Ads viewed on your previous profile, up approximately to the time you reset, will still be deposited to your account in the next payout period.
I swear you guys are making this complicated just to screw us out of Rewards. I went to the early access link, I opened my Brave Rewards, there’s no ID to transfer over. There’s really nothing there at all except options to turn off/on ads and sign into Uphold (which I might add I just spent a bloody week verifying my ID on again for no reason now only to be told I’m no longer supported). You go to get an invite and now it wasn’t you to create a new Brave rewards account, which was a PITA to create to begin with, and connect it with an ID I haven’t seen yet. Why don’t you just admit you guys are all screwing over Canadian Brave Rewards users and we can move on. I think it’s easier just to cancel Brave Rewards and maybe Brave altogether at this point.
Hello @ledicarus! Thanks for the candid feedback. This decision was made solely by Uphold. They are removing all accounts in Canada, not just those pertaining to Brave Rewards.

Based on your description above it sounds like you went to brave://rewards and didn’t navigate to brave://rewards-internals. The internals page is where you can find your Rewards ID.
The team on discord are saying that the invite survey was discontinued. I’ve submitted my payment IDs for all my devices to the survey anyway. How long will it take Canadians to be approved to self-custody their BAT?
If we reset Brave Rewards, is the ID submitted yesterday in your form will still be the same ? I subscribed to receive an invite to connect with Solona.
As @ledicarus said, why it has been always so complicated for Canadian users ? You should have let Canadians to use the custody wallet to receive BAT for a while. I never liked Uphold, their fees are crazy.
I followed the instructions in the OP to the letter. Then I read some comments and found out a) there’s some kind of survey I was supposed to fill out, and b) I needed to keep a record of my Brave Rewards ID?
I did neither of those things. Will I still get the rewards I’m due, once I get the Solana invite?
I opened my Solana wallet, how can I accumulate my BAT in this account once Uphold is discontinued? How do I link my Brave rewards to my Solana account like I did before with Uphold?
This discord guys are saying that the survey isn’t being used anymore and that on-chain rewards will be open to everyone “soon”… It has been over 3 weeks since “soon”.
