6. The amount of points earned on grocery and restaurant purchases
depends on the total gross monthly amount charged to the credit card
account, regardless of the purchase category. You will earn 5 points
for every dollar in eligible grocery and restaurant purchases until a
total of $2,500 in gross monthly purchases is charged to the account.
After that, you will earn 2 points per dollar in eligible grocery and
restaurant purchases. The total gross monthly amount is calculated
based on your monthly billing period. Grocery purchases include any
purchase made at a store that primarily sells food, i.e., grocery
store, delicatessen, supermarket, greengrocer or specialty food store.
Ready-to-eat meal services and meal delivery services are eligible.
This definition excludes purchases made at retail stores and big box
stores whose core business is the sale of non-food items. Certain
merchants may sell products and services that appear identical or
similar to those sold by eligible merchants, or may be separate
merchants located on the same premises as eligible merchants, but are
classified in different categories by Mastercard. For purchases at
other merchants, you will only earn regular rewards points. Restaurant
purchases include purchases at a restaurant, fast food restaurant,
bar, nightclub or pub. For a full list of Mastercard codes associated
with eligible merchants, download the terms and conditions of the À la carte
Rewards Plan®.
