3. Balance transfers and cash advances are subject to credit approval by National Bank. Each balance transfer must be at least $250.
4. This coverage applies to purchases and rentals charged in part to
the card, except out-of-province medical/hospital insurance for which
the travel arrangements need not be charged to the card, and lost or
delayed luggage insurance where all transportation costs must be
charged to the card. This coverage applies to the primary cardholder,
their spouse and/or dependent children when they (spouse and/or
dependent children) travel with the primary cardholder. Extended
warranty coverage applies to most new items purchased with the card,
in Canada or abroad, as long as the manufacturer's warranty is valid
in Canada. Certain conditions and restrictions apply. For more
information and for details of your insurance coverage, please consult
the insurance certificate associated with your
card.
5. Certain conditions apply. Visit mastercard.ca for more information. Refer to the credit card terms and conditions.
6. Subject to credit approval by National Bank.
7. 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 2 points for every dollar in eligible grocery and restaurant purchases until a total of $1,000 in gross monthly purchases is charged to the account. After that, you will earn 1.5 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 speciality 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®.
8. To earn 1.5 points per dollar in purchases, you will need to
purchase gas or an electrical vehicle charge from a service station or
from certain big box stores. 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. For a full list of Mastercard codes associated
with eligible merchants, download the terms and conditions of the À la carte
Rewards Plan®.
9. Recurring bill payments are defined as monthly or regular
payments automatically charged by a merchant to your National Bank
Platinum Mastercard credit card. Not all merchants offer recurring
bill payments, and not all recurring payments are considered recurring
bill payments. Certain payments therefore may not entitle you to earn
more points.
10. To earn 1.5 points per dollar in purchases, you must make your
eligible purchases via the À la carte TravelTM Agency section of
our À la carte RewardsTM site.
11. For example, if each month you charge $400 in groceries, $200 in
gas, $100 in recurring bill payments and $150 in other purchases to
your card, your $850 in purchases will earn you 1,350 points, as
follows: 800 points for grocery purchases (since the total gross
monthly amount is $850, i.e., under $1,000), 300 points for gas
purchases, 150 points for recurring bill payments and 100 points for
other purchases.
12. The device must have been purchased using your National Bank
Platinum Mastercard credit card, or your phone plan must be paid via
recurring payments charged to your National Bank Platinum credit card
starting September 1, 2022. For complete terms and conditions, please
consult the insurance certificate associated with your
card.
