*Grocery and restaurant: Points earned on grocery and restaurant purchases depend on the total gross monthly amount charged to the credit card account, regardless of category. Earn 5 points per dollar spent on eligible grocery and restaurant purchases. Earn 5 points per dollar on the first $2,500 in gross monthly purchases charged to the account. Beyond that amount, eligible grocery and restaurant expenses earn 2 points per dollar spent. 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. Subscriptions to ready-to-cook services and meal delivery services are eligible. Excluded from this definition are retail stores and big-box stores whose main activity is the sale of non-food products. Some merchants may sell the same or similar products or services as eligible merchants, or are separate merchants located on the same premises as eligible merchants, but are classified by Mastercard in different categories. Purchases made at other merchants only qualify for basic rewards points. An in-restaurant purchase refers to a purchase made in a restaurant, including fast-food restaurants, bars, discotheques, nightclubs and taverns.

Gas and Electric Vehicle Charging: To earn 2 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. Some merchants may sell the same or similar products or services as eligible merchants, or are separate merchants located on the same premises as eligible merchants, but are classified by Mastercard in different categories. Purchases made at other merchants are eligible for basic rewards points only.

Recurring bill: Recurring bill payments are defined as payments made monthly or regularly that are automatically deducted by the merchant from your National Bank World Elite Mastercard. Not all merchants offer recurring bill payments, and not all recurring payments are considered recurring bill payments. As a result, some payments may not qualify for Accelerated Rewards points.

À la Carte Travel: To earn 2 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.

Other purchases: For example, if you spend $400 monthly on groceries, $200 on gas, $100 on recurring bills and $150 on other purchases, the $850 you spend will generate 2,750 points, broken down as follows: 2,000 points on groceries (since the total gross monthly amount is $850, or less than $2,500), 400 points on gas, 200 points on recurring bills and 150 points on other purchases.

Reimbursement of travel expenses

Clients must submit required documents within the given deadline. Certain conditions may apply. Only the primary cardholder (“Cardholder”) of National Bank World Elite Mastercard whose account is in good standing can request a refund of travel expenses.

Account in good standing” means a credit card account that does not contravene the Credit Card Agreement in any way and on which no restrictions apply.

For example, the annual fees related to the credit card must have been paid in full. The maximum reimbursement of $150 can be claimed from January 1 to December 31 of each year.

Eligible expenses include:

      • airport parking
      • baggage fees
      • seat selection fees
      • access to airport lounges worldwide
      • airline ticket upgrades

The claim must be submitted within 60 days of the purchase date and accompanied by proof of purchase. Travel expenses must be charged to the National Bank World Elite Mastercard credit card account. The maximum reimbursement amount is $150 per account. The refund will be issued within 7 business days following the request approval date and after receiving all required information.

National Bank reserves the right to request additional supporting documents for validation purposes (e.g. invoices). You must keep all receipts and supporting documents for a period of 12 months from the date of your claim. An amount not claimed in a year cannot be carried over to the following year. You can apply online at rewards.nbc.ca or by calling 1-800-341-8083 (toll-free) and an agent will assist you with your travel claim.

Cash back details

The cashback is based on a point-accumulation system. You get 1 point for every $2 you spend using your Allure Mastercard® credit card, providing your account is in good standing. Once a year, in January, you will receive a $10 cashback for every 1,000 points earned. Your account is in good standing when you meet the obligations of your credit card agreement (for example, making the minimum payment by the due date). Interest charges, annual fees, balance transfers, cash advances, service charges, insurance premiums, Mastercard promotional cheques and refunded purchase amounts are not eligible for point accumulation. For details, see the Terms and conditions [PDF] [PDF].

Discount on gift cards

The 10% discount on gift cards applies to the total amount of the purchase on yourallure.ca. Gift cards are redeemable at participating Allure partners: Amerispa, Banana Republic, Gap, Old Navy and Winners/HomeSense/Marshalls. Choice of gift card amounts: $25, $50 or $100 (subject to partner availability). No discount will be given in store upon presentation of the Allure card. Gift cards cannot be replaced in the event of damage, loss or theft. The list of Allure partners is subject to change without notice. Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic gift cards can be used at all Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic stores in North America. Gift cards are redeemable for in-store merchandise only. For questions about Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic gift cards, call 1 800 GAP-STYLE, 1 800 OLD-NAVY and 1 888 BR-STYLE respectively.
