*Grocery and Restaurant: 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 The accumulation of 5 points per dollar of purchase is valid 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.

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. 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.

Recurring Bill: Recurring bill payments are defined as monthly or regular payments automatically charged by a merchant to your National Bank World Elite 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.

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 purchaseFor 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 2,750 points, as follows: 2,000 points for grocery purchases (since the total gross monthly amount is $850, i.e., under $2,500), 400 points for gas purchases, 200 points for recurring bill payments and 150 points for other purchases.

Description of promotion:

New cardholders will get a 8% cashback on purchases in restaurants and eligible recurring pre-authorized payments charged to their National Bank^® mycredit^® Mastercard^® credit card.

Promotion period:

The client must apply for the mycredit Mastercard between June 1^st and August 31, 2021. Eligible purchases must be carried out within 3 months of the date the credit card account is opened.

Promotional cashback limits

New cardholders will get an 8% cashback on purchases in restaurants and eligible recurring pre-authorized payments during the promotion period, up to a maximum of $1,500 in eligible purchases and payments. If this $1,500 maximum is exceeded and after the promotion period, the regular cashback rate of 1% will apply to purchases in restaurants and eligible recurring pre-authorized payments.

Calculating promotional cashbacks

The cashback is calculated on net purchases over a 3-month period, starting on the account opening date. The transaction date used is the date transactions are charged to the account (not the date they are carried out). For example, if the account is opened on June 15, the account holder will have until September 15 to carry out eligible purchases and payments.

Net purchases refer to the amount in purchases and payments charged to the account less returns and refunds. Annual fees, balance transfers, cash advances, cash transactions, interest charges and any other fees and adjustments are not included in the calculation.

How will the cashback be applied to the account?

The cashback earned under this promotion will be applied to the account in two ways, provided the account is in good standing when the cashbacks are awarded:

• Regular cashback: The cashback earned at the cashback program’s regular rate (1%) will be credited monthly to the credit card account, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the program.
• Bonus cashback: The cashback earned at the bonus rate (7%) will be credited to the credit card account in a single instalment at the latest at the 5^th statement following account opening.

Example:

The cashback program’s regular rate for purchases in restaurants and eligible recurring pre-authorized payments is 1%. Under this promotion, clients will earn a bonus 7% cashback on these purchases and payments, for a total 8% cashback until the end of the promotion period. If you charge a total of $1,500 in eligible purchases and payments to the card, the cashback credited to your account will be calculated as follows:

• (1) Regular 1% cashback X $1,500 = $15 credited to your account (applied monthly)
• (2) Bonus 7% cashback X $1,500 = $105 credited to your account in a single instalment at the latest at the 5^th statement following account opening
