First, you need to earn points! The National Bank World Elite Mastercard offers promotions during certain periods. Seize this opportunity when it arises, but even when it doesn’t offer a welcome bonus, this card is extremely worthwhile!
Flexibility is the main advantage of the NBC Rewards program. You can use your points to redeem for almost any travel expense you book:
Simply make your travel purchase with your credit card, then apply your points for reimbursement via your National Bank online portal. Follow the steps in our tutorial on How to Use NBC Rewards Points on Your Travels?
The À la carte Travel portal also lets you book flights or vacation packages using your NBC Rewards points. You can make the most of your points: 10,000 points per $10. Discover how to Maximize Your Points with À la carte Travel:
Before taking your flight out of the country, enjoy a moment of relaxation at the National Bank Lounge located in the international zone of Montreal-Trudeau Airport. As a cardholder, you get free and priority access to this exclusive space where you can:
This privilege, which would normally cost around thirty dollars per visit per person, is included with your card. Each National Bank World Elite Mastercard holder has complimentary access to the lounge with one guest and two children aged 12 or under.
Since my children are over 12, my spouse has an additional card on my account. This way I can enter with one of my teenagers (my free guest) and my spouse enters with our other teenager (their free guest). The additional card costs $50, but it’s well worth it when you’re a family of four! It allows me to earn additional points and to fill my big kids’ bottomless stomachs in the lounge before we catch our flight.
Priority access is also a major asset during peak periods at YUL. With lounges regularly reaching their maximum capacity, this advantage helps avoid many disappointments.
The National Bank World Elite Mastercard includes one of the best travel insurance packages in the industry, covering trips up to a maximum duration of 60 days (depending on your age group):
These insurances allow you to save money by not having to pay for additional insurance.
One of the major benefits of this card is its $150 Annual Travel Credit. Every year on January 1, the $150 annual travel credit appears in my account. I use it to pay for my Park’N Fly parking at Montreal-Trudeau international airport.
I return to Montreal, pay for parking with my National Bank World Elite Mastercard, and simply pick up my vehicle to head back home.
A few days later, I go into my National Bank online account and reimburse the cost of my airport parking with my annual travel credit. That’s one less thing to pay!
It can also be used to reimburse the cost of choosing a better seat on the plane, baggage fees, ticket upgrades to a higher class and entry to airport lounges around the world.
