Flight schedule changes: your rights and compensation

^†Terms and conditions apply.

*Conditions apply. Rates, fees and other information are effective as of January 3, 2025. Subject to change.

*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.
