National Bank: How To Use NBC Reward Points On Your Travel?

With the National Bank’s World Elite Mastercard^®, National Bank World Mastercard and National Bank Platinum Mastercard, you earn NBC Rewards points on every purchase (and with their welcome bonus).

You can use these reward points for any travel purchase: flights, train tickets, rental cars, hotels, Airbnb rentals, etc). The same applies to any booking made through a travel agency such as Expedia.

As soon as you have 10,000 points, you can receive a $100 discount on your next travel reservation through the “Voyage à la carte” agency.

Otherwise, with 12,000 points in your account (a $100 value), you can use them for a travel credit. Then in increments of 11,000 points (or $100) when you redeem more than 55,000 points in the same transaction.

To use your National Bank’s World Elite Mastercard^® rewards points, you will need to log in to your NBC Rewards Plan online account. You can click on this link to go directly to this page.

Then select your National Bank credit card.

Then click on “Travel”.

A page will open and you will have to choose how you want to use your NBC Reward Points.

• Book your vacation with your points
• Get your vacation reimbursed

Once on the NBC Rewards À la carte portal, select the “Book your next vacation” option

Then a new window will appear. You can choose the flight or the all-inclusive package you want.

Then at the time of booking, you can choose to apply your NBC Reward Points to reduce the cost of your trip. You must have a minimum of 10,000 points to get $100 off your purchase.

For an all-inclusive package:

For a plane ticket:

You can see that the $200 discount was applied in both cases using 20,000 NBC Rewards points.

If you don’t have enough points to cover the entire cost, you can simply supplement with money.

In addition, you will be able to earn additional NBC Rewards points by going through the “Voyage à la carte” agency.

Once in the “Get your vacation reimbursed” portal, you can calculate the value of your NBC Rewards points for a travel discount and then click on “Redeem”.

The exchange rate is different from the reservations made with the “Voyage à la carte” option.

Eligible purchases are:

• Flights
• Vacation packages
• Car rentals
• Hotel nights
• Cruises
• Condominium or cottage bookings for tourism purposes
• Airbnb
• Excursions
• Camping
• And more!

The travel discount will be issued as a statement credit to your credit card account within 72 hours of your NBC Reward Points redemption order.

Here’s an example when I used my points for my tour in Turkey with G Adventures.

The National Bank’s World Elite Mastercard^® has a $150 annual fee (except the first year based on the welcome offer).

Don’t forget that you’ll also benefit from multiple travel credits totalling up to $150 each year, travel and purchase insurance that sets it apart from the competition, and unlimited access to the National Bank Lounge!
