10/10
Launch of the World Mastercard Tangerine
To the point Here’s everything you need to know about one of the best no-fee credit cards in Canada: The Tangerine Money-Back World Mastercard.

Welcome Offer

Tangerine has been offering the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card for many years. It is also one of Canada’s best no-annual-fee credit cards.

Tangerine also offers another no annual fee credit card, the Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®*. Here is the current welcome offer:

If you have an individual income of $60,000 or a household income of $100,000, you can choose the Tangerine Money-Back World Mastercard.

This credit card has no annual fee and offers cashback. With this limited-time welcome offer, you get $120 when you spend $1,500 in the first 3 months.

You can choose up to three spending categories that interest you (groceries, gas, home furnishings, home improvement, recurring bills, pharmacy, etc.) to earn 2% cash back! And there’s no annual cash back limit.

In addition, the Tangerine Money-Back World Mastercard comes with several insurance coverages for your purchases and travel:

  • 90 days purchase insurance
  • One year extended warranty
  • Mobile Device Insurance
  • Rental Car Collision/Loss Damage Insurance

Finally, during the first 30 days you hold the card, transfer credit card balances and pay only 1.95% interest on these balances for the first 6 months.

A Credit Card with No Annual Fee

There are no annual fees. So it’s a card to keep from year to year to improve your credit report (on the historical aspect).

The Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®* is a card we highly recommend, alongside the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card.

Personalized Cash Cack Categories

With both Tangerine credit cards, you earn 2% money back on everyday purchases in up to 3 categories of your choice. They are the only ones in Canada to offer this choice!

So it’s not limited, like most other cash back cards, to categories such as gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies, etc. So you could ask to earn 2% cash back on purchases at stores where you shop the most!

Here are the 13 available categories:

As a cardholder, you automatically have the right to choose 2 categories.

If you’re already a Tangerine Bank client and choose to have your cash back deposited into your Tangerine Savings Account, you can select a third category! If you’re not a client yet, consider signing up; it’s free, and you could earn a welcome bonus as we explain here!

You can regularly change the types of shops where you get a 2% cash back, matching your consumption habits! It can be useful for travel (hotels), shopping for a new home (furniture, renovations) or drugstore purchases!

In other categories, you’ll get 0.5% cash back.

Cash Back Payout

The cash back is deposited monthly on your credit card balance.

There is no annual limit to how much cash back you can keep earning at the 2% rate.

Insurance

Another highlight of the Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®* is its purchase insurance.

It offers:

  • Purchase protection (for 90 days)
  • One-year extended warranty

And that applies to your purchases made anywhere in the world with your card.

The Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®* also offers other insurance coverages:

  • Collision/rental car damage insurance
  • Mobile Device Insurance

Rental Car Collision/Loss Damage Insurance

The rental car collision/damage insurance provided by the Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®* is very valuable, as it allows you to avoid paying for this insurance with the rental company. A savings of $20-25 per rental day!

This insurance applies to car rentals for up to 31 consecutive days.

Mobile Device Insurance

Mobile device insurance is also a great benefit offered by the Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®*. This provides coverage for new phones, smartphones, or tablets in case of:

  • Lost
  • Stolen
  • Accidentally damaged
  • Experienced mechanical failure

This coverage is for a maximum amount of $1,000.

Access to the Mastercard Airport Experiences program, provided by LoungeKey

With the Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®*, you can access the Mastercard Airport Experiences program provided by LoungeKey. You can present your Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®* at the entrance of an airport lounge to gain access.

However, each access will be charged at a cost of USD 32 per visit.

If you want complimentary access to airport lounges, we recommend reading this strategy.

Bottom Line

The Tangerine® Money-Back World Mastercard®* is for you if you are looking for a credit card:

  • No annual fee
  • Offering cash back in one of the 13 categories you choose
  • With insurance coverage for your car rentals or mobile device purchases

This card requires a personal income of $60,000 or a household income of $100,000.

If you don’t meet this income requirement, we recommend applying for the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card, which offers the same ability to choose your cash back categories!
