Unique benefits of the NBC World Elite Mastercard

$250 refund on travel expenses per calendar year

With the Smart Traveller program, each calendar year, as a cardholder of the National Bank’s World Elite Mastercard^®, you can get a refund of up to $250 on selected travel expenses.

Airport parking: $100
Baggage fees: $100
Seat selection: $50

This is a great perk for those who use an airport parking lot (note that Park & Fly also works with this benefit) or who have to pay baggage or seat selection fees.

However, if you don’t use your 2021 credits, they will be lost. Follow our tutorial to use your travel credits.
