In this article, we explain how you can maximize the use of your À la carte points for free travel.
À la carte TravelTM, the exclusive travel agency for National Bank Mastercard cardholders, is the ideal solution for transforming your À la carte points into dream trips while maximizing their value. By redeeming your rewards points, you benefit from a significant advantage: a better redemption rate than if you use your points to reimburse a trip already charged to your card.
Through À la carte TravelTM, you can book a trip with your points (and a cash top-up if required) at this ratio: 10,000 points per $100. What’s more, even if you redeem points for your reservation, you’ll earn bonus points for it!
This method of use also offers better value compared to redeeming your points for merchandise, gift cards, or statement credits! So go ahead and make the most of your points by redeeming them in the most rewarding way possible at À la carte TravelTM when you book your next vacation!
A minimum of 10,000 points is required to redeem points.
Here are the other advantages of booking with À la carte TravelTM:
These advantages make À la carte TravelTM the ideal destination for any cardholder planning their next vacation, whether for a weekend getaway or a long, relaxing break.
