Little details that matter
*Promotion valid from September 20, 2021, to December 20, 2021, for National Bank Platinum, World, World Elite® and Platinum Mastercard® Business credit cards. To take advantage of this offer, you must sign up for an eligible National Bank credit card by December 20, 2021. Credit card issued subject to credit approval by National Bank. Some conditions apply.
Savings on annual fees for the first year:
The annual fees for the card will be refunded for the first year (for the primary cardholder). It will appear as a charge and credit on the second or third statement after your account is opened. To receive the annual fee refund for the first year, you must make your first purchase on the account within the first 45 days of opening the account.
Bonus rewards points:
The bonus rewards points under this promotion will be credited to the credit card account in a single payment no later than the 5th statement following the account opening:
Platinum, World, or World Elite Mastercard: get 15,000 rewards points if $3,000 in net purchases or more are charged to the credit card account within the first three months following enrollment.
Platinum Business Mastercard: get 15,000 rewards points if $5,000 in net purchases or more are charged to the credit card account within the first three months following enrollment.
The account must be in good standing at the time the annual fees are refunded, and bonus rewards points are applied.
The net purchases charged to your card are calculated over a period of three months, starting at account opening. For example, if the account is opened October 15,2021, the account holder will have until January 15, 2022, to charge the required amount in purchases to the account and obtain the bonus rewards points.
Net purchases refer to the amount in purchases charged to the account less returns and refunds. Annual fees, balance transfers, cash advances (including transactions that can be converted directly to cash, such as money orders, traveller's cheques and gambling transactions), interest charges and any other fees and adjustments are not considered purchases and are therefore not included in the calculation.
