Eligible net purchases in an open account in good standing. Exclude cash advances, interest, fees, balance transfers, payments and Convenience Cheques. Eligible restaurant/bar/caterer/fast-food MCCs, grocery, gas and drugstore classifications and merchant automatic recurring payments only. Assign overlapping eligible purchases once to the higher category subject to its limit; allocations must be disjoint. EV charging is not verified as gas. Quebec residents are ineligible.

Tangerine Money-Back Mastercard

Annual estimate assumptions for Tangerine Money-Back Mastercard

Ongoing rewards use one complete reward/reset cycle with an even spending mix. Year 1, when available, uses the separate offer qualifications below; this does not estimate year-to-date or remaining allowance. Blank means unknown; enter 0 for none. Each amount is part of its parent spending.

Net purchases exclude advances, cash-like transactions, interest, fees, insurance premiums and adjustments. Merchant MCC/recurring classification controls eligibility; account must remain in good standing. Cash rewards are unavailable until posted; no withdrawals to unrelated accounts.

Selected cashback categories

Select two categories for card-account credit or three for payout to your own eligible Tangerine Savings Account. Selections and destination must remain effective throughout the modeled year. Changes can be subject to the 90-day hold. Use disjoint allocations; foreign and merchant eligibility never stack.

Payout destination Drug stores Eating places E-games Entertainment Fitness and sports clubs Furniture Gas Grocery Home improvements Hotels and motels Public transportation and parking Recurring bill payments Foreign currency purchasesThese selections and this payout destination remain the same throughout the modeled rewards year

Monthly limits reset separately in each calendar month or statement cycle, as specified in the earning rules. Unused allowances do not roll over. This estimate uses the same entered spending in each cycle.

This explicitly sets this card’s allocations to $0; your category spending still earns the reviewed base rate.
