Does the fee earn out? · how we got this

The C$120 fee minus C$0 in printed credits leaves C$120/yr to earn back through rewards — roughly C$3,000 of groceries spending at 4%. Whether that clears depends on your actual spending.

Who this card is not for

Every point below is a term the issuer prints, read off this card's own row in our database — not an opinion about the card. two things on this card rule out a kind of spender:

  • Anyone who spends abroad. Every purchase in a foreign currency carries a 2.5% foreign transaction fee. On a card earning 1.0¢ per dollar at the base rate, that fee costs more than the rewards on the same purchase.
  • A heavy groceries spender. The 4% on groceries stops after C$25,000 of it per year. Past that the same purchases earn its base 1%, so the headline rate describes the first C$25,000 only.
