Fact Checked
Fact Checked
Accuracy is important to us so this article has gone through a thorough 3-stage review process and fact-checked by our team.

What’s better than earning rewards? Supporting a great cause while earning rewards and getting discounts, of course!

And the National Bank Allure Mastercard does exactly that.

Despite having no annual fee, this card will give you 1 point per $2 spent – with no limits and no caps.

Every 1,000 points you earn will give you $10 in statement credits every January.

So, by charging $1,000 a month on your card, you'll get up to $60 in cash back rewards every year.

The points you earn can also be redeemed through the À la carte Travel program at the same rate – 1 point = 1 cent.

Plus, you can earn a bonus point for every $2 you spend on flights and vacation packages through À la carte.

Support the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation with every purchase

The best part about having this card in your wallet is knowing that, each time you use it, you're supporting the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation.

Plus, by showing off your pink ribbon-branded card, you're showing off your support in the fight against breast cancer.

A few other benefits

With the Allure card, you can also look forward to some insurance coverage on your purchases.

You'll get double the manufacturer's warranty and 90 days of purchase protection. For a no fee card, that's pretty good.

Even more than that, this card will give you 10%-15% discounts on gift cards purchases through yourallure.ca.

Some of the gift cards you can purchase include:

  • Amerispa,
  • Banana Republic,
  • Gap,
  • Old Navy, and
  • Winners.

In a nutshell

If the Breast Cancer Foundation is close to your heart and you enjoy earning cash back on all your purchases, as well as getting discounts on gift cards, this card is a no brainer.

Key benefits

  • Support the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation with every purchase.
  • Earn 1 point for every $2 spent for cash back.
  • Earn 1 bonus point for every $2 spent on flights and vacation packages through À la carte travel.
  • 10% discount on Allure partner’s gift cards.
  • Purchase protection and extended warranty.
  • No annual fee.
