Our Take
The National Bank Allure Mastercard is perfect for those looking to support a charitable cause while earning cash back on everyday purchases. The ability to contribute to the Quebec Breast Cancer Foundation with each transaction makes it a feel-good card for socially conscious users. While the rewards rate isn’t the highest, the lack of an annual fee and discounts on partner gift cards add value, making it a decent choice for no-fee cardholders who want to maximize savings on select purchases.

There are two main elements of a joint credit card:
Please remember that the primary cardholder is responsible for paying any outstanding balances and managing the account. This also means that they’re the ones who will receive any cashback generated by the account. If any disagreements or separations occur, the authorized users and primary cardholder must agree on how to proceed.
The authorized user doesn’t receive a statement and doesn’t have access to transaction details and account information, including the credit card limit. However, both cardholders can enjoy the benefits of their card. They can also change their respective PINs, as well as cancel or replace their cards.
How do I get a joint credit card?
If you’re applying for a new credit card, answer “Yes” to the “Do you need an additional card” question in our application form.
If you’d like an additional card for an existing account, fill out our credit card application or call us at 1-888-622-2783.
Please note that there’s an annual fee for an additional credit card.

1. The cashback is based on a point-accumulation system. You get 1 point for every $2 you spend using your Allure Mastercard® credit card, providing your account is in good standing. Once a year, in January, you will receive a $10 cashback for every 1,000 points earned. The cashback will be paid as a credit applied to your account and cannot be paid in cash. Your account is considered to be in good standing when you fulfill the obligations under your cardholder agreement (e.g., make the minimum payment by the due date). Interest charges, annual fees, balance transfers, cash advances, service charges, insurance premiums, promotional Mastercard cheques and refunded purchases are not eligible for rewards points. For details, see the Terms and conditions [PDF].
2. Grace period:
No interest will be charged on purchases made during the month, provided the client pays the balance in full within twenty-one (21) days of the statement date. This grace period does not apply to cash advances or balance transfers. Minimum payment: If your account balance is lower than $10, you must pay the entire balance. If you reside in the province of Quebec, your minimum payment will correspond to 5% of the credit card account balance plus any overdue payment or $10, whichever amount is higher. If you reside outside of Quebec, your minimum payment represents 2.5% of the credit card account balance plus any overdue payment or $10, whichever amount is higher. Account statement: A statement is sent monthly.
