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 21 days of the statement date. This grace period does not apply to cash advances or balance transfers. Minimum payment: If the account balance is less than $10, the balance is due in full. If you reside in Quebec, the minimum payment will be equal to 5% of the account balance plus any overdue amount or $10, whichever is higher. If you reside outside of Quebec, the minimum payment will be equal to 2.5% of the account balance plus any overdue amount or $10, whichever is higher. Account statements are sent out monthly.
