Ways to Benefit: Your Direct Link to Savings
The Amazon.ca Rewards Mastercard is packed with features designed to provide exceptional value, especially for Prime members and frequent online shoppers in Barrie.
- Absolutely No Annual Fee: This is a cornerstone benefit. You get to enjoy all the rewards and features of this card without paying any annual fee, ensuring every dollar in rewards you earn is pure savings.
- Supercharged Rewards for Prime Members (2.5% Back): If you’re an Amazon Prime member, this card is a powerhouse. You’ll earn an impressive 2.5% back on all eligible purchases at Amazon.ca and Whole Foods Market stores in Canada.
- Generous Welcome Offer: Kickstart your savings with a fantastic welcome bonus! New cardholders are greeted with an introductory offer to earn 5% back at Amazon.ca, Whole Foods Market, grocery stores, and restaurants for the first 6 months, on up to $3,000 in total eligible purchases.
- No Foreign Transaction Fees for Prime Members: This is a massive, often overlooked perk! Prime members earn 2.5% back on all eligible foreign currency transactions. This reward effectively cancels out the 2.5% foreign transaction fee, making it the perfect card for shopping on international websites or for your travels abroad.
- Great Rewards for Non-Prime Members (1.5% Back): Even without a Prime membership, the card offers excellent value. You’ll still earn a very competitive 1.5% back on all eligible purchases at Amazon.ca and Whole Foods Market.
- 1% Back Everywhere Else: The rewards don’t stop with Amazon. You’ll earn a solid 1% back on all other eligible purchases wherever Mastercard is accepted—from your local coffee shop to your monthly bills.
- Automatic Redemption: Enjoy the ultimate convenience with automatic rewards. Once you accumulate 2,000 points, they are automatically redeemed for a $20 Amazon.ca Gift Card that is loaded directly into your linked Amazon.ca account. No need to log in, track, or manage redemptions!
- Car Rental Discounts: Get on the road for less. As a cardholder, you can save a minimum of 10% on the base rate of qualifying car rentals at participating Avis and Budget locations.
