1. Cash back is earned on net card purchases (purchases less returns) when your account is open and in good standing and not on cash advances, interest, fees, balance transfers, payments or Convenience Cheques. Cash back is calculated as follows: Earn 4% on the first $5,000 in net annual card purchases on restaurant, bar and coffee shop purchases, which currently include merchants classified as Eating Places and Restaurants; Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages) - Bars, Taverns, Nightclubs, Cocktail Lounges, and Discotheques; Fast Food Restaurants; or Caterers. Earn 1.5% on the first $15,000 in net annual card purchases on gas, grocery and drugstore purchases and pre-authorized payments. Gas, grocery and drugstore purchases currently include merchants classified as Service Stations (with or without Ancillary Services); Automated Fuel Dispensers; Grocery Stores and Supermarkets; Drugs, Drug Proprietaries, and Druggist's Sundries; or Drugstores and Pharmacies. Pre-authorized payments are payments made on a monthly or other regular basis, which are automatically billed by the merchant to your Account. Earn 0.5% on all other net annual card purchases, including those in the categories above when the $5,000 and $15,000 limits are exceeded. If a transaction could fit under more than one cash back category, you will be awarded the cash back of the higher category, subject to the $5,000 and $15,000 limits. Merchants are classified by the credit card network and the network may change the names of classifications or change the classification of merchants at any time. Simplii Financial is not responsible for merchant classification. The $5,000 and $15,000 limits will reset to zero after the day your December statement is issued. Your cash back is applied as an annual credit on the primary cardholder’s January statement. Changes to terms, conditions and eligible merchant categories may occur at any time without notice. We may cancel the cash back program on 60 days’ notice. Credit for returns made on your Account may result in a deduction of cash back at a higher earn rate, even though the return may relate to a purchase that earned cash back at a lower rate.
