Who is the Amazon.ca Rewards Mastercard for?

The Amazon.ca Rewards Mastercard is designed for people who shop often at Amazon.ca and want to earn rewards on those purchases.

Prime members earn the highest reward rates, which can make the card more valuable for them.

To apply, you must be a Canadian resident and have reached the age of majority in your province or territory.

Benefits of the credit card

The Amazon.ca Rewards Mastercard offers several benefits for its target audience:

Rewards on your purchases

After the welcome offer ends, eligible Prime members earn 2.5% back on eligible purchases at Amazon.ca and Whole Foods Market stores in Canada, plus 2.5% back on eligible foreign currency transactions.

Without a Prime membership, you earn 1.5% back at Amazon.ca and Whole Foods and 1% back on foreign currency transactions. All other eligible purchases earn 1% back, everywhere Mastercard is accepted.

Your rewards are earned as points: 100 points are worth $1 when redeemed on Amazon.ca. Points don’t expire while your account is open and in good standing.

No annual fee

The card doesn’t charge an annual fee, so you can use it without a yearly cost.

Accepted worldwide

The card is a Mastercard, so it’s accepted at millions of merchants in Canada and abroad, online and in store.

Higher rewards for Prime members

The main difference for Prime members is the reward rate: 2.5% back at Amazon.ca and Whole Foods, compared with 1.5% for non-Prime cardholders. Prime members also earn 2.5% back on foreign currency transactions, which helps offset the 2.5% foreign transaction fee.

Protection benefits

The card includes Purchase Assurance and Extended Warranty, Trip Assistance (such as lost baggage assistance and lost document and ticket replacement), Mastercard Zero Liability and emergency card replacement. It doesn’t include travel medical insurance.

Insurance coverage is subject to the terms, limits and exclusions in the Certificate of Insurance provided with the card.
