No Annual Fee Credit Cards

For many credit card users an annual fee is out of the question. Paying an annual fee on top of interest payments can really start to add up. Whether you’re looking for a basic no-frills card, or want to earn rewards on your purchases, there are many no annual fee cards to choose from.

  • Look for a rewards card with no annual fee to maximize your rewards potential.
  • Take advantage of introductory rate offers to save even more on your purchases or balance transfers.
  • No annual fee doesn’t mean "no fees at all." Be sure you understand the potential costs of using a credit card.

Cashback details

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].

Credit terms

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.
