Earning Cash Back
The Tangerine World Mastercard earns cash back for all purchases made on the card:
- 2% cash back on all purchases in up to two categories of your choice (or three categories when you have your cash back rewards deposited to a Tangerine savings account).
- 0.5% cash back on all other purchases.
Cardholders are able to select the categories in which they will receive the elevated 2% cash back. These categories include grocery, furniture, restaurants, hotel/motel, gas, recurring bill payments, drug store, home improvement, entertainment, and public transport/parking purchases.
Cardholders are able to adjust their elevated 2% cash back categories whenever desired, however, it will take one billing cycle for the change to take effect.
Redeeming Cash Back
Money-back rewards that are earned on the Tangerine World Mastercard are paid monthly.
The cash back will be issued either as a statement credit on the credit card account or as a deposit to a Tangerine savings account, depending on the cardholder’s preference.

Is there a category that includes Costco/warehouse stores? P2 wants something that is more of a keeper card for use at Costco. She likes the perks we earn but needs it to be easy, no buying GC’s in order to go shopping.
Last I heard it falls under other, so unfortunately not. Other options:
On its website, the card only gives two categories 2% now
Hi Yuan – you unlock a third 2% category when you have your Rewards deposited automatically into a Tangerine Savings Account.
“Earn 10% back on up to $1,000 in everyday purchases made within your first 2 months ($100 value)”
Is this for all purchases made using this card or is this actually a category? I’m thinking of clearing the welcome bonus for an overdue car maintenance + a laptop, would those get 10%? Thanks.
Hi Kylin,
All purchases are eligible for the welcome bonus. Essentially, you will earn 10% on your first $1,000 in purchases.
Must be a new banking customer, without existing Tangerine bank accounts.
Hi Stan, can you clarify what you mean, or if that is a question?
hi if we had tangerine chequing account before are we eligible for this offer?
Yes I believe so. I dont see anything in the terms for the card regarding not being eligible if holding banking products, only repeat holders of the credit card account.
