Ratehub’s review

Natasha Macmillan

While the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card is a no annual fee card, what really sets it apart is the ability to customize your rewards. With this card, you can choose your own bonus categories (which will earn you a strong cash back rate of 2% per dollar spent). This is rare in the credit card market and means you can avoid being locked into a bonus category that you can’t take full advantage of, or that doesn’t align with your spending habits. 

Pros

  • Customizable bonus categories: Flexibility to pick up to three bonus categories to earn 2% cash back on (out of a total of 13 options), which is in sharp contrast to most other cards where you have fixed bonus categories that you have no control over. Users are also given the freedom to change the bonus categories at any time (changes will take up to 90 days to come into effect)
  • High cash back earning rate: 2% cash back per dollar on bonus categories is one of the richest earn rates for a no-fee card, plus your rewards are unlimited and don’t have monthly or annual maximums
  • Wide acceptance: Widely accepted almost everywhere including No Frills and Costco 
  • Additional cards at no cost: Free supplementary cards for authorized users
  • Frequent cash back reimbursement: Cash back is refunded on a monthly basis, instead of the standard annual reimbursement

Cons

  • Limited cash back for non-bonus categories: For all purchases that aren’t categorized under one of your chosen bonus categories, you’ll earn just 0.5% cash back
  • Limited travel insurance and perks: No travel medical insurance or any substantial side perks
