La carte est à faible taux d’intérêt, mais ce n’est pas le meilleur taux que j’ai vu qui était disponible. Par contre, le taux n’augmente pas après 6 mois, c’est un bon point.

Applied two to three times via email and once mailing in information. Sent a letter back to me but was not clear on what I needed to complete. So please respond as I like to apply for a card
Mélissa Bouchard
It is useful to have a lower rate credit card rather then one that is giving points but has a super high interest rate.

- ^In order to benefit from the 0.99% introductory interest rate on cash advances for 10 months, your application must be received by the date indicated on this page and approved by us. The introductory interest rate offer is applicable to all cash advances (i.e. cash withdrawals from a bank branch or ATM with your RBC Royal Bank credit card, balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set-up with a merchant). All other account activities, including purchases, are subject to the standard account annual interest rate(s) as shown in the Information Box. Interest is charged from the day the cash advance is made, until we receive your payment for the total amount you owe. The introductory interest rate on cash advances remains in effect through the first 10 full monthly statement periods (approximately 10 months from account open date). The Interest Rate Chart on your monthly statement will indicate the date on which the introductory interest rate expires, as long as you have a remaining balance associated with your introductory interest rate. If we do not process statements on the expiry date (for example, if it falls on a holiday or weekend), you will continue to benefit from that introductory interest rate until your statement is prepared, the next processing day. Once the offer expires: (i) all cash advances; and (ii) any remaining balances, which were subject to the introductory interest rate under this offer, will be subject to the cash advances interest rate indicated on your monthly statement. In general, if your credit card account consists of balances with different interest rates, such as purchases at the standard interest rate and cash advances at an introductory or promotional interest rate (e.g. a special lower rate balance transfer, or a temporary lower rate on all cash advances), any payment that exceeds the minimum payment due will be allocated to those balances in a proportionate manner. Your payment will not be applied to the balance(s) of your choice, such as the balance(s) with the highest interest rate, or to any category of balance(s) following a specific order. For example, if your purchases balance at the standard interest rate is $800 and you have a cash advances balance of $200 at one promotional interest rate, proportionate allocation means that 80% of your payment will be allocated to your purchases balance and 20% will be allocated to your cash advances balance. If you miss making any minimum payment by the payment due date and if you have not paid it before the date we prepare your next monthly statement, and/or if you change your actual RBC Royal Bank credit card for another type of card before the expiration of the offer, you will lose the benefit of this and any other introductory or promotional interest rate offer(s) in which you are participating and any remaining balance(s) which were subject to the introductory or other promotional annual interest rate under an offer(s) will be subject to the annual interest rate(s) indicated on your monthly statement, beginning on the first day of the third statement period after the missed payment. Cash advances do not qualify for Avion® points, partner rewards or cash back credits if your credit card is a type that earns rewards. Balance transfers cannot be used to pay any RBC Royal Bank credit card account or used for pre-authorized payments. Please call customer service at 1-800 ROYAL 1-2 (1-800-769-2512) for up to date information on your credit card account. Your RBC Royal Bank Credit Card Agreement explains the terms under which you use your RBC Royal Bank credit card. Please refer to it for full details.
