Why do I need to link a card to Integrated Rewards?

Integrated Rewards uses auto-validation to identify when you've made a qualifying purchase at a participating retailer with a linked card. This allows you to shop in-store or online with any of your debit or credit cards from our 17 Canadian bank partners to automatically earn cashback on your purchases.

How do I link my credit and debit cards to Integrated Rewards?

If you already have an account with one of our partners, you can securely link a card using your online banking credentials.

Why do my cards unlink?

Re-linking may be necessary due to your bank's security protocols to keep your information safe. Check your account connection weekly in your account settings.

Here other common reasons why unlinking happens:  

1. When logging into your secure online banking, you may be asked a security question. These will typically expire after one session, often when you exit the app or browser. When sessions expire, this causes unlinking and prompts you to relink.  

2. There may be a Two-Factor Authentication prompt on the bank's app or website that you have to respond to.  

3. Your cards have been replaced and are no longer up-to-date.

Can I link multiple cards from different financial institutions?

Yes, there is no limit to how many financial institutions as you can link to Integrated Rewards.

How do I know what cards are linked from my financial institution?

When you link your financial institution account to Integrated Rewards, you are effectively linking all of the cards associated with that account.

I have a joint bank account. Will I receive money on each of the cards attached to my account?

When you link your financial institution account to Integrated Rewards, you are effectively linking all of the cards associated with that account, including any sister cards.
