In addition to being the sole credit card provider in Canada that supports Legion activities, MBNA is a proud sponsor of the Legion's National Youth Track and Field competition and National Remembrance Day programs.
It's been said when you find the right relationship, you just know. There is affinity through shared passions and like-minded principles. It’s a feeling our members know well in visiting any one of our more than 1,400 branches across Canada. And it's a bond we seek in choosing to partner with national organizations.
The "right fit" is exactly how the Dominion President describes the long-standing partnership between The Royal Canadian Legion and MBNA, issuer of the Legion MBNA Rewards® Mastercard® credit card. "Both organizations came together with a view to give Legion members another opportunity to support Veterans and our communities," he adds. "And through our credit card program, I believe we accomplished that".
By participating in the credit card program, Legion members can take advantage of an everyday rewards card with no annual fee. Earn 1 point‡ for every $1 in eligible purchases and 2 points‡ for every $1 spent on eligible gas, groceries and restaurant purchases ($5,000 annual cap on each category). Receive 2,500 bonus points†† after your first eligible purchase within the first 90 days of account opening and receive 2,500 bonus points†† once enrolled for e-statements within the first 90 days of account opening. Redeem points‡ for travel, brand-name merchandise, gift cards from participating retailers, cash back, and charitable donations.
Plus they support worthy Legion activities simply by using their credit card to make everyday purchases. Each quarter, MBNA donates proceeds from eligible cardholder purchases to the Legion, which helps support our ongoing Veteran assistance and our advocacy efforts. In over nearly two decades of our affiliation with MBNA, those proceeds total around $1.5 million. It's a symbol of the enormous pride our members have in using the card, and a financial figure that truly helps make a difference.
In addition to being the sole credit card provider in Canada that supports Legion activities, MBNA is a proud sponsor of the Legion's National Youth Track and Field competition and National Remembrance Day programs. "At MBNA we recognize the great sacrifice that Veterans and their families make to keep our country strong and safe," says Dene Johnson, AVP of Affinity & Partnership Management at MBNA. "The work the Legion does to honour and serve these individuals is critically important, and our employees take great pride in being able to support it".
