How do I activate Credit Card Partner Cash back?
- Log in to the Wealthsimple app.
- Go to your Cash Back Hub, or your credit card page.
- Find the partner offer you want.
- Tap to activate it. The offer turns green and shows as activated.
- Shop at that partner, in-store or online (partner dependent), using your Wealthsimple credit card.
You need to activate the offer before making any purchases. No retroactive additional cash back will be provided.
How is my cash back calculated?
Your cash back rate is the partner's total rate shown in the table above, applied to eligible purchases made after activation. For example, activating Sephora's offer means eligible Sephora purchases earn 5% cash back instead of the standard 2%.
When will I receive my cash back?
Your additional cash back is paid out automatically once your purchase settles. You can see it reflected in your activity feed the same day it's applied.
Do I need to do anything to keep earning the additional cash back?
Just keep the offer activated and your account in good standing. There's no minimum spend or hold period to maintain the higher cash back rate.
Can I combine this with other promotions?
Yes. Credit Card Partner Cash back can be combined with other live Wealthsimple offers. Combinability depends on the terms of each individual offer, so check the terms and conditions of any other promotion you're enrolled in to confirm.
Are there tax implications?
There can be tax implications for cash back rewards in some cases. Please consult an accountant or tax professional for guidance specific to your situation. Wealthsimple doesn't issue a tax slip for cash back earned through this offer.
What purchases qualify for the additional cash back?
Eligible purchases made after activation, at a participating partner, in-store or online, using your Wealthsimple credit card. Gift card purchases aren't eligible for the cash back. The usual credit card cash back exclusions still apply, including cash-like transactions, refunds, fees, and adjustments.
I'm on the 1% cash back card. Can I get this additional cash back?
Not at launch. This offer is currently only available to 2% cash back cardholders. We're working with partners to expand eligibility.
Terms and conditions
Wealthsimple Credit Card Partner Cash Back (the "Promotion")
This Promotion is offered by Wealthsimple Payments Inc., issuer of the Wealthsimple Visa Infinite^*, Visa Infinite +*, or Visa Infinite Privilege* credit cards (together with its affiliates, "Wealthsimple").
Promotion Period. From October 1, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. ET until the end dates for each individual partner, as set out in the Partner Offer table below.
Eligibility. To participate in the Promotion, a person must, at the time of offer activation and when each Qualifying Transaction is made:
- hold a Wealthsimple Visa Infinite, Visa Infinite +, or Visa Infinite Privilege credit card on the 2% cash back rate° (the "Credit Card"), in good standing;
- be a legal resident of Canada, including Quebec;
- be the age of majority, or older, in their province or territory of residence;
(the "Client"). 1% cash back credit cardholders are not eligible to participate at this time.
Activation. A Client must activate a specific partner's offer in the Wealthsimple app before making a Qualifying Transaction at that partner. Purchases made before offer activation are not eligible for additional cash back and will only earn the Client's standard cash back rate. Offer activation will not be applied retroactively. Once activated, the additional cash back will remain active for the applicable Promotion Period, unless withdrawn or terminated earlier by Wealthsimple in its sole discretion.
Qualifying Transactions. "Qualifying Transactions" are purchases (excluding cash-like transactions, gift card purchases, refunds, and any applicable fees and adjustments) that: (a) are made with the Credit Card at a partner after the Client has activated that partner's offer and during the Promotion Period; (b) post and settle on the Credit Card account; and (c) are not subsequently refunded, returned, or charged back.
Partner Offer. Each partner's additional cash back rate and applicable Promotion Period are as follows:
| Partner | Additional cash back rate | Total cash back rate (with standard 2% cash back rate) | Promotion Period start date | Promotion Period end date | Where to shop |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sephora | 3% | 5% | October 1, 2026 | October 25, 2026 | In-store or sephora.ca |
| Silk & Snow | 6% | 8% | October 1, 2026 | May 18, 2027 | Silk & Snow showrooms or silkandsnow.com |
| Altitude Sports | 3% | 5% | October 1, 2026 | January 1, 2027 | altitude-sports.com |
| 437 | 2% | 4% | October 1, 2026 | May 27, 2027 | shop437.com |
Wealthsimple may add, remove, or modify partners, additional cash back rates, and the Promotion period at its sole discretion, without notice. The additional cash back is funded by the partner, which may have its own terms and conditions governing the additional cash back, including exclusions, restrictions or limitations (each "Partner Terms"). If applicable, Partner Terms will be available in the Wealthsimple app and on the Promotion Help Centre page, and Clients should review the relevant Partner Terms prior to making a purchase.
Application of Additional Cash Back. Once the Qualifying Transaction is complete, additional cash back calculated on the after-tax value of the Qualifying Transaction will be applied automatically and paid to the Client at the time of transaction settlement, provided that an offer was activated in the Wealthsimple app.
Cash Back Redemption. Additional cash back earned under this Promotion can be redeemed as soon as the Qualifying Transaction is settled for up to ten (10) years. Additional cash back can be redeemed directly in the Wealthsimple app and can only be deposited into the Client's Wealthsimple chequing, TFSA, RRSP, or non-registered accounts. Joint accounts, RESPs, LIRAs, RIFs, Registered Save, group/employer and private investment accounts are not eligible for cash back redemption. There is no minimum amount required to redeem. If a refund is processed after additional cash back is redeemed, the refunded amount will be deducted from the Client's total cash back rewards balance.
Currency. Additional cash back is earned in Canadian dollars. For Qualifying Transactions made in a currency other than Canadian dollars, additional cash back is calculated on the Canadian dollar equivalent, using the exchange rate applied by Visa at the time the Qualifying Transaction is processed.
Returns and Refunds. If you return a purchase, the cash back earned on that purchase is reversed based on the refund amount. Chargebacks and adjustments to a transaction will likewise proportionately reduce or cancel the additional cash back earned on it.
Combinability. This Promotion may be combined with other active Wealthsimple offers, subject to the terms and conditions of each such offer. Clients should review the terms of any other promotion they are enrolled in to confirm combinability with this Promotion.
Tax Implications. There may be tax implications associated with the additional cash back. Please consult an accountant or tax professional for guidance. Wealthsimple will not issue a tax slip for value derived from the additional cash back. Clients are solely responsible for any required tax reporting.
Release. By participating in the Promotion, the Client assumes all risk of injury, illness, disease, death, or any other damage which may arise in connection with their participation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Client (a) forever releases and discharges Wealthsimple and its parent companies, subsidiaries, affiliates, related and associated entities, and employees, directors, officers, suppliers, agents, sponsors, and administrators of each (collectively, the "Releasees") from any and all claims, actions, costs, liabilities, judgments, damages, obligations, losses, penalties, and expenses of any kind (including legal fees) arising directly or indirectly out of any injury, loss, or damage the Client may suffer in connection with participation in the Promotion or any Promotion-related activity, including the posting of the additional cash back to their Credit Card and subsequent use of its value; and (b) indemnifies, defends, and holds harmless the Releasees from any and all damages, loss, and expenses, including legal fees, suffered directly or indirectly by reason of the Client's own negligence or willful misconduct in connection with their participation.
General. Wealthsimple reserves the right to cancel, amend, withdraw, or restrict this Promotion, or any individual Partner Offer within it, at any time without notice. Wealthsimple is the sole arbiter of these terms and any issue arising under the Promotion. If Wealthsimple suspects fraudulent or abusive behaviour, gaming of the system, or a violation of these terms, as determined in its sole and absolute discretion, Wealthsimple reserves the right to remove the additional cash back and take any other action it deems appropriate, including closing the Client's Wealthsimple account(s). All other terms and conditions associated with the Credit Card apply, as do the standard terms (https://www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/legal/terms).
