Bonuses & Fees

The Wealthsimple Visa Infinite Privilege* Credit Card currently offers no sign-up bonus, not even a temporary boost or a statement credit, which is rare for a card at the Visa Infinite Privilege tier. Like its Visa Infinite + sibling, the value proposition is a flat 2% cash back on everything and no foreign transaction fees, with a stronger travel benefits package layered on top. If a big upfront bonus is the priority, our monthly roundup of Canada's best credit card offers has you covered.

The fee is $20 per month, or $240 per year, billed annually for Quebec residents, identical to the Visa Infinite +. It's waived entirely with $100,000 or more in eligible Wealthsimple assets, or with direct deposits of at least $4,000 per month into a Wealthsimple Chequing account.^†

The eligibility bar is higher, though. You'll need a personal income of $150,000 or a household income of $200,000. Alternatively, you can qualify with $50,000 in annual spending on the card, or with $400,000 in assets held with Wealthsimple.

An active Wealthsimple Chequing account is required, and the balance can only be paid from Wealthsimple Chequing, as payments from external accounts aren't supported. Supplementary cards aren't available.

Note that card availability is limited, and meeting the requirements doesn't guarantee approval.

Earning Rewards

The Wealthsimple Visa Infinite Privilege* Credit Card earns a flat 2% cash back on all eligible purchases, with no tiers, no caps, and no categories to track.^† The 2% doesn't apply to cash-like transactions, refunds, or fees and adjustments.

With no foreign transaction fees, the full 2% also applies to purchases in any currency, with only the Visa network conversion rate in play.^†

Redeeming Rewards

Cash back can be redeemed at any point into almost any Wealthsimple account. There's no annual payout schedule to wait for, and no points program to decode.^†

Rewards land as real cash, so you can sweep them into your chequing balance, or straight into your investing accounts and put them to work. A flat-rate cash back card doesn't come with redemption sweet spots. 2% back is 2% back, and that simplicity is precisely the appeal.
