What’s the difference between the cards? Which one should I get?
All three of President Choice’s mastercards have no annual fees, and they have the same interest rates.
- 20.97% purchase interest rate.
- 0.97% 6 months promotional balance transfer rate
- 22.97% cash advance interest rate. 21.97% in Quebec
The major difference between the three cards is that you earn more rewards with the higher tier cards.
To qualify for the PC Financial World Mastercard, you need to be earning at least $60,000/year in personal income or $100,000 in household income.
To qualify for the PC Financial World Elite Mastercard, you need to be earning at least $80,000/year in personal income or $150,000 in household income.
If you qualify for the World or World Elite Mastercards, you should apply for that one instead of the standard PC Financial Mastercard.
