The new Tangerine Rewards World Elite Mastercard also introduces Benefinder, changing how clients track and manage rewards
TORONTO, April 22, 2026 /CNW/ – Tangerine Bank today unveiled their new Tangerine® Rewards World Elite®* Mastercard®*, its new premium credit card, designed to give Canadians greater flexibility and value from their everyday spending. Central to the credit card experience is Benefinder™1, a first-of-its-kind digital rewards tool that helps clients easily access their card benefits and gain greater control over the rewards available to them. As features and benefits of credit cards, including rewards programs become more expansive, the Benefinder tool helps Tangerine clients better understand and unlock the value they can earn through their credit card — so we can help them never miss out on a benefit.
“Canadians aren’t always aware of all the rewards and benefits available to them, which means value can easily be left on the table,” said Michelle Butler, Vice President, Lending Solutions at Tangerine. “That insight shaped how we built our new Tangerine Rewards World Elite Mastercard. With Benefinder, we focused on removing that friction point so our clients can see and use their available rewards and be confident that their credit card is working hard for them.”
Introducing Benefinder: A New Way to Get a Hold of Your Rewards
Available exclusively to Tangerine Rewards World Elite Mastercard cardholders through Tangerine’s mobile app, Benefinder brings together the credit cards benefits and offers — including those from key partners like Scene+®†, Mastercard, and Shell — into a single, intuitive experience, helping clients get value from every benefit available to them.
With more functionality planned to launch overtime, Benefinder sets the foundation for a new approach to rewards and benefits with a Tangerine credit card.
