The CCRC is here to represent the collective voice of Canadian consumers and ensure that governments across Canada act with your best interests in mind. Now Ottawa could be putting your points and rewards at risk once again.
Every day, millions of Canadians use reward-based credit cards to make purchases from basic necessities to fun and novelty items, collecting reward points while doing so.
Thanks to politicians in Ottawa, those points and rewards could now again be at risk. Help the CCRC fight to protect them by signing up and sending an email to your MP.
We have been able to do so thanks to the support of everyday Canadians across the country. Join us to help us keep up our fight.

For years, retail businesses have been pressuring the Canadian government to lower credit card transaction fees known as interchange fees. These fees are in part what funds and makes rewards possible, along with other perks of paying by credit card. If fees are cut, reward points could be scaled back or disappear entirely, costing hundreds of dollars every year to Canadian families. Now, a new committee study will once again look into cutting interchange fees for merchants, which could leave you with no points and rewards and no savings to show for it. Learn more about interchange fees and how they are connected to your credit card rewards here.
