About Brim Mastercard 

Rewards & Cash Back

With a Brim Mastercard, rewards can be calculated as points or cash back dollars. This is how rewards are earned:

  • 1 point per dollar spent or
  • 1% cash back 

As a result, 1 point is equal to $0.01. For example, if you spend $100 you earn 100 points. This is equivalent to $1 cash back. 

Unlike other credit cards, Brim Mastercard does not limit the amount of cash back dollars you can earn. This gives cardholders the freedom to spend and redeem without limitation. 

Brim Mastercard cardholders can earn more points when shopping at featured stores. 

Examples of retailers that will earn you extra points include:

  • Frank and Oak - 10%
  • Lululemon - 10%
  • Sonos - 8%
  • Contiki - 15%

Once you’ve earned points, they can be redeemed for any of the following rewards:

  • Cash back
  • Groceries
  • Concerts
  • Gas, and more

Brim doesn’t restrict reward redemption. This means that you can redeem points or cash back whenever and wherever you’d like.

Travel

When it comes to travelling, having a Brim Mastercard offers the following benefits to enhance your vacation:

  • Free WiFi at over one million hotspots around the world through Boingo Wireless

Common Carrier Accident Insurance

When you pay for land, air or water transportation using your Brim Mastercard, you’ll receive insurance covering accidental death or dismemberment. 

Coverage amounts include:

  • $100,000 per insured party - the cardholder, their spouse and eligible dependent children are covered when all tickets are purchased using the credit card.
  • $300,000 per accident - maximum coverage for all insured parties.

Mobile Device Insurance

You can receive up to $500 to repair or replace your mobile device if it is lost, damaged or stolen. This insurance is offered only if the mobile device was purchased using your Brim Mastercard.

Extended Warranty

Brim Mastercard offers an additional 1 year of extended warranty on top of the manufacturer’s warranty.

This coverage allows you to seek reimbursement or replacement for items purchased on your Brim Mastercard. This insurance can be claimed if an item is stolen or damaged within 90 days of purchase. Purchase security insurance covers up to $1,000 per incidence.
