months of Cardmembership. A credit will be earned only on full dollar amounts of each qualifying Ontario Medical

forward and be added to the next qualifying purchase up to the last day of the bonus period or until the maximum of
$200 has been reached, whichever comes first.
4. If you reach an annual net purchase threshold of $60,000 before your Card anniversary date, you will receive an
additional 5,000 Membership Rewards points (“points”). Net purchases means purchases less returns and
adjustments posted to your account. A purchase must have a transaction date that is prior to the Card anniversary
date and must be posted to your account in order to be considered in the calculation of the net purchases threshold.
On each Card anniversary date, the calculation of the applicable annual net purchases threshold resets to zero and
you must qualify again for the new annual period. Purchases transacted on the Card anniversary date will be included
in the calculation of net purchases for the next annual period and not the previous annual period. Once an annual net
purchases threshold is reached, please allow approximately 7 days for the bonus points to be credited. In the case of
credits or returns that reduce the amount of net purchases below the $60,000 threshold, for which bonus points were
previously issued to your Membership Rewards Program account, (i) at our discretion, bonus points previously
earned may be deducted from points earned or from future issued points, and (ii) if we do not deduct such bonus
points, you will not be eligible to earn additional bonus points for reaching the same annual net purchases threshold
previously reached. Any bonus points earned are also subject to the Membership Rewards Program Terms and
Conditions. You acknowledge that the arrangement we have with the Ontario Medical Association may be changed
or terminated at any time.
