      RONA card cardholders receive 1 AIR MILES reward mile for every $20 in purchases before taxes charged to their RONA card, according to their billing cycle. The number of AIR MILES reward miles awarded is rounded down to the next whole number; fractions of reward miles are not awarded. AIR MILES reward miles are awarded on all transactions made with the RONA card (sales minus returns) at participating stores. Interest charges and other fees are excluded from the calculation of AIR MILES reward miles. AIR MILES reward miles are transferred to the collector’s AIR MILES account up to thirty (30) days following the issuance of the collector’s RONA account statement.

      To receive AIR MILES reward miles, the cardholder must provide his/her AIR MILES collector number in the appropriate space on the RONA credit card application form. RONA card cardholders who do not have an AIR MILES Collector Card must request one online at www.airmiles.ca. RONA card cardholders must then provide Desjardins Card Services with their AIR MILES collector number by calling 1-800-363-3380. AIR MILES reward miles begin accumulating from the date on which Desjardins Card Services receives the RONA cardholder’s AIR MILES collector number. The retroactive issuance of AIR MILES reward miles is not authorized nor granted. This offer may be modified or cancelled without notice.

      To receive up to 2x the AIR MILES reward miles, RONA card cardholders must pay for their transactions using the RONA card and present their AIR MILES Collector Card at the same time. The standard base AIR MILES offer at RONA, L’Entrepôt RONA and Home & Garden by RONA is: one (1) AIR MILES reward mile for every $20 purchases before taxes and excluding the purchase of gift cards.

      Bonus mile offers apply only upon presentation of the AIR MILES Collector Card and do not apply to the RONA card, with the exception of AIR MILES promotional offers linked to use of the RONA card which may be in effect from time to time.

      If AIR MILES bonus miles are issued through a promotion linked to the use of the RONA card, they will be issued only in respect of the offer’s conditions.

At the end of the deferral period, the balance of the multiple purchases is payable in twenty-four (24) or thirty-six (36) equal and consecutive monthly instalments, accordingly to the plan registered during the deferral period, at an annual interest of 13.5% if the balance is less than $2,500 or, if the balance is equal to or greater than $2,500, at an annual interest rate of 4% (for transactions posted to the account with the twenty-four (24) instalments plan during the deferral period) or at 6% (for transactions posted to the account with the thirty-six (36) instalments plan during the deferral period). Equal monthly instalments are included in the minimum payment due on the card.

      The table below illustrates the payment terms
