ClearFin estimate on Canada's 300–900 scale. This is not an issuer cutoff or approval guarantee; lenders may use different bureau scores and underwriting criteria. This is an estimated approval range based on industry data and cardholder reports. Brim Financial does not publish a minimum credit score requirement, and approval decisions consider additional factors such as income, credit history, existing debt, payment history, and overall creditworthiness. Applicants must also meet the card's minimum income requirements.

Reward limits: The Brim World Elite Mastercard has no published annual or monthly earning caps. Cardholders earn 1 Brim Reward point per $1 spent on all eligible purchases. Brim Open Rewards and Brim Marketplace offers are advertised as uncapped and unlimited, allowing cardholders to earn accelerated rewards and bonus point multipliers at participating merchants without disclosed spending limits. Certain promotional merchant offers may have their own individual terms and conditions.

ClearFin analysis

Our detailed review

A practical reading of where the card earns, what the fee buys, and which limits matter.

💳 Brim Rewards

1 Brim point per $1 on all purchases. Premium World Elite benefits.

How the rewards work

Dining, Groceries, Gas, Travel, Everything else receive the strongest estimated return at 1.0%. Purchases outside the accelerated categories earn an estimated 1.0%.

What the annual cost means

Using the strongest estimated category return alone, roughly $8,900 in annual spending at that rate would equal the $89 fee before considering the value of insurance, partner benefits, or a welcome offer.

Who it may suit

This card is most relevant for someone who spends consistently on dining and groceries and can use enough of the included value to justify the yearly cost.

What to examine before applying

Compare the purchase interest rate, foreign-transaction fee, approval requirements, reward limits, and insurance certificates. Pay particular attention to merchant-category rules because a store may not receive the reward rate its products appear to suggest.
