Every Desjardins card, ranked

Desjardins' strongest everyday earner: 4% on groceries and 3% on restaurants for $100 a year, paid in cash rather than BONUSDOLLARS. The caps are high enough for most households; the catches are the income bar and travel insurance that stops at 3 days.

$100 annual fee · First-year net value ≈ $320 · Cash back

A genuinely strong top-tier card for Desjardins members, let down for everyone else by the fixed-value points ceiling and steep non-member fee.

$395 annual fee · First-year net value ≈ $450 · Desjardins BONUSDOLLARS

A reasonably priced World Elite card for Desjardins members based in or flying through Quebec. The points ceiling and single-airport lounge limit its appeal outside that footprint.

$130 annual fee · First-year net value ≈ $260 · Desjardins BONUSDOLLARS

The Cash Back Visa on the Mastercard network, with the same rates, caps and insurance. Pick it over the Visa only if you need a Mastercard, and don't get it for Costco: warehouse purchases earn the 0.5% base rate.

No annual fee · First-year net value ≈ $130 · Cash back

A free card whose insurance is better than its earn rate. The 2% categories cap at $3,600 a year combined and everything else earns 0.5%, so most households will earn more elsewhere; the 3-day travel medical and $1,000 phone cover are the reasons to hold it.

No annual fee · First-year net value ≈ $130 · Cash back

The weakest rung of the Odyssey ladder: no welcome offer, no confirmed fee waiver, capped 2% categories, and a 0.65% base rate. The gap to the World Elite Mastercard is small enough that most members should skip straight there.

$110 annual fee · First-year net value ≈ $70 · Desjardins BONUSDOLLARS

The Cash Back Visa paid in BONUSDOLLARS instead of cash. The rates are identical and a BONUSDOLLAR is worth $1, so the choice comes down to redeeming through Desjardins or getting a credit on your account. Most people should take the cash.

No annual fee · First-year net value ≈ $130 · Desjardins BONUSDOLLARS

Quietly the best rate-per-dollar-of-fee in Canada, with insurance no other low-rate card bothers to include. The Quebec-friendly pick.

No annual fee · First-year net value ≈ $0 · None (no rewards)

Rewards math assumes you pay your balance in full every month — interest charges quickly exceed any rewards value.

Desjardins Visa and Mastercard credit cards

Desjardins lists eight personal credit cards: five Visas and three Mastercards. We review all eight. Four earn BONUSDOLLARS, three pay cash back, and the Flexi Visa trades rewards for a low interest rate.

Card Network Annual fee Best earn rate Income requirement
Desjardins Odyssey Visa Infinite Privilege Visa $295 for members, $395 for non-members 4% on restaurants, entertainment and alternative transportation $150,000 personal or $200,000 household

What BONUSDOLLARS are worth

Desjardins states the value plainly: 1 BONUSDOLLAR earned = $1 you can redeem, toward trips, restaurant meals, gift cards, financial products and more. Because the value is fixed, the earn rate is the whole story. The World Elite pays up to 3% on groceries, which is up to $3 for every $100 you spend. There's no redemption sweet spot that makes a BONUSDOLLAR worth more. It's also why the free Desjardins Bonus Visa and Desjardins Cash Back Visa are the same card in practice: identical rates, one paid in BONUSDOLLARS and one in cash. See Bonus Visa vs Cash Back Visa.

That also sets the ceiling. A points card with airline transfer partners can beat its face value; an Odyssey card can't. Every card that earns them is ranked in our BONUSDOLLARS ranking.

Which Desjardins card to get

  • You spend heavily on groceries and earn $80,000 personal or $150,000 household income: the Desjardins Cash Back World Elite Mastercard. It pays 4% cash back on groceries (the first $10,000 a year) and 3% on restaurants, entertainment and alternative transportation, for a $100 fee.
  • Same income, but you take trips longer than 3 days or fly through Montréal-Trudeau: the Desjardins Odyssey World Elite Mastercard. Its included travel insurance covers trips of up to 60 days (depending on your age), where the Cash Back World Elite's stops at 3, and it includes free passes to the Desjardins Odyssey Lounge at Montréal-Trudeau. It earns up to 3% on groceries and restaurants in BONUSDOLLARS for a $130 fee. See Cash Back World Elite vs Odyssey World Elite.
  • You clear $150,000 personal or $200,000 household income: the Desjardins Odyssey Visa Infinite Privilege, with 4% on restaurants and entertainment and 3% on groceries. Desjardins members pay $295 a year for it instead of $395. See World Elite vs Visa Infinite Privilege.
  • You're looking at the Odyssey Gold Visa: the World Elite costs $20 more a year, and it earns 1% on everyday purchases against the Gold's 0.65%. It also adds a grocery rate the Gold doesn't have. If you clear the World Elite's income bar, it's the better card: Odyssey Gold vs World Elite.
  • You want a free card: the Desjardins Cash Back Visa, or the Desjardins Cash Back Mastercard if you need a Mastercard. Both pay 2% on restaurants and pre-authorized payments (the first $3,600 a year combined), entertainment and alternative transportation, and 0.5% on everything else. The insurance is the draw: travel medical for trips of up to 3 days and mobile device cover, unusual on a free card.
  • You carry a balance: the Desjardins Flexi Visa charges 10.9% on purchases with a $0 fee. Compare it on our low-interest ranking.
