Changing the cashback categories on your Neo credit card

Learn how to earn different rewards by switching your rewards category.

If your Neo World Elite® Mastercard or Neo World Mastercard® doesn't match how you spend, you can change to a different card with different cashback categories — directly in the app.

This type of change keeps your physical card, card number, credit limit, and account history exactly the same. Only your rewards rates update.

Cards you can choose from

If you're eligible, you can choose 1 of these options:

  • Gas & Grocery: Earn more on grocery, gas, and recurring payments.

  • Shop & Dine: Earn more on dining out and retail shopping.

  • Everywhere: Earn a fixed rate on all purchases, no matter where you shop.

Note: The default category for all cards is Gas & Grocery.

How to change your cashback categories

  1. Open the Neo app

  2. Go to your current Neo credit card details screen and select Manage card

  3. Select Explore card options

  4. Choose the card you'd like to change to

  5. Review what changes and what stays the same

  6. Confirm

The change takes effect immediately.

What happens when you change your cashback categories

  • Your new cashback rates apply right away — no waiting period

  • Your physical card stays the same — no new card is issued

  • Your card number, credit limit, APR, and account history all carry over

  • Any cashback you've already earned stays in your Rewards Wallet.

  • Your boost level (based on your Neo Chequing or Neo Everyday account balance) still applies
