Updates about Hudson’s Bay

What is happening with Hudson's Bay?

You may have heard that Hudson's Bay is undergoing a strategic restructuring under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA). This process is designed to allow Hudson's Bay to continue operating while it addresses certain financial challenges. Hudson's Bay stores remain open for business.

I’m concerned about Hudson's Bay’s financial issues—should I be worried about having this card?

There is no need to be concerned. Your card is issued and serviced by Neo, an independent financial service provider. Hudson's Bay’s CCAA process has no impact on your card’s functionality or security.

Impacts to the Hudson’s Bay Mastercard

How does this affect my Hudson's Bay Mastercard— powered by Neo?

Your Hudson's Bay Mastercard is issued and serviced by Neo. It remains fully functional, secure, and unaffected by the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) process. You can keep using your card as usual for everyday purchases or any other needs.

Will my Hudson's Bay Mastercard stop working?

Your Hudson's Bay Mastercard will continue to function as usual. This card is issued and serviced by Neo, so it’s not affected by the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) process. You can keep using it for everyday purchases, bill payments, and any other transactions without interruption. Your credit limit, interest rate, and account terms remain the same, and your card data remains secure within Neo.

Will this impact my credit card balance or personal data?

No. Your credit card balance and personal data are managed by Neo, not Hudson's Bay. Your obligation to make payments remains with Neo, and your card data is securely stored with Neo.

Do I need to do anything right now?

There is no additional action required. Your Hudson’s Bay Mastercard continues to function normally, so you can keep using it for everyday purchases and make payments as usual.

Will my credit limit be changed or reduced?

No, your credit limit will not be altered because of the CCAA process. Your credit limit is set by Neo based on your personal credit profile.

Is there a risk I won’t be able to use my card for everyday purchases?

You can continue using your Hudson's Bay Mastercard as usual. There are no restrictions or interruptions in service.

If I usually carry a balance, should I worry about changes to my interest rate or account terms?

Your interest rate and account terms remain unchanged. Any adjustments to rates or terms would follow normal credit processes and are not affected by the CCAA process.

Where do I make payments, and will that change?

You continue to make payments to Neo as you always have, through the Neo app or your usual payment method.

Updates on Hudson’s Bay Rewards

What about my Hudson’s Bay Rewards points?

Hudson's Bay has paused its Rewards program and at this time, customers are unable to view, earn, or redeem their points. For the latest information on the Hudson's Bay Rewards program, please visit Hudson’s Bay directly through their official website or customer support. In the meantime, Neo has launched an additional temporary cashback offer to ensure you can continue enjoying valuable rewards while your Hudson's Bay Rewards points are on hold. 

When will I see the cashback in my account?

Your cashback will be reflected in your Neo Rewards account within 10 days of your eligible purchase. We are actively working to make this process instantaneous, as you have come to expect with our regular cashback programs, and we anticipate this improvement coming soon. We will notify you once this is available. 

What is the cashback offer Neo is temporarily introducing?

Until further notice, you’ll now earn 2% cashback on purchases at Hudson’s Bay and 1% cashback everywhere else when you use your Hudson’s Bay Mastercard. No action is needed from you currently—just keep using your card as usual, and stay tuned for steps you may be required to take in the coming weeks.

This is a limited-time offer that can be amended or cancelled by Neo at any time without notice. 

Any refunds, rebates, or similar credits will reduce or cancel the cashback earned on the original eligible purchase. See the Neo Rewards Policy for details and other terms and conditions that apply.
