Activate your CareCredit Rewards Mastercard at carecredit.com/mastercard to start using your card for healthcare expenses, wellness purchases, and everyday spending. Once activated, the card can be used for medical, dental, vision, veterinary, pharmacy, and retail purchases anywhere Mastercard is accepted.

What Is CareCredit.com/Mastercard?

CareCredit.com/mastercard is the official webpage for the CareCredit Rewards Mastercard. This card expands on the traditional CareCredit healthcare financing card by allowing cardholders to use it both inside and outside the CareCredit provider network.

Unlike the standard CareCredit card, which mainly works with approved healthcare providers, the Mastercard version can also be used for:

• Grocery shopping
• Restaurants
• Gas stations
• Online purchases
• Pet stores
• Wellness products
• Everyday retail spending

At the same time, it still offers promotional healthcare financing options for qualified medical purchases.

Where Can You Use the Card?

The CareCredit Rewards Mastercard can be used:

Inside the CareCredit Network

This includes more than 280,000 enrolled healthcare providers in the United States.

Common categories include:

• Dental care
• Cosmetic procedures
• Vision services
• Veterinary clinics
• Chiropractic care
• Hearing care
• Pharmacy purchases

Outside the Network

Because it is a Mastercard, it can also be used almost anywhere Mastercard is accepted worldwide.

Example of How It Works

Imagine you need a dental procedure costing $2,400.

A participating dentist offers:

• 12 months promotional financing

You pay using your CareCredit Rewards Mastercard.

If you pay:

• $200 per month for 12 months
• and fully clear the balance before the deadline

You may avoid paying interest entirely.

But if you still owe money after the promotion period ends, interest may be charged retroactively.
