It's similar to Amex. NBC Rewards points can wipe out part or all of the travel purchases you made ($100 increments only, however), or there's an online shopping mall where you can get a gift card or a toaster. If you have financial products with NBC you can also contribute to your RRSP, pay your mortgage, etc. with points. So it's not cashback towards anything but it's not strictly travel either.
