Applied and got approved. However when re-checked the GCR site, it was captured as a blank click, guessing no $100 rebate…

It may take a few days for the click page to be updated. Once your rebate is approved, you should see your click page updated as well. It took 2 days for me to get the rebate

Yes, you will need to sign up as a new customer (create a login and pass). You don't have to be the existent customer in order to apply for this card.

Thinking of signing up today but Just want to double check, I had the original tangerine cash back credit card as well, but I cancelled it a year+ ago; but it sounds like for some here who had the credit card previously (active or inactive) was not eligible for the bonus 10%? I still have a Tangerine chequing account as well
in my case, I had the TNG MC before & cancelled it. I can't even apply, let alone getting the 10% bonus, because the option to apply the MC is not available in my TNG acct.
I'm only looking to sign up for this card to get 2% CB from Costco. Can someone please confirm this can be done and how to set it up as one of my categories. Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure it can't. Not sure where you saw that.

I don’t believe Costco doesn’t fall under any of the 2% reward categories. At least for me the Costco charge on my Tangerine did not register as either (Groceries nor Home Improvement) categories which I have setup thus returning only 0.5% CB.

which category would electronics fall under?
It’s based on the store that categorizes where it falls under. If you buy electronics from No Frills vs Best Buy, it will fall under different categories. Also the categories also depend on how the merchant is setup with the CC company based on some category code. I’m not too familiar with it but if a merchant doesn’t categorize their store correctly, then you won’t get 2% bonus. IE: My Public Mobile doesn’t categorize their charges as a recurring bill so it doesn’t fall under that category, however, Telus (their parent company) does so my Telus charge does get 2% back.
Also, just a heads up; some reoccurring purchases don't get 2% either. My energy bill (Enmax) is only getting me 0.5%. I called and asked why as it's reoccurring and the CSR said it's because Enmax doesn't participate in the reoccurring program??? Beats me.
You need to earn $60k+ salary in order to qualify for the MC World Card. (Just answering a previous comment... and yes, you can only upgrade your card for existing Tangerine Cash Back CC holders.)

Looks like Costco falls under the 5300 MCC code (DISCOUNT STORES/ WAREHOUSE/ WHOLESALE - 5300) as per Visa MCC lookup website (which is most likely the same MCC code for MasterCard).
Unfortunately it doesn't fall over any of the category MCC codes listed in the Tangerine Cardholder Agreement, so it will be 0.5%.
Tangerine's eligible MCC category codes:
Drug Stores: merchants classified as “Drug Stores/Pharmacies” (MCC 5912);
Eating Places: merchants classified as “Eating Places, Restaurants, Bars, Lounges, Discos, Nightclub Taverns and Fast Food Restaurants” (MCC 5812 – 5814);
Entertainment: merchants classified as “Sports Venues, Theatres, Amusement Parks, Carnivals, Circus, Tourist Attractions and Exhibits, Movie Theatres, Zoos, Bands, Orchestras, Aquariums” (MCC 7941, 7922, 7996, 7991, 7929, 7998, 7832, 7829);
Gas: merchants classified as “Service Stations” (MCC 5541/5542);
Grocery: merchants classified as “Grocery Stores and Supermarkets” (MCC 5411, 5462);
Home Improvements: merchants classified as “Hardware Stores, Home Supply Warehouse Stores, Lawn and Garden Supply Stores, Glass/Paint/Wallpaper Stores, Florist supplies nursery stock & flowers, Floor Coverings, Drapery and Window Coverings” (MCC 5251, 5200, 5261, 5231, 5718, 5713, 5714);
Hotels-Motels: merchants classified as “Lodging, Hotels, Motels, Resorts or by Property name” (i.e. Fairmont, Marriott, Holiday Inn, etc.) (MCC 7011, 3500-3828);
Public Transportation and Parking: merchants classified as “Automobile Parking Lots and Garages, Public Transportation (including Buses, Trains, Ferries), Taxis, Road Tolls” (MCC 7523, 4111, 7524, 4121, 4784);
Recurring Bill Payment: Recurring bill payments are defined as payments made on a monthly or other regular basis, and which are automatically billed by the merchant to your Tangerine Credit Card, such as your monthly phone bill. Not all merchants offer recurring payments, and not all ongoing payments will be considered “recurring payments” for purposes of this category. Please check with your merchant to see if your recurring payment qualifies.
