– RewardsCanada.ca
Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of July! This is not a ‘best’ credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards that have very good acquisition offers. As always when choosing a card you should always take other factors into account other than the sign up bonus, but when most or all of these cards are first year free, they can and do pay off even when not taking into account insurance packages and other non-reward benefits. In fact 4 out of 5 cards on this list for August are first year free so you can try many of them out at no cost, get over $1,000 in rewards and decide later on if the card is right for you.

The 60,000 point sign up bonus for the Best Western MasterCard ended on July 10th so we finally have a small change in our monthly rankings…
