– RewardsCanada.ca
Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of September 2020! This is not a ‘best’ credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards for small businesses that have very good acquisition (welcome/sign up) offers. As always when choosing a card you should always take other factors into account other than the just sign up bonus, but when some of these cards are first year free, they can and do pay off even when you grab them strictly for the sign up rewards.

– RewardsCanada.ca
The Coast Hotels Coast Rewards awesome transfer bonus to Aeroplan has returned! Last seen in October of 2016 (at least that’s the last time we posted about it here on RC) the bonus provides 4x the Aeroplan miles for every Coast Rewards points converted. This means you can get anywhere from 2,000 to 300,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles when you convert those points. That’s right, 300,000 bonus Aeroplan miles. This time around the offer is even better than the 2016 version as that time it was triple miles on all transfer levels and only quadruple on the highest redemption option. That’s not the case this time as you’ll get quadruple miles on all transfers!These are transfer levels from Coast Rewards and the miles you’ll get:1,000 Coast Rewards Points = 4,000 Aeroplan Miles (1,000 base + 4,000 bonus)1,500 Coast Rewards Points = 6,000 Aeroplan Miles (1,500 base + 4,500 bonus)5,000 Coast Rewards Points = 20,000 Aeroplan Miles (5,000 base + 15,000 bonus) 10,000 Coast Rewards Points = 40,000 Aeroplan Miles (10,000 base + 30,000 bonus)20,000 Coast Rewards Points = 80,000 Aeroplan Miles (20,000 base + 60,000 bonus)50,000 Coast Rewards Points = 200,000 Aeroplan Miles (50,000 base + 150,000 bonus)100,000 Coast Rewards Points = 400,000 Aeroplan Miles (100,000 base + 300,000 bonus) I don’t know how many of you out there have 100,000 Coast Rewards Points as there are only 35 hotels to earn points at with a 1 point to 1…
