– RewardsCanada.ca
Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of March 2021! 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 (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. This month we see three first year free cards on the list One change this month as the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard shoots up to first place with its new companion voucher offer on top of the 450 WestJet dollars you can earn as its welcome bonus. This drops the MBNA Alaska Airlines World Elite Mastercard off the list.Editor’s Note:As travel is curtailed right now these offers are more forward looking and can and should be used towards your long term travel plans – whether that’s later this year, next year or even beyond…March 2 Update: Last day to grab the 3,000 mile offer on the American Express Platinum AIR MILES Credit Card & a new Amex Offer for mobile service providers
