May 5 Update: Earn up to 3x points on Hilton stays, Save 25% on food gift cards with RBC Rewards & new hotel openings in Canada update! + MORE May 5th

 THIS OFFER IS NO LONGER AVAILABLEThe overall best travel rewards credit card in Canada (and in fact a pretty strong cash back card in its own right) has enjoyed its best ever welcome bonus since January and that offer will be wrapping up in two weeks! The card is the American Express Cobalt Card and ever since it launched late in 2017 it has been the number one card in Canada. There are several reasons for this but it primarily comes down to the card earning 5x points on eats and drinks (it was one of the first cards to award that many points on purchases) but also providing good redemption value for those 5x points and even the rest of the points the card earns a 2x and 1x. On top of that the card lets you convert points to Marriott Bonvoy which can then in turn be converted to 40+ airline programs including Aeroplan. Really, the card gives you a little bit of everything.Here are just a few of our articles that support this card being the best in Canada: Yes, you can achieve a return of 20% or higher on your credit card spending  Why the American Express Cobalt Card is the best card to get for your future travel plansand many more can be found here: American Express Cobalt Card Resources on Rewards Canada  Now back to the best ever bonus on this card!
