Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for May – These cards provide some of the best value out of their welcome bonuses
– RewardsCanada.ca
Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of May 2020! 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 two first year free cards on the list!The big change this month is the Platinum Card from American Express making the list for the very first time and in a big way jumps to the number one spot on the list. It’s bonus is 60,000 points and it does have a $699 annual fee however until late July it has double the redemption value of those points (1,000 points = $20) which means the first 50,000 points on the card are worth $1,000 plus the additional 10,000 points you get after 6 months are worth another $100 giving you $1,100 in value or a $401 gain above the $699 annual fee…Scientists find black hole 1,000 light years from Earth Hurriyet Daily NewsAstronomers find closest black hole to Earth, hints of more CTV NewsAstronomers find ‘truly black’ black hole lurking in a nearby star system The Weather NetworkAstronomers discover closest black hole to Earth CanoeWORLD: Astronomers find closest black hole to Earth GuelphTodayView Full coverage on Google News
British Airways Executive Club – 50% to 75% Bonus when you buy or gift Avios
– RewardsCanada.ca
A few days ago British Airways launched yet another buy Avios bonus. Once again for most members it is a 50% bonus – which is decent in its own right and has been a good option for building your Avios balance up in the past. However in today’s market and uncertainty in future travel it may not make any sense to buy Avios now seeing that the 50% bonus makes its way to market several times per year. That being said there is also a 75% bonus for buying Avios that is for BAEC members who hold a British Airways co-branded credit card. We know the bonus is there for both U.K. and U.S. cardholders and are assuming it is the same for Canada but aren’t 100% sure. Perhaps one of our readers who does have the RBC British Airways Visa could let us know if the 75% bonus offer shows up for them! If you do get the 75% bonus you may still not want to buy Avios but it is definitely more enticing!Offer details:Up to 75% Bonus Avios when you buy or gift Avios. Buy Avios here.
