The Best Credit Cards for Students in 2019 + MORE Jan 14th

Today marks a big day for Rewards Canada! 15 years after we first launched Canada’s first credit card comparison charts they have received their first esthetic update since 2004! Sure the information in the charts was constantly updated but the actual look and feel of them had not been touched since we first launched them and it was time to do so. The charts now read much better with the information being set up left to right rather than up and down and the columns are sortable! We have to thank our reader James M. for telling us about the Javascript that allowed us to add this feature. We are not programmers by trade so it took a little bit of time to figure how to work it! We still are in the process of trying to figure out how to lock the table header in place so that you can see it no matter where you scroll in the charts and hope to have that feature soon.You’ll notice some of our original comparison info is no longer in table, such as Minimum Credit Limit but you’ll also we have added in more detail into the insurance and benefits section so that you can better compare things like travel medical insurance, flight delay and so on!Here are the links to all the charts that have seen the update:Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: All Travel Rewards Credit Cards  Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: Most Popular CardsCanadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: Travel Points Credit Cards Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: Hybrid Credit Cards Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: Airline Credit Cards  Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: Hotel Credit Cards  The following charts will be updated over the next few months as well to the new format:Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison: Business / Corporate Credit Cards Canadian Credit Card Comparison: Cashback Credit CardsLet us know what you think of the new charts in the comments below!

Have you ever been surprised to find that you were turned down for credit, or that you had very little credit history at all?
Even if your credit history is rock solid, it’s important to know what goes into determining your credit score. Understanding how your credit score is measured will help you improve it, and keep it in good standing.
What Is A Credit Score?
A credit score is a summary of an individual’s entire credit history and serves as an indicator of their ability to meet their financial obligations.
Your credit file is a fairly complex document that’s full of various codes and data. The credit bureau provides an ongoing analysis of that data, summarizing it into an easy to decipher 3-digit score, allowing lenders to assess the overall quality of your repayment history, before deciding to dig deeper.
For example, an excellent credit score may indicate that no further investigation is necessary, an average score might suggest deeper review, and a poor one could mean a summary denial…

Not only can you earn points, merchandise or cash-back for you purchases, but you’re also given the opportunity to start building your credit. And this is important if you’re a young adult who doesn’t have any credit to your name. If used responsibly, having a credit card will start you off on the right foot so you are eligible for other types of credit in the future, like personal loans or a mortgage. And there’s a great chance you’ll need one of these things eventually.
Rewards cards generally offer different amounts of points or cash-back for particular spending categories (gas, grocery, pharmacy purchases, etc.).
