Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for July
– RewardsCanada.ca
Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of July! 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 (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 most or all of these cards are first year free, they can and do pay off even when you grab them strictly for the sign up rewards. In fact all of the cards on this list are first year free so you can try them out at no cost and decide later on if the card is right for you. All the while you earn the sign up bonus which can be used to subsidize your travels!Finally some changes to this monthly ranking! Mainly thanks to BMO dropping their first year free offers on two big cards (I guess it shouldn’t be a thank you as the offers on those cards are now weaker) We see the continuation of the very good RBC Visa Infinite offer and for the first time we see HSBC make it into this list as they join the ranks of trying to attract more customers outside of their own banking base…Earn Double Elite Night Credit for stays at the Andaz Ottawa Byward Market and other Andaz Hotels globally
