Matt has been an avid points collector since 1992 (an elementary school student), when his dad signed up for the new (at the time) Air Miles program. Since then, Matt took a keen interest in learning how the miles and points world works. He quickly found out that there is a lot of value in leveraging miles and points to fund his passion for travelling.

Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for July 2016

ByMatt

I made a small tweak to the title to avoid confusion. This list that I put together on a monthly basis is to capture all the higher than normal sign up bonuses. For all the top current credit card sign up bonus offers, you can hover over the “Top Credit Cards” in the menu bar. There you will find a drop down menu of the credit cards sorted by categories.

Reward Options with the Rogers Platinum MasterCard

ByMatt

The Rogers Platinum MasterCard is quickly becoming one of the more popular credit card for Canadians, especially because it waives foreign exchange fees (generally 2.5% transaction fee with other credit cards). Not to mention that the annual fee is waived if you are a Rogers customer (which can also be considered the catch) and 1.75% cash back on all purchases.

Credit Cards with High Minimum Income Requirements

ByMatt

Signing up for credit cards always have requirements to fulfil. The two most common ones are credit scores and meeting minimum income requirements. Today, we will focus on minimum income requirements. Usually, the common ones are $15,000, $30,000 or $60,000 personal income minimum. But there are other credit cards that are even higher and they are generally considered the “premium” credit cards, which offer a lot more perks and benefits.

ByMatt

The American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card (Canadian version) has been slightly upgraded. Originally, there was a $50 annual fee for supplementary cardholders, which now waives its first year fee.

It has been exactly one year since I last updated this list. And it doesn’t seem like groceries have declined much since. Seems more like the prices continue to climb. So I thought I’d update the list of top credit cards to use on groceries.
