We are back this month with the top first year fee waived promotions. See the commentary under each credit card for more thoughts on each offer.
Limited Time First Year Fee Waived Offers
Air Canada’s Aeroplan and Parkland’s Journie Rewards are teaming up to increase earning and redemption opportunities.
Parkland owns and operates Canadian gas stations including Ultramar, Chevron, Pioneer, Fas Gas, and ON the RUN and Marché Express. These stations allow customers to earn Journie Rewards, which we are a big fan of. The partnership is set to launch in the fall of 2023.
We are back again with another month of top credit cards currently offering at least a 10% cash back bonus promotion. There is only one cash back promotion expiring this month.
There are many other cash back offers out there too, but because the market is very competitive now, so only the 10% and above offer make it to our monthly list. Keep in mind that we still have the Top Cash Back Credit Cards page for a more complete list of cards.
It was good while it latest I guess. Looks like gas prices have started to spike again in the month of April after a few months of stability prior to that. Starting with new carbon tax, supply issues, etc. This is probably as good as time as any to list some of the best credit cards to use for gas purchases.
With BMO looking to purchase Air Miles, American Express has discontinued its American Express Air Miles co-branded credit cards. It was really only a matter of time it seems.
All the links are broken now on their website are broken now. If you are an existing cardholders, it looks like you can continue to use your card. But I would expect those to be discontinued in the feature too.

We continue celebrating the lead up to our 10 year anniversary later this year by interviewing a very special guest. We are honoured to feature Patrick Sojka, founder of Rewards Canada, whom we consider as the OG in the Canadian miles and points world.
