Top Credit Cards for Purchasing Gas (updated January 31, 2022)

I cannot believe that it has been almost 7 years since I last updated this post. There is no question that this post can use an update, especially considering how much gas prices have gone up over the last 12 months in Canada.

The better strategy is still to purchase gas using a credit card to meet minimum spend requirements for new promotional sign up bonuses.

Current 10% and Above Cash Back Offers for January 2022

At the beginning of the month, we predicted that the cash back market is going to heat up this year. So I am expecting to be very busy with updating this monthly post this year. To start the year off, the two Tangerine 15% cash back offers end this month, while Scotiabank has added its Momentum card to the list.

Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for January 2022

It is already 2022! To kick off the year with our first monthly higher than normal sign up bonus post, the National Bank offers ended last month and were not extended, so we will see if they offer another one later this year. The Scotiabank Gold American Express was set to expire, but now extended to February 28, 2022 to align with a couple other Scotiabank offers. Today is the last day for the two RBC WestJet offers.

Best Current First Year Fee Waived Cards for December 2021

TD had most of their promotion ending from last month’s list, but they ended up extending most of their offers to March 2022 (with some minor tweaks to the offer) or May 2022.

The Brim offer is coming to an end this month. Usually they extended it by 1 month at a time. This time around, they extended by a rare 2 months in one shot, so there is a chance this will really come to an end this time. Or maybe they will offer something different instead starting January. Either way, if you have been thinking about this card for a while now, as is as good a time as any to go for it.
