Ranking the Credit Card Portfolios of Each Canadian Financial Institutions (updated April 1, 2016)

Top United States Credit Cards Offered in Canada (updated March 23, 2016)
It has been a while since we last updated this list. With the weak Canadian dollar, apparently slowly recovering, I thought I’d update the list of United States affiliated credit cards offered by Canadian financial institutions.

Building a Credit Card Portfolio (around $500 spending per month)
Back in 2014, we built a suggested credit card portfolio for people who spend about $500 per month. With all the changes in the industry, I though it’s time to update my suggestion. I will also be updated my suggested portfolios for the $2,000 and $5,000+ monthly spending as well. For this portfolio, it is mostly for people who live at home with their parents, so let’s say they have this approximate spending:

Best Credit Card for Each Financial Institution (March 13, 2016)
I have written posts ranking each financial institution, but I thought it would be fun to write a post listing the top 1 credit card per institution. I have listed the credit cards based on the most recent financial institution rankings. Maybe one day I will list the top credit cards, but it highly depends on a person’s needs, so it is very subjective.
Top Cash Back Sign Up Offers for March 2016
We just released a post about the Top Sign Up Bonuses for the month of March. But that list was primarily focused on higher than normal sign up bonus miles and points. To be fair, there are some cash back promotional offers that are worth a look. I am uncertain whether this list is going to be re-posted monthly, but you can at least stay up to date on our Top Cash Back Credit Cards page.

My Current Credit Card Portfolio
I have been asked this question many times. What do you have in your credit card portfolio? Well, here it is! I would like to note that I set my wife up on a different credit card portfolio than mine,…

Best No Annual Fee Credit Cards
For those of you who don’t like paying annual fees. This is the post for you. Personally, I would actually prefer signing up for credit cards that waive their first year annual fees. Those are generally the credit cards with much more generous sign up bonuses. So you take the bonus first, then decide what you want to do with the credit card after the first year. In some cases, it may make sense to pay the annual fee.
