Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for August 2021

For this month, various RBC offers were set to expire last month, but were extended to later in the year. American Express offers came off the list this month, granted they now have different permanent offers. Several offers are about to expire this month, namely the Scotiabank Gold American Express. If you have been contemplating any of the August offers, this is the month to get them. 

8% Cash Back offer with National Bank

 I have been asked by National Bank to do a review of one of their highly anticipated promotional offers, so here goes! 

Looks like there is a new player in town to compete in the cash back sphere. We have been writing about how we think the Canadian rewards industry is shifting more towards cash back, rather than miles and points. This new offer is just more indication of this happening.

Best Current First Year Fee Waived Cards for July 2021

The Laurentian Bank Visa Dollars and Brim World Elite MasterCard promotions expired last month, but got extended.

But the most significant addition to this month’s list is the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Card, which is the first time we have seen this credit card fee waived, along with the supplementary card too. If you have been thinking about getting this card, now as the best time to go for it!

Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for June 2021

Two months ago, the HSBC offers came to and end, only to show back up a little different this time around. The two American Express promotions expired last month. For this month, only the RBC WestJet offer is up for expiry, but RBC also added 4 new offers that will expire in July.
