Promotion alert!
RBC is offering a 30% transfer bonus to British Airways’ Executive Club. The last time that RBC offered a bonus to Executive Club was back in November of 2019, albeit for 50%.
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.
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.
RBC launched its Time for More initiative with the goal of encouraging Canadians to shop at their partner brands by offering bonus points opportunities with them.
Time for More Highlights
Throughout the summer, the Time for More campaign will give eligible RBC credit and debit cardholders promotional offers including:
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!
Two Tangerine cards have been added to this month’s list. This is the first time that Tangerine has offered a 10% cash back bonus.
Keep in mind that we still have the Top Cash Back Credit Cards page, which includes permanent and temporary offers if you wish to see a more complete list of cards, not just cards that offer at least 10% cash back.
Three new American Express offers were added, as well as a modified RBC WestJet offer that expired last month.
Top Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for July 2021
For this month, all the TD promotions that expired last month were extended to August, while HSBC is back on this month’s list.
Limited Time First Year Fee Offers
We have listed the cards based on their promotional expiry dates. If there is a tie-break, it is ranked by annual fee (lowest to highest), after which it will go alphabetically.
Our 10% cash back post came out 3 days ago, so we just missed the new Tangerine 10% cash back promotion. We will add these two cards to next month’s list. This is the first time we saw a 10% cash back with Tangerine as they join a host of big hitters in the industry these days.
There have been no changes from last month’s list compared to this month.
Keep in mind that we still have the Top Cash Back Credit Cards page, which includes permanent and temporary offers if you wish to see a more complete list of cards, not just cards that offer at least 10% cash back.
Note that we have split up the list into temporary (limited time) and permanent offers (indefinite, but can end any time without notice).
