Another month, another list. Not too many changes for the last few months. Feels like slim pickings to me. All of the offers are currently coming from 3 of the major banks (BMO, CIBC and Scotiabank). Hope to see other companies step up by the next month.
Note that we also have two other types of monthly lists going on:
Is it just me or has there been a lot more fraud in the past 12 months or so?
