Current 10% and Above Cash Back Offers for April 2023

ByMatt April 15, 2023December 12, 2023

We are back again with another month of top credit cards currently offering at least a 10% cash back bonus promotion. There is only one cash back promotion expiring this month.

There are many other cash back offers out there too, but because the market is very competitive now, so only the 10% and above offer make it to our monthly list. Keep in mind that we still have the Top Cash Back Credit Cards page for a more complete list of cards.

Starting with new carbon tax, supply issues, etc. This is probably as good as time as any to list some of the best credit cards to use for gas purchases.

With BMO looking to purchase Air Miles, American Express has discontinued its American Express Air Miles co-branded credit cards. It was really only a matter of time it seems.

All the links are broken now on their website are broken now. If you are an existing cardholders, it looks like you can continue to use your card. But I would expect those to be discontinued in the feature too.
