Best Current First Year Fee Waived Cards for August 2020

Some minor changes to this month’s list. HSBC cards have been taken off as they expired a week ago or so. The TD cards are next up. They will not make it to next month’s list. So if you are thinking about those cards, I would go for them. While Brim extended their offer another month, so you have a few more days left to take advantage. 

Keep in mind that this post refers to temporary offers. We also have an ongoingly updated Top Credit Cards pages that includes permanent first year fee waived offers too. Here are some of the more relevant ones that are more related to this post:

Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for August 2020

A new month, a list new, but there are no changes from last month. Do note that some offers end sometime this month and the rest at the end of October.

Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for July 2020

Best Current First Year Fee Waived Cards for June 2020

There were a few minor changes (mostly tweaks to the TD offers) from last month, along with a notable promotional extension. The Brim World Elite MasterCard extended its first year fee waiver off $199 annual fee another month (was also extended last month) to June 30, 2020. So same thing I said last month, if you missed your chance last month, this is your opportunity. There is no way to guarantee that the promotion will be extended again, but it could.

Top Cash Back Credit Card Offers for June 2020

I recently provided an aggressive cash back churning strategy. Today’s post is almost a continuation of that post. Basically, if you want to have a strong cash back strategy, you will want to continually keep track of new and ongoing offers that you can take advantage of.

Note that this post focuses on temporary offers. Our Top Cash Back Credit Cards page continues to list current offers that are not exclusive to limited time offers like this post.

Very minor changes to this month’s list as most offers are running well into the summer. But you may want to take a closer look at the TD offers as they will be expiring before our next month’s list.

Best Current First Year Fee Waived Cards for May 2020

There were few changes to this month’s list, aside from offer extensions. For example, the Brim World Elite MasterCard extended its first year fee waiver off $199 annual fee till May 31, 2020, so if you missed your chance last month, this is your opportunity. I highlight this card because it is rare to see a credit card with such a high annual fee be waived.

Best Current First Year Fee Waived Cards for April 2020

The card that I would like to highlight for this month is the Brim World Elite MasterCard, which is waiving its $199 annual fee. This might be the highest public offer annual fee waiver I’ve ever seen. The promotion expires on April 30, 2020, so if you are thinking about getting the card, do not think too long about.

Ongoing First Year Fee Waived Offers

The reason I post a separate list of ongoing offers (i.e. not temporary) is because there are  up is that there are 2 permanent first year fee waived offers. So they are worthy of being highlighted. Meridian Bank is the only company willing to do this at the moment. Every other company has first year fee waived offers during a specific promotion period.
