You may have noticed by now that we started adding or expanding our commentaries to our monthly posts. Today is no different as we list the top cash back credit cards currently offering at least a 10% cash back bonus promotion. There are many other cash back offers out there too, but because the market is very competitive now, only the 10% and above promotions make it to our monthly list.

Credit Cards which offer Free Airport Lounge Access (updated February 8, 2023)

ByMatt

This post was due for an update. With travel pretty much back in full swing, airport lounges are filling up again, overcrowding if anything. Part of the reason is because there are quite a few credit cards out there that offer free lounge access.

For this month, Tangerine extended its offer that expired last month to expire this month instead. The rest of the offers remain the same. 

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.

Ranking the Credit Card Portfolios of Each Canadian Financial Institutions (updated December 12, 2022)

ByMatt

For the most part, 2022 was a relatively quiet year in terms of changes to the credit card industry (in terms of permanent offers). There was a significant amount of all-time high sign up bonuses, which do not factor into our ranking system. Our rankings are based on the intention of retaining credit cards for the long term, not based on churning.
