For the people who fall under this category of monthly spending ($5,000 or more), more than likely they are frequent travellers. So I will be going with the following monthly spending breakdown:
It has been a while since we last updated this list. With the weak Canadian dollar, apparently slowly recovering, I thought I’d update the list of United States affiliated credit cards offered by Canadian financial institutions.
Today, the credit card portfolio that I will be suggested is for people who spend about $2,000 a month on all their credit card bills put together. This is generally for small families of about 4 people, (2 adults and 2 children). The following is an approximate spending breakdown that I will work with:
Back in 2014, we built a suggested credit card portfolio for people who spend about $500 per month. With all the changes in the industry, I though it’s time to update my suggestion. I will also be updated my suggested portfolios for the $2,000 and $5,000+ monthly spending as well. For this portfolio, it is mostly for people who live at home with their parents, so let’s say they have this approximate spending:
I have written posts ranking each financial institution, but I thought it would be fun to write a post listing the top 1 credit card per institution. I have listed the credit cards based on the most recent financial institution rankings. Maybe one day I will list the top credit cards, but it highly depends on a person’s needs, so it is very subjective.
We just released a post about the Top Sign Up Bonuses for the month of March. But that list was primarily focused on higher than normal sign up bonus miles and points. To be fair, there are some cash back promotional offers that are worth a look. I am uncertain whether this list is going to be re-posted monthly, but you can at least stay up to date on our Top Cash Back Credit Cards page.
I did not think that I was going to be updating this post so quickly, but enough has changed from last month that it warrants an update. Every time there are some significant movements in the credit card industry, I plan on updating the rankings of this post. You will notice that under every credit card companies’ explanation for its ranking, I will be listing some of its top credit cards to choose from.
The beginning of January started off pretty week, and things started to pick up as the month went on. Below are the top current higher than normal credit card sign up bonus offers to watch out for. As a result, February’s list looks a lot more promising with a few more choices.
This is not going to be an easy post to write, but I did want to try to pin each financial institution against each other to see how they fair. This is going to be a very subjective post where I am going to rank each each company based on their overall credit card portfolio. I am also going to list out some of the top credit cards offered by each institution.
Another new month, another new list of top current higher than normal credit card sign up bonus offers. I was hoping to start the year with a bang, but instead, we have some slim pickings. I already decided to wait a few extra days to see if anything else was going to be released.
