For this month, the few offers that will be expiring in early April will not make it to next month’s list. TD offers that expired recently were changed and now ending in either May or July.
Also noteworthy is that the Plastk Secured Visa Credit Card has a decent first year fee waived offer for Canadian students looking to build their credit score.
Compared to last month, Tangerine extended is 10% offer till the end of this month, while Scotiabank pushed its offer to May 1st.
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.
For this month, Scotiabank and RBC were the ones who had offers expiring last month. However, both companies slightly modified and extended all their promotional offers that ended last month.
Top Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses
For this month, all the promotions that expired last month were extended. Brim and Laurentian Bank extended its offer last month to expire this month, while HSBC pushed it to early April.
That leaves several Scotiabank offers expiring this month.
For this month, Tangerine dropped their 15% cash back off that expired last month down to 10%, which expires this month.
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.
Scotiabank has several offers ending this month. The RBC British Airways bonus is coming to an end. If you have been contemplating them for a while now, now is as good a time to get them as any!
Top Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses
I cannot believe that it has been almost 7 years since I last updated this post. There is no question that this post can use an update, especially considering how much gas prices have gone up over the last 12 months in Canada.
The better strategy is still to purchase gas using a credit card to meet minimum spend requirements for new promotional sign up bonuses.
For this month, several offers are coming to an end, notably the HSBC offers. Aside from that, Canada has a healthy amount of first year fee waived promotional offers overall with BMO, Scotiabank and TD leading the way. Hope to see other companies jump on board!

The most frequently asked question that I get when talking to people is: “What is the best credit card?” This is a very subjective question where the answer varies depending on the person’s priorities.
At the beginning of the month, we predicted that the cash back market is going to heat up this year. So I am expecting to be very busy with updating this monthly post this year. To start the year off, the two Tangerine 15% cash back offers end this month, while Scotiabank has added its Momentum card to the list.
