Current 10% Cash Back Portfolio for September 2021
This 10% cash back monthly post is being published 1 day earlier than normal because both the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card and Tangerine World MasterCard have an offer that expires today. So we wanted to give everyone one last reminder to apply for it if you are thinking about it. Meanwhile, the Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite Card offer that expired last month has been extended.
On a side note, CIBC dropped its 10% cash back offers. Note that even though there was no expiry date on their offers, it also meant that they can terminate the promotion any time without notice.
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.
Note that we have split up the list into temporary (limited time) and permanent offers (indefinite, but can end any time without notice).
