I thought we’d be stuck with the 30% RBC conversion bonus for the foreseeable future. I really did not expect to see the 50% bonus back again. The last time it was offered was back in the summer of 2015. I am more than happy to find out that I was wrong about this. This is a very pleasant surprise with RBC and Executive Club.
I have been ranking the overall credit card portfolios of each financial institutions. However, I think it may be worthwhile to rank business credit card portfolios only. As I have been collecting my own batch of business credit cards, this will be helpful for me too.
Another month, another list of higher than normal credit card sign up bonus promotions. As we close out the year, it does seem like we may be closing out the year strong, granted many of the current offers expire at the end of the month. This year has been a great overall year for credit card sign up bonuses, even though we’ve been seeing record high profits from the major banks.
WestJet Rewards is offering an interested fast track option that will allow you to qualify for flight benefits received by its Silver or Gold elite status members. If you qualify now, you will receive the benefits until December 31, 2017. You will have to book all your flights between October 3, 2016 and December 18, 2016.
A reader asked me last time, what the purpose was of this ranking. Basically, you do what you want with the list, take it for what it is. As a consumer, this list can give you an idea on where to shift your business. For example, if you want to see some of the smaller companies survive and thrive, you will know where to move your business.
The RBC British Airways Visa Infinite is once again offering its 50,000 sign up bonus Avios upon approval. It seems that the trend is that this promotion is offered once every 6 months or so.
It has been a few months since I last updated this list. The reason is because there was no significant shift in the industry until now.
I decided to change up my classifications a little bit. I’ve split up the credit card companies into 4 groupings:
I made a small tweak to the title to avoid confusion. This list that I put together on a monthly basis is to capture all the higher than normal sign up bonuses. For all the top current credit card sign up bonus offers, you can hover over the “Top Credit Cards” in the menu bar. There you will find a drop down menu of the credit cards sorted by categories.
Signing up for credit cards always have requirements to fulfil. The two most common ones are credit scores and meeting minimum income requirements. Today, we will focus on minimum income requirements. Usually, the common ones are $15,000, $30,000 or $60,000 personal income minimum. But there are other credit cards that are even higher and they are generally considered the “premium” credit cards, which offer a lot more perks and benefits.
This is more of a fun post about my personal feelings on credit cards with a lot of black in their design. This post is more of a continuation of a post written by Shirley back in September 2015 about the Coolest Looking Credit Cards.
