Top Cash Back Credit Card Offers for February 2019
Most of the current offers are still carried over from last year. I hope that a strong cash back market will put pressure on airlines and hotels to step up their relationship with credit card companies.
Note that several promotions are coming to an end by the end of the month, including the impressive 10% cash back Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite Card on ALL purchases (see details below). It is possible that they may extend the offer, but if you do not want to take a chance, you will want to jump on it now.
Otherwise, the Simplii Financial Cash Back Visa Card also offers 10% cash back, but only on restaurant and bars purchases.
Keep in mind that we also have an going Top Cash Back Credit Cards page which consists of permanent and temporary offers, while this post focuses on temporary offers only. I have broken down the temporary offers into two categories.
