UPDATE- Added the Plastk card to the list as well, expires April 30, 2022. 

For this month, TD had multiple offers expiring, which are now modified and now have new May and September end dates. We published this post a day earlier than normal because the HSBC offers end today, while RBC has 2 offers that are expiring later this month.

Top Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses

The cards are listed by expiry dates, with the most recent one first. We included specific months so that it is easier to find the information. If there is a tie-break in terms of expiry day, then it is sorted by annual fee (lowest to highest), then alphabetical order.
