Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of June! This is not a ‘best’ credit card
list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards that have very good acquisition offers. As always when choosing a card
you should always take other factors into account other than the sign
up bonus, but when most or all of these cards are first year free, they
can and
do pay off even when not taking into account insurance packages and
other non-reward benefits. In fact all the cards on this list for June are first year free so you can try many of them out at no cost, get
well over $1,000
in rewards and
decide later on if the card is right for you. All the while earning the
sign up bonus which can be used to subsidize your travels! Just ensure
you drop any cards you don’t like before your 1st year anniversary.
This month the new Best Western 60K offer from mbna knocks out the Starwood card from Amex. The rest of the cards remain the same although the offer on the TD Aeroplan card is lower but somewhat alleviated by our exclusive offer on the card and the Amex Gold Rewards now requires $1,500 in spending instead of $500.
So here are our top 5 credit card sign up offers for June (in alphabetical order)
American Express Gold Rewards Card – 25,000 Points (Apply here)
A mainstay offer here on Rewards Canada, the American Express Gold
Rewards card has its first year fee of $150 waived and will award you
25,000 Membership Rewards points when you complete $1,500 in spending in
the first three months. That 25,000 points is worth a $250 travel credit
via Amex’s TripFlex feature or can be converted to 25,000 Aeroplan
Miles (1 Round trip Economy Award ticket within North America) or 25,000
British Airways Executive Club Avios (as much a 3 one way Economy Award
tickets in North America, see this post for details.)
American Express Air Miles Platinum Credit Card – 2,000 Reward Miles (Apply here)
A newcomer to our monthly Top 5 sign up offers, the American Express Air Miles Platinum card comes first year free and
comes with a 2,000 Reward Miles sign up bonus when you complete $500 in
spending in
the first three months. That 2,000 Miles is worth anywhere from $220 to
$300 in flight value when you get around to redeeming them.
Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa – 30,000 Points (Apply here)
The best no foreign transaction fee card in Canada makes it to this list
due to a very strong acquisition offer. I mean who can complain with
30,000 points awarded on approval and a certificate for a free night
stay at a Category 1-4 hotel for a potential of 5 free nights, all at no
cost as the card has the annual fee waived in the first year! They also
give you a 15 night credit into the mix which automatically provides
you with Marriott Rewards Silver Elite status.
mbna Best Western Rewards MasterCard (Apply here)
Right now there is an offer for up to 60,000 Bonus Western Rewards points with this card! With no annual fee to boot! We detail the offer in this post that shows just how much value you can pull out of the card with this 60K bonus!
TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card – 15,000 Miles (Apply here)
Earn up to 20,000 Bonus Aeroplan Miles and a 100% rebate off your first
year annual fee when you apply for and receive the TD Aeroplan Visa
Infinite Card. 15,000 Bonus miles awarded on first purchase. PLUS A REWARDS CANADA EXCLUSIVE – For every $1 spent on eligible gas, grocery,
drugstore and aircanada.com Purchases with your Card5, earn double
Aeroplan Miles for the first 90 days after Account approval – that’s 3
miles instead of 1.5 miles for every $1 spent on eligible Purchases. The 5,000 additional miles for the authorized user come with a $50 cost for that additional card.
If you went for all these cards you ultimately could end up with over
$1000 in travel credits and hotel free nights but even if you only take on
one or two you are helping your travel budget significantly at no cost
other than regular credit card spend
