Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for January – nearly $1,400 in travel rewards with these cards

Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of January! 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 (sign up) offers. As always when choosing a card
you should always take other factors into account other than the
just sign
up bonus, but when most or all of these cards are first year free, they
can and
do pay off even when you grab them strictly for the sign up rewards. 
This month all five cards have no annual fee in the first year so you
can try
them out at no cost and
decide later on if the card is right for you.

This month sees the return of the CIBC
Aventura Visa Infinite card as the great sign up offer the HSBC World Elite Mastercard is now gone.

Here are our top 5 credit card sign up offers for January (in alphabetical order)

companion fare when you redeem for flights and the value jumps even
higher. Even if you aren’t a

standard sign up bonus of 20,000 points upon approval and another 20,000
if you spend $1,000 on the card in first 90 days having it. Those
40,000

on
one or two you are helping your travel budget significantly at no cost
other than regular credit card spend
