Here are the Rewards Canada Top Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers
for the month of January 2022! 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 (welcome/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 some 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 we see two first year free cards on the list.
No
change this month in the listing. Even though we had some new offers come out from BMO those just miss out on being in the top 10 for value in their welcome bonuses.
Remember as well that you will find this list smack dab in the middle of the Rewards Canada homepage for
easy reference!

welcome bonus value, calculated as our minimum mile/points value for the program minus
the annual fee)
