Here
are Rewards Canada’s Top 5 Cash Back Credit Card Sign Up offers for
the month of May 2022. This is not a ‘best’ credit card
list like our Top Cash Back 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.
Here are the Top 5 Cards for this month in order of value:
