Here are the Best Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of November 2024. This is not an overall ‘best’ credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings for 2024 but instead a look at cards that have the most valuable welcome bonus sign up offers. It must be said however many of the cards in this list do rank as some of the best cards in Canada.
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.
