The Best Cash Back Credit Card Welcome Bonus Offers for February 2024

Here are Rewards Canada’s Top 5 Cash Back Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of February. This is not a ‘best’ credit card list like our recently released Top Cash Back Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards that have very good cash back welcome bonus sign up offers. This list includes cards that may not be considered as your typical cash back cards but have cash back rewards as part of their offerings.

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.
