Here are Rewards Canada’s Top Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of October 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. 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.
Here are our top credit card sign up offers for this month (in order of welcome bonus value, calculated as our minimum mile/points value for the program minus the annual fee)
