Top 5 Cash Back Credit Card Sign Up offers for February - These cards provide the best value out of their welcome bonuses

 

Here are Rewards Canada's Top 5 Cash Back Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of February 2021. 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.

Only one change this month from last and that sees to the return of the 10% cash back offer on the CIBC Dividend Visa Infinite Card which puts it back on the list. This change knocks out the American Express Cobalt Card from the Top 5 into 6th spot.

Here are the Top 5 Cards for February in order of value:

BMO CashBack World Elite Mastercard  - 10% cash back on all purchases up to $2,000 (Apply here)
Welcome offer cash back value: $200

The card does come with a first year annual fee waiver on the primary card and allows to redeem as little as $1 cash back at anytime for a statement credit.
Minimum Income: $80,000 (individual) or $150,000 (household)

Between these five cards there is over $1,200 in cash back welcome bonus rewards! However even if you only take on one or two you are helping your finances at no cost other than regular credit card spend. We don't really recommend getting all five in one month unless you know you can meet the minimum spend for them all at once, rather you'd want to pick one or two right now, perhaps another next month and so on.
