Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of April 2021! 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. 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. This month we see three first year free cards on the list
The same five cards are on the list this month as last but two welcome bonus changes took place that made some of the cards shift spots. The first change was the increased welcome bonus on the venerable Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card - now offering 60,000 points and a $120 statement credit means you have at least $600 in value from its welcome bonus. The second change sees the lowering of the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard welcome offer to 350 WestJet dollars + the $0 companion fare so it drops to fourth place in value - still it's a great deal since you literally only have to spend $1 on the card to get the bonus.
Editor's Note:
As travel is curtailed right now these offers are more
forward looking and can and should be used towards your long term
travel plans - whether that's later this year, next year or even beyond.
Getting the cards now allows you to achieve the sign up bonuses as you
wish and then continue to spend to build up those points and miles
balances to make those future vacations that much better. - Or in the
case of all the cards except the WestJEt Mastercard you can also
look at cash back or cash back equivalents like gift cards from each
program if you are looking at short term financial help. If you are
going for the latter focus on the cards that have no fee in the first
year so that you can maximize your value.
Remember as well that you will find this list smack dab in the middle of the Rewards Canada homepage for
easy reference!
