Top Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for March - These cards provide the most value out of their welcome bonuses

 
Here are the Rewards Canada Top Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of March 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. 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 sees the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card move back into the top 5 and then some shuffling around of the Aeroplan cards thanks to their various new offers. Most notably the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card drops down to 6th spot as to get the entire bonus you have to wait until the you pay the annual fee in the second year.  We also see the TD First Class Visa Infinite Card make it back onto the list this month with its new offer!

Remember you will find this list smack dab in the middle of the Rewards Canada homepage for easy reference!
