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


Here are Rewards Canada's Top Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of September 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.

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

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)
