Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for September - These cards provide the best value out of their welcome bonuses


Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for this month! This is not a 'best' credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards for small businesses 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.

Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for June - These cards provide the best value out of their welcome bonuses


 

Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for this month! This is not a 'best' credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards for small businesses 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! And remember this list is based on minimum value towards travel which we calculate as the minimum value of the welcome bonus less the annual fee. It is entirely possible to receive more value out of the welcome bonuses on all of these cards since they earn Aeroplan points -  which can provide some huge outsized value rewards!

The American Express card with the best initial welcome bonus right now is the Business Gold Rewards Card

 
Just a few short days we saw eight of American Express Canada's consumer and business cards come out with new welcome bonus offers that are lower than previous offering. However there was one card from American Express that retained the same increased bonus as it is had through most of the spring and that card is the American Express® Business Gold Rewards Card

New 35,000 RBC Rewards point welcome bonus on the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Business Card

 Back in April RBC revealed new 35,000 bonus point welcome offers on their consumer Avion cards, namely the  RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card as well as the RBC Avion Visa Platinum Card and the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege. Noticeably absent at the time was no increased bonus for the business version of the card. That's changed now as the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Business Card is also now offering a 35,000 RBC Rewards Points welcome bonus. You simply have to be approved for the card and the bonus is yours.

Changes coming to the American Express Business Gold Rewards Card


The next card in line from American Express that is getting some changes is in their suite of small business cards and that is the American Express® Business Gold Rewards Card. This week Amex quietly announced some changes to the card that has been chugging along in its current form for quite some time now. The changes that were revealed affect points earning, insurance benefits and the annual fee seen on the card.

American Express Small Business Cards: A new offer on the Aeroplan Business Reserve

Earlier in the week we brought you the updated card offers on Amex's five consumer cards that were part of their previous best ever offers and now here are the details of the two business cards that were also part of that previous promotion. The two small business cards are the American Express® Aeroplan®* Business Reserve Card and the Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Card
with the Aeroplan card seeing a new offer while the Marriott card's offer has been extended. The latter card is the only one that retains the best ever offering that we saw for those five or so weeks of Amex running that promotion.

New increased welcome bonus of 50,000 points + first year free on the BMO Rewards® Business Mastercard®


BMO's mainstay premium small business card, the BMO Rewards® Business Mastercard® sees the return of it's 50,000 point welcome bonus which ran for the latter half of 2020 all the way into February of this year. The 50,000 bonus points are awarded when you spend $5,000 or more on the card in the first three months of having it. On top of that the annual fee of $120 is waived for the first year of having the card. That means you basically get those 50,000 points at no cost outside of the spending that you actually put on the card.

Awesome new welcome bonuses on American Express Small Business Cards!

You can definitely tell that American Express has returned to the business of acquiring new customers in 2021. After spending most of 2020 focusing on existing cardmembers rather than acquisition we have seen Amex increase the welcome offers on many of their consumer cards and now today we see their three proprietary small business cards get major boosts for new customers! Those three cards are the American Express Business Edge™ Card , Business Platinum Card® from American Express and the American Express® Business Gold Rewards Card

One week left to grab the 50,000 bonus point offer on the BMO Rewards® Business Mastercard®

If you have had your eye on the BMO Rewards® Business Mastercard® you'll want to make sure you apply for it between now and March 1. After that date the welcome bonus will drop by a significant amount although retain a first year free offer. Currently the card is offering 50,000 BMO Rewards Points when you spend $5,000 on the card in the first three months along with no annual fee in the first year.

A look at the new Air Canada Aeroplan small business co-brand credit cards

 

 Next up in our coverage of the new Air Canada Aeroplan program is our look at the small business co-brand credits for the program. We'll cover all the cards here in one post rather than an individual post for each card like we did for the consumer cards.

There are two levels of business cards that are offered for the Aeroplan program. American Express is the issuer of the higher end business card while TD and CIBC are offering what I would consider as mid-level cards as they don't provide as much as the American Express card but aren't entry level cards either.

Earn an additional 5 points per dollar on Marriott purchases with the Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card

American Express Canada and Marriott have teamed up to provide a limited time points earning boost for holders of the Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card. From now until January 3, 2021 cardmembers can earn an additional 5 Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar spent with Marriott. This means you would earn 10 points per dollar spent as the card's base earn rate on Marriott purchases is 5 points per dollar. That's a huge boost and the crazy part of the promotion is that non-Marriott stay purchases such as buying Marriott gift cards or merchandise purchases from Marriott count as well. So even if you aren't planning any Marriott stays in the next two months you could always order gift cards from them for those future travels of yours. The promotion is open to all Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Cardmembers including those who apply for and receive the card during the promotional period.

Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for October - These cards provide the best value out of their welcome bonuses

 


Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of October 2020!  This is not a 'best' credit card list like our Top Travel Rewards Credit Card rankings but instead a look at cards for small businesses 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 four first year free cards on the list! And remember this list is based on minimum value towards travel which we calculate as the minimum value of the welcome bonus less the annual fee. It is entirely possible to receive more value out of the welcome bonuses on some the cards below namely those like Aeroplan and Marriott. 

I should note there is one other business card to take a look at and that is the Business Platinum Card from American Express. If you know someone who can refer you to it you can get a pretty big bonus of 75,000 points when you spend $7,000 on the card. The card does have a $499 annual fee so it's minimum travel value is $251 but you can boost that by converting to Aeroplan which would give a minimum $401 value.

Here are our top 5 small business credit card sign up offers for October:

Minimum value: $357
This card is offering 50,000 points when you spend $5,000 on the card in the first three months. On top of that they are waiving the $120 annual fee in the first year which means you get the full value out of those 50,000 points which when redeemed via bmorewards.com for travel will net you just over $357.

Minimum value: $350
This card awards 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points which are awarded after spending $1,500 on the card in three months. Those points are worth at least $500 in our minds which means after subtracting the annual fee you are coming out ahead by $350. In reality you can pull even more value out of the card (into four figures) as we outlined in our post A look at how The Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card provides huge value!  Don't forget you get an annual free night with the card as well on the card anniversary date! 



Minimum value: $330
Like the other BMO Business card on this list, this card comes with a first year annual fee waiver which means the 3,000 AIR MILES welcome bonus comes at no extra cost. You'll receive 1,000 bonus miles on your first purchase and 2,000 more miles if you spend $5,000 on the card in the first three months of having the card. We value AIR MILES Reward Miles at no less than 11 cents each when you redeem for travel so that puts this welcome bonus value at a minimum of $330.

If you went for all these cards you ultimately could end up with over $1,700 in travel credits but even if you only take on one or two you are helping your travel budget significantly 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.
