Top 5 Small Business Credit Card Sign Up offers for December - 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.

Here are the Rewards Canada Top 5 Cash Back Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of December 2020!

This month we see six of the seven cards offering the first year free.

OFFER EXPIRED Last day to apply - TD Cash Back Visa Infinite* Card with 10% cash back on all purchases with first year no annual fee for new cardholders

Remember if you have a TD All Inclusive bank account it also covers the annual fees on these cards as long as your bank account is active and in good standing.
