Top 5 Cash Back Credit Card Sign Up offers for March - These cards provide the best value out of their welcome bonuses

Here are Rewards Canada's Top 5 Cash Back Credit Card Sign Up offers for the month of March 2021. This is not a 'best' credit card list like our Top Cash Back 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.

New increased welcome bonus for the Scotiabank Gold American Express card of up to 40,000 Scotia Rewards points

 
A lot of our readers ask us frequently as to whether Scotia will provide a boosted welcome offer on one of their best cards, the Scotiabank Gold American Express card. Well we are happy to tell that as of today the card sees that increase! The initial welcome bonus is seeing a boost of 5,000 points to 30,000 when you spend $1,000 on the card in the first three months of having it. Then if you can spend $7,500 within the first year (I know for a lot of our readers that's easily achievable) you'll receive 10,000 more points! The card does have a $120 annual fee which you do have to pay in the first year. This new welcome bonus of 40,000 points is worth $400 towards any travel but we'll value it at $280 since you do have to pay that annual fee right away.
