Top 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 2022. 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.

OFFER EXTENDED: 450 WestJet dollars + $0 companion fare when you get the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard


 

WestJet and RBC have further extended the combined offer of 450 WestJet dollars  + $0 companion fare on the WestJet RBC World Elite Mastercard. The 450 bonus WestJet dollars are awarded when you spend $5,000 in the first three months and the $0 companion fare voucher is typically added a few weeks after you pay the annual fee on the card. The offer has been extended for new applications until May 2, 2022. WestJet has taken a different approach here than Aeroplan who have removed their Buddy Pass offers on their cards in keeping this $0 voucher offer going. It's a great opportunity for some big savings if you know you will booking travel for two or more people.

Great new offer of up to 50,000 Bonus Aeroplan Points and no annual fee in the 1st year with the TD® Aeroplan® Visa Infinite* Card


Solo travellers rejoice! After nearly a year and half there is a bonus on the best airline card in the Canadian market and second best overall travel rewards card that doesn't involve a companion! Just like the Amex cards last week, TD's Aeroplan co-brand cards have moved to strictly a points only bonus instead of points + bonus buddy pass. Yes, there was a period where you could convert Buddy Passes to points so at that time I'm sure lots of individuals, solo, single travellers grabbed the card then but if you didn't now's the time you can do so. I really shouldn't say this new offer is just for solo travellers - this offer is just as great for couples, families or whomever, it's just that the old Buddy Pass offer was more conducive for non-solo travellers.
