Best Ever Bonus for the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Card: Earn up to 55,000 RBC Rewards Points!

This is something we like to see!  RBC has decided to bring their flagship card into the game of bigger and better bonuses. So many other issuers have been steadily increasing the offers on their cards - many with their best ever bonuses - and even RBC has done so on their British Airways, Cathay Pacific and WestJet cards. Now, it's the RBC Avion Visa Infinite card's turn. As of today the card has a new welcome bonus of up to 55,000 RBC Rewards points which just happens to be the best ever bonus ever provided for this card.

UPDATE: The Offer page has now been updated! 

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

UPDATED: Top Travel Credit Card Sign Up offers for May - 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 May 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.

Another Ultimate Portfolio update to let you know about - this time we updated The Ultimate "I have no idea what travel rewards I want" Credit Card portfolio! This is for those people who don't have set reward goals but know they want to be earning points and miles to use towards travel at sometime in the future. This portfolio is actually more than that - it is one of the top portfolios even the most seasoned points and miles enthusiasts would consider because it consists of only hybrid rewards cards and those are the best type of cards out there! This was another substantial update as 2 of the 3 cards were switched from when we made this portfolio in 2017! The recommended American Express Card is now the American Express Cobalt Card instead of the Gold Rewards Card and the Mastercard is now the HSBC World Elite Mastercard. Both of these cards did not exist when this portfolio was first published so it was due for a major overhaul.. Plus the feature hasbeen updated to the new Rewards Canada template. Check out the updated portfolio here!

Changes coming to the flight discount benefit on the BMO AIR MILES World Elite Mastercard

Just when I had hoped BMO was done with making changes to their credit cards they go and make another one! This time it is small but significant change that is happening to the BMO AIR MILES®† World Elite®* MasterCard®*. That change affects the AIR MILES discount flight benefit, the one that offer 15% off AIR MILES flight redemptions in North America. This change will take place as of July 4, 2022 and for some it will be good, for others not so good.
