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.

With this month's offer you can redeem Miles & More miles for
round trip business class tickets for 55,000 miles. This is a ~51% discount over the regular amount of miles required for these tickets.
There are really only two options for Canadians to redeem for these and the best option here is if you are already a Miles & More member who has been collecting miles and have enough in your account to take advantage of these offers. The second option is to convert points from Radisson Rewards with a conversion rate that is terrible, at 10 points to 1 mile.
