Best credit cards in Canada

Beta version — June 2023

Getting new credit cards is one of the best ways for Canadians to travel more for less.

It’s how we easily get over a thousand dollars in travel rewards every year ourselves, all the while improving our credit score and getting plenty of other awesome travel benefits.

The key is to choose cards among the best credit cards in Canada (offers change constantly) and to always pay balances on-time and in full.

Here’s our monthly ranking, which focuses mainly on our Flytrippers Valuation of the credit cards’ welcome bonuses alone, since that’s what will be the same for any type of traveler—and because that is what is most important to maximize travel rewards.

(More details about how the ranking works or our Flytrippers Valuation.)

Flytrippers ranking of the best credit card offers in Canada (June 2023)

These are the best of the best, the credit cards with the highest welcome bonus offers in Canada right now. You can’t go wrong with any of these credit cards that all offer at least $405 in travel rewards with their welcome bonuses alone, but we help you choose below too.

You can watch our detailed video about the best credit card offers in Canada this month (and come see the next one on May 3rd).

Best credit cards in Canada for groceries

Best credit cards in Canada for easy fixed-value travel credits

While variable-value rewards are the best to maximize the value you get, some prefer easy fixed-value travel credits that can be applied to any travel expense for a lot more flexibility (and are okay with sacrificing value for that). These are the best current offers for easy “eraser”-type points.

You can read our detailed page about the best credit cards in Canada for easy fixed-value travel credits (coming soon).

If you do, fixing that should be your #1 financial priority (the yearly thousand dollars in travel rewards you can get with credit cards should be good motivation). But if you are carrying a balance, in the meantime these cards will at least help you save on interest by doing a transfer.
