I want to start a Summary of all GOOD Credit Card offers, so nobody has to look too hard I copied this from R F D (I'm the original creator) thinking it may benefit some here
Ground Rules
- None of the links are Referral links, so please, don't post any referral links.
- For better offers requiring referral (e.g. AMEX Platinum or Business Gold), simply ask a family/friend or me to refer you
- G C R, their links are blocked by so please Google it
- I'll try to update it monthly, it's work in progress, and I'll try to link to relevant threads if possible
- Let me know any feedbacks or comments
Card-Related Comments
- They're GOOD in my opinion for the WELCOME bonuses (e.g. I should get at least $200+ value), not necessarily good for everyone or daily usage. It also means I will NOT list EVERY card out there (like AMEX SimplyCash or Scotia Momentum)
- You should have decent credit score (700+) and income ($60,000+)
- AMEX Cards are CHARGE cards unless stated otherwise. One can have max. of 2 CREDIT cards + 5+ CHARGE cards
- If you are "churning" the same card (cancel & re-apply), I recommend minimum waiting period of 6 months. I know some do it 3 months, but YMMV. Also, I also suggest holding the card at least 6 months (some say that's when it becomes R1 status in your Credit Report, which looks better than R0, but who knows)
No Fee, or First Year Fee waived (FYF) = one should cancel before renewal)
- AMEX Air Miles Platinum Credit Card - 2000 AM, after $500 spending. FYF, $65/year after. $15K personal income. $30 cashback
Discussion - You have a personal annual income of $15,000 or more
- AMEX Gold Rewards - 25,000 AMEX MR points after $500 spending. FYF, $150/year after. $50 Cashback

- AMEX Business Gold - 40,000 AMEX MR points after $5000 spending within 3 months (30,000 points if you do NOT use a referral link). FYF, $250/year after.
Discussion - .

Perkopolis offer - 25K, FYF still , but you don't get / cashback (still a better offer IMO)
Discussion - ... 1.5X Aeroplan on gas, grocery and drugstore. $60,000 annual gross personal income or $100,000 annual household income

- MBNA Alaska Airlines MC - 25,000 Alaska miles upon 1st purchase (?). $75/year. $60 cashback
- My guess is World Elite card is $70,000 personal or a household income of $120,000. If you make less and got approved, they'll send the non-WE version
- Capital One Aspire Travel World Elite MasterCard - 10000 points upon approval ($100 value). $120/year. $250 cashback
- You meet the minimum requirement of either personal income of $70K OR household income of $120K
Good for Travel (In my opinion)
- AMEX Gold
- BMO World Elite
- TD First Class Travel
- AMEX Platinum - for its lounge benefits
