We track credit cards from RBC, TD, CIBC, BMO, Scotiabank, American Express, HSBC, MBNA, National Bank, and more—covering every major rewards program in Canada including Aeroplan, Avion, Scene+, Aventura, Membership Rewards, and others.

Credit Card Comparison Guide for Canadians

Best Travel Credit Cards in Canada

Travel credit cards in Canada let you earn points or miles on everyday purchases that can be redeemed for flights, hotel stays, and other travel expenses. The most popular travel rewards programs include Aeroplan (Air Canada), Avion (RBC), Scene+ (Scotiabank), Aventura (CIBC), and Membership Rewards (American Express). Each program has its own strengths—Aeroplan cards are ideal for Star Alliance flyers, while Avion points offer flexibility across multiple airlines.

No-Annual-Fee vs. Premium Credit Cards

A no-annual-fee credit card is a great choice if you want to earn rewards without paying for the privilege. However, premium cards (typically $120–$599/year) often deliver far more value through higher earn rates, airport lounge access, travel insurance, companion vouchers, and other perks. If you spend $2,000+ per month on your card, a premium card almost always pays for itself.

Foreign Transaction Fees

Most Canadian credit cards add a 2.5% surcharge on purchases made in a foreign currency. If you travel internationally or shop at US-based online retailers, look for a card that waives this fee. Several premium cards—and a few mid-tier options—offer 0% foreign transaction fees, which can save you hundreds of dollars per year.

Maximizing Credit Card Sign-Up Bonuses

Welcome bonuses are one of the fastest ways to accumulate a large points balance. Canadian banks regularly offer bonuses worth $300–$1,000+ in travel value when you meet a minimum spending requirement in the first few months. Keep an eye on seasonal promotions, as banks frequently increase their standard bonus offers during key periods throughout the year.

Are no-annual-fee credit cards worth it in Canada?
Yes—no-annual-fee credit cards can be excellent choices, especially if you're starting out or want a secondary card. Cards like the MBNA Rewards World Elite Mastercard and certain no-fee Visa cards still offer solid earn rates and perks. However, if you spend enough, a premium card's benefits (lounge access, insurance, higher earn rates) can far outweigh the annual fee.
What are the best credit cards for earning airline miles in Canada?
The best cards for earning airline miles in Canada include the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite, Amex Aeroplan Reserve, CIBC Aventura Visa Infinite, and the RBC Avion Visa Infinite. Each earns points that transfer to airline loyalty programs or can be redeemed directly for flights. The right choice depends on which airline alliance you prefer and how much you spend annually.
Do Canadian credit cards charge foreign transaction fees?
Most Canadian credit cards charge a 2.5% foreign transaction fee on purchases made in a foreign currency. However, several cards—including the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite, HSBC World Elite Mastercard, and certain Amex cards—waive this fee entirely, making them ideal for international travel.
