Canada's Top Travel Rewards Credit Cards 2022 - Factors
Factors for Canada's Top Travel Rewards Credit Cards for 2023
As we have stressed in the past, choosing a card is a difficult decision based on many factors including but not limited to rewards offered, benefits offered, cost and the issuing bank. We hope that with this 14th annual ranking, we will help guide consumers to finding the right credit card for them.
What makes Rewards Canada's rankings different from the rest? At Rewards Canada, we are deeply entrenched in the loyalty industry,
not just credit cards, so we take this into account for the rankings
where it is applicable. Most other rankings on the Internet only look
at the credit card itself and not the associated loyalty program or
partners, hidden tricks of the programs and much more. In fact many rankings in Canada only list cards that they earn commissions on unlike here at Rewards Canada where we look at any and all cards. For example, in the Airline Cards category we take into account
what cities the airlines and/or their partners serve in Canada and Worldwide, whether
you can redeem for premium class travel, what the redemption availability
is like with their frequent flyer program, the airline partners they have and so on. This is why
the Rewards Canada rankings are the highest regarded rankings in
Canada with the media, loyalty programs and credit card issuers.
In our rankings we look at well over 70 travel reward credit cards available to Canadians! Some
are airline only cards that put miles or points directly into your airline frequent
flyer accounts. Some are hybrid cards where you collect points that
can be used to book travel through the credit card or put the points
into a frequent flyer/guest account. Some are travel points cards, where
the points are redeemed for travel through the credit card company's proprietary rewards program while
a small number are hotel only cards that put the points directly into
your frequent guest program accounts.
