Top Cash Back Credit Card Offers for March 2020

Amid all the travel bans, yesterday we wrote a post about whether it makes sense to switch over to cash back credit cards instead of continuing to earn miles and points, which is a great seaway into today’s post.

All the CIBC and National Bank offers came to an end last month and they did not extend, so the list really trimmed down significantly this time around. TD switched around its offer but the next significant offer coming to an end this month is the Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card with its no annual fee, $250 sign up cash back bonus. So if you are still thinking about this card, I would go for it now. The BMO offers are also coming to an end this month.

  1. The BMO CashBack MasterCard might be more appealing to some after the new earning tiers become effective in June. Instead of earning 1% on all purchases, you will earn 3% cash back on groceries (up to $500 monthly spending), 1% cash back on recurring bills (up to $500 monthly spending), and 0.5% cash back on all other purchases.

    The current welcome offer on the BMO website says it ends on Oct 31st: Get up to 5% cash back in the first three (3) billing cycles from the account open date up to a maximum of $2,000 ($100 cash back) and a 1.99% introductory interest rate on Balance Transfers for 9 months with a 1% transfer fee.
