Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses for June 2019

A few minor changes, primarily to TD’s portfolio. The majority of the other cards expire at the end of the month or in October. So if there is a product that you have been contemplating, watch out for the month end deadline.

Featured Card

The TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card extended its 80,000 sign up bonus and first year fee waived offer, so they continue to be the featured card of the month.

  1. Hi Matt,
    Sign up bonus is not my main motivation but finding the card that meets my needs. That said, the following are my criteria:
    1. Trip cancellation
    2. Rewards that can be converted into different program, such as avios
    3. No foreign transaction fee
    4. Hotel status benefit

    My understanding, only Amex Platinum has hotel status benefit but at the same time, it doesn’t provide no foreign transaction fee and I can’t justified paying their annual fee.

    That said, if I’m willing to not have hotel status benefit, what credit card would you recommend that meets the other 3 criteria?
