Credit Card Finder: Rank Canadian Cards by Dollars Back for Your Spending

Updated

Tell us what you spend each month and how you’ll use your points. We rank cards by dollars back a year after the annual fee, for your spending. The boxes start at a typical Canadian household’s card spending (Statistics Canada); change any of them and the ranking updates as you type. If you came from the homepage, your numbers are already filled in.

Your spending, ranked

The finder ranks the cards of every issuer CardNorth reviews, each checked against the issuer's own pages.

Your monthly spending
Add detail

Split a box into the kinds of spending cards treat differently. A blank line uses the typical household's share of its box (Statistics Canada); an amount you type comes out of its box, so nothing is counted twice.

How will you use your points?
Advanced: your own value per program

Cents per point. Leave blank to use the choice above. A value you type is your assumption, not ours.

How the finder works

  1. Your spending, by group. Groceries, gas, dining and delivery, travel, recurring bills and everything else. “More categories” lets you split out drug stores, transit, entertainment, Air Canada, WestJet and spending in other currencies, taken out of the main box they’d otherwise fall in so nothing is counted twice.
  2. Each card’s earn rates and fee, from the issuer’s own pages, with the date we checked them on every card.
  3. Points turned into dollars at a stated cents-per-point value for the way you choose to redeem: flights, any travel or the travel portal, statement credit or cash, or gift cards. Under “Advanced” you can type your own value for any program.
  4. Ranked by what’s left: rewards minus the annual fee, highest first.

Welcome offers appear on a separate first-year line with their end date and never change the order. Benefits such as travel insurance and lounge access are listed as features, never counted as dollars. Promoted cards, when we have them, are never placed inside these results.

Frequently asked questions

Which cards does the finder rank?

Only cards whose facts CardNorth has checked against the issuer’s own site. Today that is the cards of every issuer CardNorth reviews: RBC, CIBC, TD, American Express, Scotiabank, BMO, MBNA, National Bank, Desjardins, PC Financial, Tangerine, Walmart (Fairstone), Simplii, Rogers Bank, Neo, Home Trust, Brim, KOHO, Meridian, EQ Bank, Wealthsimple, ATB and Canadian Tire Bank. Our best-card lists cover cards by category.

Is a card with no annual fee ever better than one with a fee?

Often, if you don’t spend much on a card. A fee only pays off when the extra rewards on your spending are bigger than the fee. Because the finder subtracts each card’s fee from what you’d earn, a no-fee card can rank above a premium card for lighter spenders. Enter your own numbers to see where the line falls for you.

Are points or cash back worth more?

It depends on how you redeem. That’s why the finder asks how you’ll use your points: the same points are often worth more toward travel than as gift cards. Cash back is worth its face value however you use it. If you redeem differently from the four choices, type your own cents-per-point value under “Advanced”.

Do I need to enter exact spending figures?

No. Round estimates work well. The ranking changes most when you move a lot of spending between groups, for example far more on groceries or travel.

Can I share my results?

Yes. Your spending and choices are kept in the page address, so you can bookmark or share the link. You don’t need an account.
