Canadian Travel Credit Card Comparison:
Cashback Credit Cards 		 

This chart is part of Rewards Canada's Guide to Choosing a Travel Rewards Credit Card
and is a comparison of all the Cashback travel rewards credit cards in Canada.
Also be sure to visit our new feature: THE ULTIMATE CASH BACK CREDIT CARD PORTFOLIO!
"Technically speaking, a Cashback credit card is not considered to be a Travel Rewards credit card but due to the fact you can apply that cash dividend towards travel makes it only fitting we include these type of cards in our guide"
