Credit Card Comparison - Small Business Cash Back Rewards Cards

Last Updated on January 30, 2024


Here you can compare all of the Small Business Cash Back Rewards credit cards that are available in Canada.. The charts include costs, earn rates, redemption rules, insurance, benefits and more. Please note other rewards cards that have a cash back option (like travel cards) are not included in these charts.

Recommendation: Due to the size and detail of these charts they are best viewed on a desktop or tablet.

Instructions!

Selecting which Credit Cards to Compare

Click on the icon to get a list of the cards which you can select for your comparison

If you only want to compare a couple of cards I recommend unchecking "toggle all" which will clear out all the cards (except for the very first one alphabetically) and then you can select the cards you want to compare (and uncheck the very first if you don't want to have that in your comparison)
