This was posted by the offical Globe and Mail account on another site.
Here is a quote of that post:
This is Bianca from the Globe, I’m an audience editor who works closely with our investing and personal finance teams. I wanted to share this valuable resource that I think many of you will find handy – and yes, with the special links in this post, there are no paywalls. Woohoo!
In 2024, we started our inaugural Globe’s Big Guide to Credit Cards and we ran it back again at the end of last year, so here is our comprehensive guide to Canadian credit cards.
Our consumer affairs reporter, Mariya Postelnyak, interviewed a handful of credit-card super users to learn their tips and secrets, and you can read those here.
This is the guide for people interested in cash-back cards.
This is the guide for balance transfer cards.
And this is the guide for travel cards.
If you’d like to read the methodology behind how we came up with the rankings, you can find that here.
Each guide has a customizable tool at the bottom that allows you to figure out the best cards for your individual circumstances – you just need to add your income or family income.
If you have any questions, I’ll try my best to respond in the comments and if I can’t answer them myself, I’ll reach out to our personal finance and data teams and get back to you.
They’re all American
Reminder that these rewards are paid by the interchange fees that credit card processors charge to the companies accepting them as payment. Australia and the EU have legislatively capped interchange fees, which helps keep prices down, but ends up limiting these reward perks. I would love to see Canada try to bring down those fees too, but I worry consumers would object to losing their rewards.

These are all American!
Jokes aside this is a serious global issue, especially with the…gestures vaguely everything going on there. I read the article and it has some good info, I’m just frustrated with how tied to the Yanks the rest of the world is.
I feel like the article could just be a recommendation for whatever Amex matches your spending (likely Cobalt) plus a no cost cashback card for the occasional place that doesn’t take amex.
