Credit Card Questions

How do I choose the right credit card?

Consider your spending habits. If you spend more on groceries, a cash back card is best. If you travel frequently, look for travel rewards. Our quiz helps you find the perfect match.

Do I need excellent credit to get approved?

No. We have cards for all credit levels—excellent, good, fair, and even building credit. Check the requirements for each card.

What's the difference between points and cash back?

Cash back is real money back (usually 1-4%). Points vary in value and are often best used for travel (1-2 cents per point).

Can I have multiple credit cards?

Yes! Many Canadians carry multiple cards to maximize rewards across different categories. Just manage them responsibly.

Is there a fee to apply?

No, it's always free to apply for a credit card. Annual fees are listed on each card—many offer no annual fee options.
