For those frequent flyers out there, I found this site that rates the top Travel Rewards Credit Card. This is for 2009 but I hope you might still find this useful.
According to them, the 8 years spent on research, answered hundreds of emails asking about credit cards and all the articles they answered gave them the insight to rate the credit cards. They even created categories for rating what they view as the Top Travel Rewards Credit cards in canada. The categories are as follow:
1. Top Airline Credit Card
2. Top Hybrid Travel Credit Card
3. Top Travel Points Credit Card (with annual fee)
4. Top Travel Points Credit Card (with no annual fee)
5. Top Hotel Points Credit Card
Just to sum it all up for you, here are their top choices:
• Top Airline Credit Card: CIBC AeroGold Visa/AeroGold Visa Infinite
Honourable Mention: American Express AeroplanPlus Platinum Charge Card
• Top Hybrid Travel Credit Card: Diners Club Club Rewards MasterCard
Honourable Mention: RBC Visa Platinum Avion / Visa Infinite Avion
• Top Travel Points Credit Card (with annual fee):
Capital One Miles Plus Platinum MasterCard with No Hassle Rewards*

• Top Travel Points Credit Card (with no annual fee): American Express Blue Sky Credit Card

I hope you find this useful when finding the right travel rewards credit card for you. Of course, I still encourage you to do your own research before deciding. Talk to a customer service representative, ask for a full disclosure of charges and fees.
