Our goal is to help Canadian readers understand which card features matter for their spending and circumstances — without claiming that one product is suitable for everyone.
We look at published annual or monthly fees, purchase and cash-advance rates, foreign transaction fees, reward categories, caps and redemption restrictions, eligibility criteria, and insurance exclusions. A card with a high rewards rate may still be a poor fit if its fees exceed the realistic value of the rewards.
We prioritise current product and disclosure pages from banks and credit-card issuers. Each card review links to an issuer page so you can confirm current terms. Promotional bonuses may expire or change before we update a page; an issuer’s live application disclosure is always authoritative. Readers can report outdated information.
For example, compare the annual fee against rewards you would earn on your actual eligible purchases. Check whether a category rate has a spending cap, whether your preferred merchant accepts the network and what happens if you carry a balance. Interest charges can outweigh rewards.
Credys is a curated comparison, not a whole-of-market search, regulated credit advice or an approval predictor. We have not directly tested or applied for every card we describe; editorial photographs show illustrative scenarios rather than customer testimonials. We may use AI-assisted drafting to organise public sources and examples, and readers should not treat that as first-hand issuer experience.
The presence of a card does not mean we are paid by its issuer. If any referral arrangement or sponsored placement is activated, we will disclose that connection transparently. See our affiliate disclosure.
