Much like the earlier Scotiabank card on this list, this card earns Scene+ points which can be used to directly offset travel purchases at one cent per point in value. What makes this card stand out, however, is that is has no foreign transaction fees - a rarity here in Canada.

This is certainly one of the best starter cards for Canadians. Not only does it have a low monthly fee, but it also earns valuable Membership Rewards points that can be transferred to airline and hotel programs. It's a valuable card without the high price tag or fuss of a premium card. *All information about the American Express Cobalt® Card has been collected independently by Daily Drop.
