There are a variety of credit cards available in Canada, but most of them are not attracting at all. On this page, I compare some of the credit cards against some key features I am interested in. In my mind, they are among the best in Ontario. They are CIBC Aerogold VISA Card, TD First Class Travel VISA Infinite Card, MBNA Smart Cash Platinum Plus Card, and Citi Enrich MasterCard.
