The SimplyCash from American Express owes much of its appeal to the fact it’s a no-fee cash back card. Rewards are straightforward, redemptions are hassle-free, and you won’t have to think about spending enough to “break even” on the card. But there’s more to the AMEX SimplyCash and why it manages to consistently make it onto our list of the best no fee cards in Canada. Namely, its strong flat earn rate (which beats out most no fee rewards cards from the big banks), up to $150 welcome bonus, and stellar side perks.
