Editor's Review
Aside from the $120 annual fee (paid in monthly increments), the Cobalt™ Card allows you to earn more rewards for your spending, especially if you like spending on food.
Whether it's a grocery store, restaurant or bar, you can earn five points for every dollar you spend, plus two points for every dollar spent on gas, travel, and transit. Compared to most rewards cards in Canada, that's a bargain. It has an extensive welcome bonus where if you spend $500 each month on your card, you get 2,500 rewards points, adding up to 30,000 for the year. You can also score 7,000 bonus points for each approved referral. Points can be redeemed on a wide variety of things including flights, streaming services, movie tickets, retail, and more.
The Cobalt™ Card includes comprehensive insurance coverage including out of province or country emergency medical insurance, $250,000 travel accident insurance, and seven other policies. It also affords you hotel credits, upgrades, and other travel benefits. Ideal for millennials or people with active social lives, the American Express Cobalt™ Card rewards you for doing the things you like to do.
