Why a ranking specific to British Columbia?

Card eligibility and availability can vary from one province or territory to another. Futello evaluates every card for the selected jurisdiction and sets aside those without confirmed eligibility there.

The ranking shown is specific in British Columbia and to the selected filter combination: another spending type, another level or excluding American Express can produce a different Top 3.

How is this ranking established?

Futello compares each card separately using its published data, the selected spending type and level, and the jurisdiction. Eligibility is verified in British Columbia; when American Express is excluded, that constraint is applied before ranking. Annual fees are included in net value.

  • 84 eligible cards were evaluated for this scenario.
  • Results calculated on September 21, 2026. Official sources verified through September 21, 2026.

What is different in British Columbia

  • British Columbia has many Costco warehouses (Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan), which keeps the Costco card relevant in the “Costco” scenario.
  • For residents who shop in the United States, the “Foreign currency” and “Travel” rankings are often more telling than the default ranking.
