To assess the winners, RateSupermarket.ca converted miles, points and cash back into cash figures, examined interest rates, balance transfer rates and annual fees and carefully deciphered each product's fine print. These figures were then compared against one another, using everyday expenditures, such as gas and groceries, that the average Canadian spends over a 12 and 24-month period according to Statistics Canada. The credit cards, bank accounts and GICs that provided the most cash value were placed at the top of their category.
