Let's start with two cards - AeroPlat and Amex Personal Gold. Both have fees waived for the first year. In order to maximize your return without taking a beating on your credit limit, and of course to be approved by Amex Canada (which by many postings here indicate that Amex Canada suggests 6 months to apply for the same card again):

Quick note: The AeroPlat does NOT waive the first year free. Only Personal MR Gold or Aeroplan Gold.

Personal Gold:
Referral: 25,000 signup bonus
Self: 25,000 signup bonus + $50 from GCR

Aeroplan Gold:
Referral: 30,000 signup bonus
Self: 25,000 signup bonus + $40 from GCR
