How to use it

  • Everything, at home and abroad: 2% with no annual cap (the free Red World Elite drops to 1.5% after $61,000)
  • Foreign currencies: 2% back and no 2.5% fee. The Red World Elite nets -0.5% on non-USD and +0.5% on USD
  • Rogers, Fido, Shaw, Comwave bills: 5% back from November 18, 2026, paid online or automatically (not in-store)
  • Entertainment credit: pay Rogers TV or streaming (or Sportsnet+, Citytv+, Discovery+) with the card, then request the $200 back in the app
  • Redeem before November 18, 2026: cash back applied to a Rogers bill is worth 1.5x until then, including cash back you already have
  • Do the math first: against the free Red World Elite, $495 pays off at about $160,000 a year in Canada ($120,000 if you use the $200 credit)
  • Example: $10,000 a year spent in euros = $200 back here vs -$50 on the Red World Elite after its 2.5% fee
