Not so elite or worldwide...
No ITF in USA as they charge it and give it back with 3% cashback....net 0.5% cashback.

BUT charge ITF of 2.5% on ALL other countries! So much for elite and worldwide!

Technically speaking, there are 11 other countries that use the USD as their currency (according to Investopedia). I wonder what happens if you use the Rogers red world elite card in those countries (e.g., Ecuador) when it comes to foreign exchange fees?

According to the product page Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard, the 3% cash back is based on the currency and not the country. The 2½% foreign exchange fee applies to all non-Canadian dollar transactions, including US$ ones:

1. Rogers customers: You will earn 2% cash back rewards on all eligible purchases and 3% cash back rewards on eligible purchases made in US dollars if you are a Rogers, Shaw or Fido customer with an eligible service and your accounts are in good standing. …

  Non-Rogers customers: You will earn 1.5% cash back rewards on all eligible purchases and 3% cash back rewards on eligible purchases made in US dollars. …

… Foreign currency transactions are converted to Canadian dollars at the rate established by Mastercard International in effect on or after the date of the transaction and no later than the date the transaction is posted to the account plus an amount equal to 2.5% of the transaction amount after it has been converted to Canadian dollars.

Rogers has a new web page design for their Red Mastercard, and for the life of me I cannot find a button to download a pdf copy of my monthly bill on the new layout.

Has anyone found a location to download pdf's of monthly bills on the new web site design? If so, could you help point the rest of us to that location?

I've put in a query through their online message system, and will report back when I hear from a Rogers Bank representative, too.

It’s there! But not as conspicuous as it should be.

I made a post yesterday about the Costco Canada card. This revamp of Rogers Red now shows each purchase and the dollar value of the earned reward. Was wondering if all my purchases are eligible or not. They all have a reward. The odd thing…I receive 1.5% and in reading what gets what I can’t figure out why 1.5% !!

Was reviewing to see if Costco card was better or not.

BTW. If you have 2 cards….you have to look at each card for reviewing rewards earned.

Edit. Have not made any USA purchases and don’t have any Fido, Shaw or Rogers products/subscriptions.

Just saw your screen shot of where to look for the Rogers pdf bill.

As for Rogers vs. Costco cards, if you have a Rogers mobile phone, you get 3% back on all purchases charged at Costco. This beats Costco's own card in all categories.

Any more clues about where the pdf bill download is located on the rogers Bank web site would be appreciated. What category is it hidden under, for example?

See pic that I added.

I found it, but had to reduce the magnification on my web browser from 100% to 80% to have that line appear on my screen. At 100% magnification, which is helpful for my eyesight, that circled line of text is nowhere to be found, at least not in Firefox's browser.

Thanks again!

I cannot download any statements from Rogers. Get error message with advice to try later.
Roger-Statement-download-message.gif

Have reported the problem Sep 8 to Rogers and it has been sent to back office for resolution. No reply yet.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I got an ill times message from Rogers Bank, just after my April statement was already posted. It said:

Thank you for being a valued Rogers Bank customer. We are writing to let you know that as of Apr‌il 6, 20‌26, we have updated your April statement to include important information about upcoming changes to all Rogers Bank credit card accounts.

Please review your statement by signing in to online banking at http://www.rogersbank.com or the Rogers Bank app.

Thank you for choosing Rogers Bank.

My statement was printed on April 5, one day before these changes were announced. Has anyone gotten a clear presentation of these changes in their latest statement, that they could share?

Thanks, in advance.

Rogers Bank Legal has this link IMPORTANT NOTICE: Upcoming changes to Rogers Bank Credit Cards.

Looks like Rogers Bank is capping the earn rate for their cards other than the Rogers Red World Legend Mastercard:

WE’RE MAKING SOME CHANGES TO YOUR ROGERS BANK CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT

Thank you for being a valued Rogers Bank customer. We are writing to let you know about upcoming changes to your Account and legal documents to: (i) change the standard interest rate for Purchases and Fees; (ii) update the definition of Cash-Like Transactions; (iii) implement tiered rates for earning cash back rewards for the Rogers Red Mastercard, Rogers Red World Mastercard® and Rogers Red World Elite® Mastercard; and (iv) enhance our disclosures. The interest rate changes will apply for most customers as of their August statement. All other changes described in this notice will take effect on August 4, 2026. Please review the details below carefully.

We are amending the Rewards Program Terms and Conditions for the above Cards to introduce and implement tiered rates for earning cash back rewards that will be based on annual spending. Depending on which Card you hold, a different Annual Cap on spending will apply to your Account. If your Annual Spend in your Annual Spend Period exceeds your Annual Cap (each as defined below), then your applicable rate for earning rewards points will be lowered. The table immediately below is for illustrative purposes only. Please refer to the details below for the terms and conditions of the tiered rates for earning cash back rewards that are specific to your Card.

...

Rogers Red Mastercard Rogers Red World Mastercard Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard
Annual Cap $16,000 $26,000 $61,000
Eligible 2% Customer - Below Annual Cap

These definitions are from the Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard Benefits Guide:

Eligible 2% Customer means: (i) you are actively subscribed to at least one Eligible Service; and (ii) all relevant Rogers, Fido, Shaw or other applicable accounts are in good standing.

Eligible Service means an Eligible Rogers Mobile Service, Eligible Fido Mobile Service or Eligible Home Service.

Eligible Fido Mobile Service means a postpaid Fido-branded consumer wireless plan of which you are the primary account holder. Wireless home phone and tablet data plans are included. Business Plans are excluded. Co-Branded services and plans with other brands including chatr, Rogers or Shaw do not qualify unless we communicate otherwise.

Eligible Home Service means a plan for any Rogers, Shaw or Fido-branded internet, TV, home phone, home monitoring or satellite services of which you are the primary account holder. Business Plans are excluded. Co-Branded services and plans with other brands do not qualify unless we communicate otherwise.

Eligible Rogers Mobile Service means a postpaid Rogers-branded consumer wireless plan of which you are the primary account holder or a user who has permission to make changes (i.e. a Level 1 Authorized User). Wireless home phone and tablet data plans are included. Business Plans are excluded. Co-Branded services and plans with other brands including chatr, Fido or Shaw do not qualify unless we communicate otherwise.

Meh. Niche aspect and a known drawback. For me, the Rogers World Elite MasterCard is my primary credit card now, and most of my transactions are Canadian currency posted transactions. My domain name renewals, issued in USD or converted to CAD by the domain name registration provider, go to the American Express SimplyCash credit card. I'm okay with the foreign currency conversion fee as the transactions themselves are quite small. sf-cool

Rogers Red World Elite does it for most of our Canadian transactions, and that is why we have that card. I don't much care about ex-Canada transactions.... We have a USD card for the US. IOW, the changes have no real impact on us.

The upcoming Annual Cap is $61,000 for the Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard. The reward rate is unaffected for those who don't spend more than $61,000/year with the card.

Or use a variety of cards for different purposes. Our annual credit card charges are often into 6 figures but we have yet to exceed $60k on any one card.
