RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Offers excellent business-specific perks like Cyberscout identity protection and unlimited 24/7 hotline access to My Friendly Lawyer.
- Provides a 3% effective return on everyday purchases for Rogers business customers, all with no annual fee.
- Earns a massive 3% cash back on U.S. dollar purchases, effectively negating the 2.5% FX fee and putting your business ahead by 0.5%.
The Trade-offs
- Eligibility is incredibly strict: it is currently limited entirely to sole proprietors (corporations and partnerships cannot apply).
- Requires a high minimum income of $80,000 personal or $150,000 household to qualify, which may be difficult for new sole proprietors.
