RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Offers incredible value with a 3% effective return on everyday purchases for Rogers 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 you ahead by 0.5%.
- Includes a comprehensive suite of premium travel insurances (Medical, Trip Cancellation, Rental Car) rarely seen on a $0 fee card.
- Non-Rogers customers still earn an excellent 1.5% flat cash back rate on all purchases.
The Trade-offs
- Requires a high minimum income of $80,000 personal or $150,000 household to qualify.
- To achieve the maximum 3% effective value, you must redeem your rewards strictly against Rogers/Fido/Shaw purchases.
