The Rogers Red Mastercard is an entry-level cashback card, but approval for premium variants and even the base card typically requires a stable credit profile.

ClearFin estimate on Canada's 300–900 scale. This is not an issuer cutoff or approval guarantee; lenders may use different bureau scores and underwriting criteria. Rogers Bank does not publish an official minimum credit score. Approval depends on income, credit history, utilization, debt levels, and payment behaviour. The card is generally accessible to applicants with fair to good credit profiles.

Reward limits: Rogers Bank does not publish fixed annual or category-specific earning caps for the Rogers Red Mastercard. Cardholders earn cash back on eligible purchases based on account eligibility status (Rogers/Fido/Shaw/Comwave customer). However, effective August 4, 2026, Rogers will introduce annual limits on cash back earning rates depending on card tier, after which earn rates may reduce to lower base levels.

conditional_annual_limitAnnual earning limits apply from August 4, 2026 based on card type and account status; once exceeded, cash back earn rate may reduce to a lower tier rate.

ClearFin analysis

Our detailed review

A practical reading of where the card earns, what the fee buys, and which limits matter.

📱 2% Cashback

2% cashback on all purchases with a Rogers/Fido/Shaw service (1% without). 2% on US-dollar purchases. No fee.

How the rewards work

Dining, Groceries, Gas, Travel, Everything else receive the strongest estimated return at 2.0%. Purchases outside the accelerated categories earn an estimated 2.0%.

What the annual cost means

There is no annual fee to recover, which can make the card easier to keep for credit-history length or occasional use. Interest and other transaction fees can still apply.

Who it may suit

This card is most relevant for someone who spends consistently on dining and groceries and prefers to avoid a yearly fee.

What to examine before applying

Compare the purchase interest rate, foreign-transaction fee, approval requirements, reward limits, and insurance certificates. Pay particular attention to merchant-category rules because a store may not receive the reward rate its products appear to suggest.
