Rogers Red World Elite MasterCard Review

Updated on Aug 29, 2026: Starting November 18, 2026, the Rogers Red World Elite MasterCard terms will undergo major changes:

• Elimination of the 1.5x cash-back redemption value on "eligible Rogers purchases." (No more effortless 3% cash back).
• Earn 5% cash back on "eligible Rogers purchases." 
• Removal of the 5-day "Roam Like Home" benefit. It changes to an annual "Roaming Credit" for eligible Rogers mobile roaming services. (Worth $75 per calendar year, effective January 12, 2027).
• Updated travel insurance benefits (effective November 18, 2026). Out-of-province medical coverage for those under 64 increases from 10 to 15 days. Trip Cancellation, Trip Interruption, and Trip Delay coverages are canceled. Rental car insurance terms are adjusted.

Honestly, the insurance changes are minor since I never use this card for travel insurance anyway. However, losing that 1.5x redemption bonus is definitely bad news.

If you're already a Rogers, Fido, Shaw or Comwave eligible customer, the Rogers Red World Elite MasterCard isn't just a good credit card — it's essentially a no-brainer addition to your wallet.

RBC GoSmart: Get $100 when you deposit $2,000

 

GoSmart is a mobile investing platform embedded directly inside the RBC Mobile app. It strips away all the complexity of traditional online brokerage platforms and gives you a clean, simple experience focused on the essentials: open an account, add money, and start investing — all in minutes. It is designed specifically for Canadians who want to start their investment journey without needing a finance degree. There are absolutely no account maintenance or administration fees — a common pain point with traditional brokerages.

You can buy or sell any Canadian or U.S.-listed stock or ETF with 50 free trades per year across all your GoSmart accounts. That's more than enough for most buy-and-hold investors who contribute monthly. On top of the 50 free trades, GoSmart offers 53+ ETFs that are always commission-free — including iShares all-in-one ETFs like XEQT, XGRO, XBAL, and XCNS, as well as crypto and gold ETFs. These can be traded as many times as you want without using up your 50-trade quota.

You can also set up automatic recurring contributions into one of four all-in-one ETFs — just choose the amount, frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), and the RBC bank account to fund from. Want to pause? One click and it's done. This makes dollar-cost averaging completely effortless.

You could receive a cash reward of C$100 when you open your first GoSmart Account with RBC Direct Investing. To qualify, you must:

• Open your first GoSmart account(s) with RBC Direct Investing before Nov 2, 2026
• Contribute a minimum of C$2,000 to your new GoSmart account(s) before Feb 2, 2027.
• Be a Canadian resident and at least the age of majority in your province/territory at the time of opening your first GoSmart account.
