Rogers Credit Card

I'm not as big fan of Rogers, but I've used them for 30+years for internet access in Mississauga as they have always had a good price. Latest deal is 1.5 GB download, unlimited, for $60/m, $67.80 with HST. I buy nothing else from Rogers, just internet.

I really don't need 1.5 GB speed and would be happy with 150 or 250 MBPS, but Rogers' contrived pricing puts this over $100/m so the 1.5 GB is a better deal.

Neighbor mentioned that Rogers cashback credit card pays 2% on all transactions, but this base rebate is grossed up by 1.5 to net 3% when applied to Rogers' services. Which is actually a great deal.

We use zero cash and pay everything by credit card. So every month I redeem the full $67.80 for my Rogers bill and use the balance of the 2% rebate to apply to other charges.

If you have all of, or a combo of, Rogers cable + internet + cell services then the 3% rebate would be great value.

I could have been taking advantage of this for years, but you don't know what you don't know.
 
I have had one for years they just asked if I wanted one no application needed. I also have never paid any credit card interest.

I applied online and got approval in a few days.

I don't think there is anything special about the card, anyone with a decent credit score should have no issue. In 45 years of credit card use I've paid exactly zero in interest. I always pay off my card monthly so they're not making any extra money off of me.

I'm also a deadbeat with a close-to-perfect credit score, and I qualified. I think they care more about your total household income more than anything else.
 
I left rogers a year ago but 5 roam like home days are a nice bonus. They were priced competitively at the beginning but they are expensive now.
 
Around now (BF) and Christmas/Boxing Day they usually come out with some pretty good deals. This time last year I signed a 2 year contract for 2 Mbps at $60/mo. They also gave me a $50 account credit and then I get the extra 3% cash back from the credit card. When it expires next year, I expect similar "best offers of the year" to be available, so I shouldn't have to beg for a one-off deal through retentions (why I originally avoided Rogers).

Did that while running some volume through the cards and had them close those accounts with the excuse that they believed that i was using the card for commercial purpose.
Would have thought that that the vendor service fees alone would have been enough to keep them happy.

I made thousands in points when Visa had the deal going with GM. I didn’t have a company card. There was a back door way of selling the points as well.

Me too, no credit debt and every card is paid in full early. They make money on vendor percentage for usage as well although they would love to make it on the interest. Something is better than nothing.
