The verdict

Strong

Two fintech cash-back cards, split by whether you'll manage a plan. The Rogers Red World Elite is set-and-forget: 2% on everything for Rogers/Fido/Shaw customers (1.5% without), 3% on US dollars, no annual fee; Neo's World Elite charges $149, gates on an $80K income, and pays 3-5% only within monthly caps, and only inside whichever of its three reward plans your card is on (switchable once every 90 days), plus travel insurance and a DragonPass membership (discounted lounge entry, not free visits). Attentive spenders who will work the plan can beat 2% with Neo; everyone else keeps the free, effortless Rogers card.
