Rogers Red World Mastercard vs Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard
Two cards, one Standard Score rubric. The Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard scores higher overall at 6.7/10, but the right pick depends on which components match your spending.
The verdict
StrongBoth are free and pay 2% for Rogers, Fido, Shaw or Comwave customers; income decides which you can get. The World Elite needs $80,000 personal or $150,000 household income and gives more for it: the 2% runs to $61,000 a year instead of $26,000, the no-service floor is 1.5% instead of 1%, U.S.-dollar purchases earn 3% instead of 2%, and it adds travel medical and rental car cover. The World card's bar is $50,000 personal or $80,000 household. Rogers allows one card per person, so if you clear the World Elite's bar, take it.
