The Rogers First Rewards program was very short lived. The telecommunications company only really got its rewards program up and running in early 2014. Less than 2 years later, they plan to discontinue the program, more specifically on December 1, 2015.

Two more credit cards are being taken off the shelf. It is one again Capital One’s turn. They have discontinued the Delta SkyMiles Gold MasterCard and the Delta SkyMiles World MasterCard.
