There have been a slew of credit cards being discontinued in Canada. The trend seems to be co-branded credit cards. So now I am wondering if it would make sense to shift towards a cash back credit card portfolio rather than focusing so much on earning miles and points.
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. Thankfully, instead of cancelling our points, they will be transferring the rewards to the Rogers Platinum MasterCard cash back account, assuming that you have the credit card.
Rogers Bank releases its first credit card, the Rogers First Rewards MasterCard this year acting as a loyalty token for Rogers affiliated clients.
