Apple Pay for Rogers Bank MasterCard

[Vtecman3]

Not really limiting. It just depends on what your needs are. But Apple Pay is definitely an added convenience.

The Apple Pay fees are standard across the board. Same fee applies to everyone.

As far as rewards I have a number of cards that offer better overall rewards than Rogers depending on where I’m spending.

Keep in mind the 4% on f/x transactions was added because now they charge an f/x fee as part of the transaction now. So it’s not 4% it’s closer to 1.5% actually.

Scotiabank AMEX Card is 5% groceries, entertainment and restaurants, Uber eats and such . 3% on gas and on things like Netflix and transit. 1% on everything else and they don’t charge me an f/x service fee.

Like I said before if Rogers says it’s costs then it’s bogus. Even more so as the World Elite is a premium card that comes with higher merchant interchange fees....they aren’t losing money on their credit Card if they are then they are seriously doing something wrong.

1.  There are cards that may offer better (limited) individual rewards, however, none offer better overall rewards.

2. Correct, but most cards are -2.5% (charge 2.5% on ForEx), so the delta to most cards is still 4%.

3. Again, individual examples.  If you don't get charged for ForEx with that card, you're still 1.5% less than Rogers.

4. Of course they're not losing money.  I just intimated that their margins may be tighter than some other cards in light of the rebates offered.

This thread is over three years old and there's still no Apple Pay or mobile app

I got my Rogers MasterCard last month and was surprised to find that it did not support Apple Pay nor does it have a mobile app (although their website says it has mobile friendly website -- but that's not the same convenience as an app IMO). How many requests does Rogers need to get on board with these now-standard features for a credit card?

Please make this a thing. It’s odd that you retail cell phones and don’t support their feature

[Blankspace]

They're bloody hypo critics, how many of those awful ads about "Roger's First" only to come out with a card that doesn't support the latest tech. It's outrageous. I'm switching back to PC World Elite.  I've given them THREE YEARS I'm done.

Just received my first Rogers Mastercard, the "world elite". . Where is Apple Pay support?! IS THIS A JOKE?!

I see this thread is more than 4 years old, and still no AP support?! 

What a joke. Totally useless for me without this feature. 

Also, I've been one hold for more than 10 minutes (the automated message said 7)... What was I thinking of trying a Rogers card?! Their customer service is a joke for internet/cable/etc.

Glad there's no fee. This card is going in the garbage.

[Surge74]

It's just plain GREED. They don't want to give Apple a share of the transactions. Hopefully with enough user complaints, this will change.

Rogers wont even give me one of these lol so i wouldn't worry

This is now painfully sad that they don't have any Mobile wallet in 2020..I have been patiently waiting for them to get it but now it is really bugging me. I am already putting a lot of my payement s to another card but now i will start looking for a premium card that offers this convenience.
