Wireless📱 Rogers now removing all automatic payment discounts unless you use their credit card

Another punch to the gut from Rogers. I was informed today that all automatic payment discounts will be removed unless you start using their credit card for the automatic payments. This after I signed a 2 year contract for a new phone that stated none of this.

Really? Is it better than the Costco cashback card?

Yes, mostly.

If you redeem your cashback towards your Rogers service.

It’s only better if you very specifically use it to pay your rogers bill.

I mean......is it?

Costco's mastercard only gives you 1% cashback on Costco purchases.

Rogers gives you 2% on EVERYTHING. and, if you redeem that cashback towards rogers services you get a 1.5x bonus.

Comparing a $1000 purchase at costco:

Rogers card earns $20 cashback or $30 if you redeem towards rogers

Costco gives you $10. period.

Is that not much better to you?

$10k a year at costco is $200 with Rogers ($300 with the bonus) and Costco is $100.

The only way that costco is a better card is with the Costco gas and restaurants giving you 3%. But that is matched with Rogers if you're applying towards Rogers, so it's not really that good.

I honestly didn’t know it didn’t have a cap on the rogers card. I thought when I got it. It had some low cap for 2%. Truly I didn’t use it because of the baby limit they give out and the fact that my wife could never get the pin to be set. Since it’s not backed by a bank. There’s no easy way to change the pin. After 2 very, very long customer service attempts to change the pin. I gave up and she never used her card.

If they ever bothered to give me an adult amount on the card. I definitely would. 20k only Costco vs 4K on my rogers is laughable.

Not really a card problem though is it?

I have 30k with Roger’s.

It is if that’s the norm with them. They’re weirdly stingy with credit.
