Rogers World Legend

Annual Fee and Income Requirements

Let's start with the basics. To qualify for this card, applicants need to have a personal annual income of $150,000 or a household annual income of $200,000.

Unlike current Rogers credit cards, the Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard comes with a $495 annual fee, it also charges an additional $95 per authorized user. That said, if you use the Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard's perks to their full potential, you can effectively offset the yearly cost.

Cash Back Program

The Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard now earns cash back globally, rewarding purchases from every corner of the world.

Expect:

  • 2% cash back on all eligible purchases globally if you have an eligible Rogers service
  • 1.5% cash back on all eligible purchases globally without an eligible Rogers service
  • 1.5x redemption bonus when you redeem your cash back for Rogers purchases

When used optimally by a qualifying Rogers customer, the Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard yields a 3% cash back value.

The Mastercard Collection

With the simultaneous introduction of The Mastercard Collection, Canadians travelling abroad now have access to a suite of globally connected dining, entertainment, and travel benefits via Rogers World, World Elite, and World Legend™ Mastercards. Unlock ticket access and discounts in over 120 countries, including concerts, preferred seating options, and Priceless Experiences. Local benefits will become available throughout 2026 and beyond.

Travel Perks

What pairs well with a travel-friendly rewards program? Premium travel perks, of course.

Below, we've put together a brief breakdown of the Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard's best travel benefits.

To complement its global cash back program, the Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard avoids the 2.5% foreign transaction fee typically tacked on to foreign purchases. In fact, when you optimize global spending via the rewards program, you don't just save on foreign purchases, you profit from them.

Instead of the 5 Roam Like Home days featured on the Rogers Red World Elite Mastercard, the Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard offers 10 Roam Like Home days every year, as long as you have an eligible Rogers mobile plan.


Unlike a typical e-SIM solution, when travelling abroad, Roam Like Home keeps your primary number active, allowing for incoming and outgoing texts and calls, plus full access to your Canadian data allotment, at no extra cost (a $180 value).

Nothing says pampering quite like airport lounge access, and at last, the Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard makes this pre-flight hospitality possible, without having to pay for every entry.


Each year, Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard cardholders receive 6 complimentary Plaza Premium Lounge passes, unlocking access to Plaza Premium lounges across the globe. Priority access lets you skip the line, avoiding chaotic terminal congestion. Once inside, indulge in up to 3 hours of in-lounge comfort, plus complimentary shower access, 15% off premium drinks, and a free Rogers Red welcome cocktail. The best part? You can share this experience with up to 4 travel companions.


Want to switch things up? Use one of your passes to visit a Vino Volo location and enjoy an expertly curated dining experience and wine flight (a $45 USD value). Perfect for when you want to satisfy your palate or when Priority Pass lounges are at capacity.

Ready for a road trip? With a complimentary Avis President's Club upgrade, the highest publicly available loyalty tier, Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard cardholders receive a two-car-class upgrade for vehicles midsize or above and a dedicated support phone number. Service is also expedited, allowing you to go directly to your car at most locations, by-passing the rental counter completely.

Join Soho Friends using the Rogers Red World Legend™ Mastercard to unlock worldwide Soho House bedrooms at preferred rates, plus a USD$100 credit towards your stay. Membership also includes late checkout and room upgrades.
