Eligible Rogers purchases include: your monthly Rogers, Fido and chatr bills; purchases made in Rogers and Fido branded stores; and online purchases at Rogers.com, Fido.ca and The Shopping Channel. Visit Rogersbank.com/rewards for a complete list.
The ONLY way to use it for anything else is to request a lump sum payout BEFORE Dec 1 which will be applied to your balance on the January statement. This info is not provided on the website anywhere, how dodgy is that? You want the cash back in April? Tough! August? No way! January, but you forgot to call until Dec 2nd? Too bad sucker. I was saving up for a trip to Vegas, but I’m not going in January so I’ll have to request the payment before Dec 1st this year and sit on the lump sum payout for 4 months.
