Plaza Premium Group (PPG), today announced a strategic regional partnership with Rogers Bank to transform the travel experience for Rogers Red World Legend Mastercard® cardholders. This collaboration introduces a “Red Carpet” priority service, integrating advanced technology with premium hospitality to eliminate common travel frictions across PPG’s extensive Canadian network.
As global travel demand continues to accelerate, the partnership responds to the growing desire of travelers for ease and efficiency through a fully integrated, end-to-end airport hospitality model, ensuring that comfort and exclusivity begin the moment a traveler enters the terminal.
“By combining Plaza Premium Group’s award-winning hospitality with the Rogers Red World Legend Mastercard, we are creating a true ‘Red Carpet’ experience,” said Eric Pateman, Senior Vice President, North America, Plaza Premium Group. “For these cardholders, the premium journey starts the moment they step into our lounges, where they can enjoy priority access, elevated comforts, and memorable moments before they fly.”
Through integration with the Smart Traveller app, Rogers Red World Legend Mastercard holders will receive Priority Access to PPG’s award-winning lounges. Even during peak travel periods, PPG lounge teams can identify Legend cardholders on digital waitlists, prioritizing their entry to ensure an uninterrupted journey.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Plaza Premium Group, part of our commitment to delivering premium value and experiences for Rogers Red World Legend Mastercard cardholders,” said Nick Bednarz, CEO, Rogers Bank. “Together we’re removing friction from travel, and offering our customers a more seamless, rewarding way to move through Canada’s busiest airports.”
