Extended 10% cash back sign-up offer + FYF

Scotiabank renewed their terrific sign up offer for the Scotia Momentum® Visa Infinite* Card, our top rated cash back card.

This offer was slated to end yesterday but is now extended until April 30, 2019. So, if you’ve been eyeing this card, now’s a great time to get 10% cash back on all of your purchases made in the first 3 months (on the first $2,000 in purchases) and get the first year free.

This a great card to consider if you want the best of the best when it comes to cash back. You’ll get an unparalleled 4% on gas and groceries, 2% on drugstores and recurring bills, and 1% on everything else.

Once your first year is over, it has an annual fee of $99, and income requirements of either $60,000 personal or $100,000 household.

30,000 bonus points + no FX fees

That’s not all Scotiabank has for you. The offer for the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Card has been increased, up by 5,000 points from the previous offer.

Get 30,000 points as part of signing up after spending $1,000 in 3 months.

Those points are good for $300 for any travel booked through Scotia Rewards.

After that, earn points at the following rates:

  • 2 points per $1 spent on groceries, restaurant, entertainment, and transit purchases, and
  • 1 point per $1 spent on everything else.

If you’re a big spender, you’ll get a really great boost in bonus points.

And each year you reach $40,000 in annual spend, you’ll get an additional 10,000 bonus points. And, for every $10,000 you spend above that, you get 2,000 more bonus points.

But, what really makes this card great are the perks.

The biggest one? It saves you the typical 2.5% foreign transaction fee charge, a rare, sought-after feature. In fact, it’s our top rated no foreign exchange travel card card on the market right now.

It comes with 12 types of insurance to cover you while travelling. Plus, you get a Priority Pass membership with 6 free passes per year. All for an annual fee of $139.

If you travel frequently (especially outside of Canada) and want a good all-around credit card, this offer ends on June 30, 2019.

I applied for this card in March after seeing the extension for the momentum card, and now they are not honouring the promotion extension and saying it was over Feb 28... Do you have any screenshots of the extension from their website by chance?

Thanks for the article. I am concerned about this: "Those points are good for $300 for any travel booked through Scotia Rewards." normally scotia rewards points can be used for any travel purchase on the card, regardless whether it is through Scotia rewards or now. Is this no longer the case? Thanks, Eduard

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Eduard. Yes, you can use your points for any travel purchase. However, if you book from any provider, you have to have enough points to cover the entire transaction, partial redemptions are not allowed when used this way. If you redeem through Scotia Rewards, you can use points for a partial payment. Your point will be worth the same as well.
