Earlier we detailed the awesome new bonus offer for the Scotia Gold American Express Card and as mentioned in that post there is also a new offer for the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite card. The new offer for the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite card sees it retain the up to 40,000 points we’ve now seen since late 2020 but now Scotia has sweetened the detail by making the card free in the first year for primary and secondary cardholders and adding an limited time accelerated earn rate on travel purchases. When you are approved for and receive the card you can will earn 5x Scotia Rewards points on travel purchases made in the first three months of having the card up to $2,500 in total. That could equate to an additional 12,500 points (or a 5% return on those purchases when you redeem them for travel) Here’s the direct wording from Scotia on how this is awarded: To qualify for 40,000 bonus Scotia Rewards points, make sure to:Open a new Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite credit card account by October 31, 2021…Great news!

That didn’t take too long at all! Over the past few months we here at Rewards Canada have been providing you with coverage of how Priority Pass and LoungeKey would be losing access to all Plaza Premium lounges in Canada and how that affects some of our credit cards. And then only a few days ago we posed the question as to who would be the first Canadian card issuer to drop Priority Pass/LoungeKey and move to a different program like Dragon Pass. The great news is we have a partial answer to that question and it is not just one issuer but a select few that offer Visa cards. Before we give you the details let’s give a big thanks to our reader Raffaele F. for alerting us to this news!Here are links to our past articles on this topic if you want more background info:Reminder that all Canadian Plaza Premium lounges leave Priority Pass and LoungeKey tomorrow Sorry for the bad news – It is now confirmed that Canadian Plaza Premium lounges are leaving Priority Pass & LoungeKey Major News: Priority Pass and LoungeKey losing access to most Plaza Premium lounges worldwideA look at the Canadian airport lounges that may be left for Priority Pass and LoungeKey come July Let me start this off by saying these cards aren’t dropping Priority Pass as we posed in our question but they have struck a deal with Dragon Pass and Plaza Premium to provide access to all Plaza Premium lounges Worldwide including those in Canada for the next year until June 30, 2022…Best ever offer for the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card – Up to 50,000 bonus points + first year free

The latest issuer to jump into to mix is Scotia with two new offers revealed today on their two primary Scotia Rewards cards – the Scotia Gold American Express Card and the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite card. In this post we’ll look at the Gold Amex offer and follow up with a separate post on the Passport Visa offer.The new offer for the Scotia Gold American Express Card sees a record high 50,000 bonus points coupled with no annual fee in the first year on primary and supplementary cards. Those 50,000 points are worth $500 towards any travel that you book via any method and charge to the card. The bonus is broken up into two separate requirements. the first 30,000 points are awarded when you spend at least $1,000 on the card in the first 3 months and then you can earn an additional 20,000 points when you spend at least $7,500 in your first year of having the card…
