The Perks
Special Sign-Up Bonus: Kick-start your travel plans with 30,000 Scotia Rewards bonus points (worth $300 in travel) on your first purchase when you sign-up before October 31, 2014.
Accelerated Points-Earning Potential: Earn Scotia Rewards points 4 times faster for every $1 spent on gas, groceries, dining and entertainment. Receive one bonus point per $1 spent on all other eligible purchases.
Flexible Point Redemption: Card-holders benefit from an unrestricted redemption system that includes comprehensive trip coverage (including taxes and surcharges!) and the option to split the costs of your trip between redeemable points and additional charges to your card – which earns you even more points! When booking travel arrangements outside of Scotia Rewards’ travel agency, any points earned can also be redeemed online after purchase.
Exclusive Access to Travel Benefits: Available 24/7, the Scotia Rewards Travel Service is ready to assist with everything you need, from booking trips to managing dining and entertainment reservations and beyond. Card-members also benefit from discounted Priority Lounge access through a special membership fee of only $65 USD (and $27 USD per lounge visit), and from Scotia Rewards’ Low Price Airfare Alerts that monitor your itinerary daily in case a lower-priced ticket becomes available. Other travel privileges include reduced rates on car rentals and special vacation packages, as well as special luxury hotel and cruise amenities.
Comprehensive Travel Insurance: This includes coverage in case of trip interruption/cancellation, lost or delayed baggage, car rental-related damage, and in the case of theft of any personal items if your room is broken into. Primary card members, their accompanying spouse and any dependent children will also receive emergency medical insurance for up to 25 consecutive days of travel.
Who Should Apply?
