ScotiaGold Passport® Visa^* Card

Rates and Fees: The current annual fee is $110 for the primary card and $30 for each additional card. The current preferred annual interest rates for the Account are: 19.99% on purchases and 22.99% on cash advances (including balance transfers, Scotia® Credit Card Cheques and cash-like transactions). 

 

All rates, fees, features and benefits are subject to change.

Points are not awarded for cash advances, Scotia® Credit Card cheques, credit vouchers, returns, payments, annual membership or card fees, interest charges or service transaction charges.

You are awarded one (1) Scene+ Point for every $1.00 in recurring bill payments that are charged and posted on your ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card Account for housing, condominium or rental payments made online on or through the eligible online platform (the “Casa Platform") owned and operated by The Casa Company Inc. (each such recurring bill payment referred to as “Casa Housing Spend”) only if there is also an additional monthly amount of at least $350.00 in purchases of goods and services [IB1] charged and posted to your ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card Account in that same month in addition to your monthly Casa Housing Spend (the “Additional Casa Spend”).  We will identify the Casa Housing Spend made through the Casa Platform based on MCC of housing rental (6513) and merchant “CASA*PROPCO”.  A “recurring bill payment(s)” (including one-time bill payment) means a pre-authorized payment made on a monthly (including one-time in certain cases) or regular basis that is automatically charged to your credit account that you establish directly with a merchant to make a payment to that merchant from your credit account.

 

If at least $350 or more in Additional Casa Spend is not achieved in any month, no Scene+ Points will be awarded for any portion of the Casa Housing Spend for that month.

 

Casa Housing Spend does not include Purchases, Cash Advances (including Balance Transfers, Scotia Credit Card Cheques or Cash-Like Transactions), fees, interest or other charges on the ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card Account, payments (other than the Casa Housing Spend), or returns, refunds or other similar credits. 

 

Please allow up to  60 days for the Scene+ Points earned on Casa Housing Spend to be applied to your Scene+ membership account after the month in which the Casa Housing Spend and the minimum Additional Casa Spend was posted to your Account. In some cases, your monthly ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card Account statements for the relevant month may not reflect the most up-to-date Scene+ Points earned on Casa Housing Spend. For the most up-to-date information, you can log into the Program Site where Scene+ Points balances are updated daily for your Scene+ Account based on the transactions that have been posted to the Scene+ Account as of that date. [MK2] In the event that the Casa Housing Spend for which Scene+ Points were allocated is dishonoured or returned for any reason, Scene+ Points allocated for such Casa Housing Spend will be deducted automatically from the Scene+ Account. Your Scene+ Points balance will be reduced by the equivalent number of Scene+ Points issued for the original Casa Housing Spend.  Also, in the event that any portion of a purchase that comprises your Additional Casa Spend is returned and/or exchanged for which Scene+ Points were allocated, in addition to your Scene+ Points balance being reduced by the equivalent number of Scene+ Points issued for the returned or exchanged for that purchase,  this will also result in the deduction of any Scene+ Points allocated to your Casa Housing Spend if the minimum Additional Casa Spend of $350 was not achieved.

 

Some exclusions in locations may apply for which Scene+ Points will not be earned on Casa Housing Spend. Contact Scotiabank for details.
