How to
1% CASH BACK EARN RATE: You will earn 1% Cash Back on eligible Purchases on your Account at Grocery, Gas & Gas Stations, Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations, Transit, Rideshare, Food Delivery, Drugstores and Pharmacies, and on Recurring Bill Payments. 1% cash back applies at merchants which are classified in the Visa Inc. (Visa) network as Grocery Stores & Supermarkets, Drug Stores & Pharmacies, Service Stations (with or without ancillary services), Automated Fuel Dispensers, EV charging stations, Transit, Rideshare , Recurring Bill Payments and Food Delivery (includes transactions made via eligible food delivery services selected by Scotiabank which is subject to change.) (Merchant Category Codes (“MCC”): 5411, 5541, 5542, 5552, & 5912, 4111, 4112, 4121, 4131, 4789). Recurring Bill Payments are defined as payments made on a monthly or regular basis automatically billed by the merchant to your Account. Recurring Bill Payments typically include telecommunication, insurance, membership, subscriptions purchases. Not all merchants offer recurring payments. (Please check with your merchant to see if they offer recurring payments on credit cards.)
Annual Spend Limit on 1% Earn Rate Categories (the “Accelerated Earn Rates”): The cashback that can be earned on eligible purchases under the 1% earn rate categories (the Accelerated Earn Rates) will be capped at $15,000 in spend annually. See 'Annual Spend Limits' in the 'Cash Back Program Terms and Conditions' for more information at scotiabank.com/terms/momentumnofee.
0.5% CASH BACK EARN RATE (the “Regular Earn Rate”): You will earn 0.5% Cash Back on eligible Purchases made on your Account after you have reached the annual spend limit of $15,000 on the 1% earn categories (the “Overflow”) and on all other eligible Purchases made with the Account.
Cash Advances including balance transfers and cash-like transactions fees, interest, returns, refunds or other similar credits do not qualify for Scotia Momentum® Cash Back.
All merchant category codes /merchant codes (“MCC”) are subject to change by the payment network associated with your Account (the “payment network”) or how they are classified by the payment network and/or the merchant. We do not monitor MCCs assigned by the payment networks or how merchants categorize themselves and their transactions. MCCs may be changed by the payment networks or the merchants at any time. Some merchants may sell their products/services or are separate merchants located on the premises of other merchants. These merchants might be classified differently by the payment network in another manner, in which case, they may not qualify for Cash Back (including if you have an Accelerated Earn Rate that applies to your Account for certain Purchases).
Your Account must be open and in Good Standing to earn and redeem Cash Back (including at the time of any Cash Back redemption request).
A minimum of at least $25.00 in Cash Back must be redeemed each time you request a redemption using the Cash Back Anytime redemption feature. Only the Primary Borrower or a Co-Borrower on an Account can ask for a Cash Back anytime redemption (not a supplementary Cardholder). If the Primary Borrower or Co-Borrower does not have an Eligible Bank Account, Cash Back will be credited to the Account. Cash Back can be redeemed through the Scotia app (mobile) or Scotia Online, once the Cash Back balance is posted/ made available (unless we permit you to redeem through another means).
