Scotiabank® Scene+™ Visa* Card cardholders will earn points for purchases made with their Scotiabank® Scene+™ Visa* Card (“Card”). A Card must be connected to a Scene+ membership account to earn points on purchases made on the Card. Points are not awarded for cash advances, balance transfers, Scotia Credit Card Cheques, returns, refunds or other similar credits, payments fees, interest, service or transaction charges on the Card. Some conditions and limitations apply. Visit www.scotiabank.com/scenevisa for complete details.
Offer Description and Conditions: The 5,000 Bonus Scene+ Points Offer (the “Offer”) applies only to new Scotiabank Scene+ Visa credit card accounts (“Account”) opened by October 31, 2024 and is subject to the below terms and conditions.
To be eligible for 2,500 bonus Scene+ points (the “2,500 Point Bonus”), you must open a new Account by October 31, 2024 and have at least $250 in eligible purchases posted to your new Account in the first 3 months of the Account open date. To be eligible for an additional 2,500 bonus Scene+ points (the “Additional 2,500 Point Bonus”), you must have at least $1,000 in eligible purchases posted to your new Account in your first 3 months of Account open date. Eligible purchases include purchases (less any refunds, returns or other similar credits) but do not include payments, cash advances (including balance transfers or cash-like transactions), interest, fees or other charges.
The applicable point bonus will be credited approximately 2-3 business days after the qualifying amount in eligible purchases (i.e., $250 or $1,000) has been posted to the Account within the first 3 months of the Primary cardholder’s Account open date, provided the Account is open and in good standing. For Joint Accounts with a Primary Borrower and Co-borrower, the applicable point bonus will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the Account of the borrower that completed the last transaction to meet the qualifying amount of eligible purchases (i.e., $250 or $1,000). If a supplementary cardholder completes the last qualifying transaction, the applicable point bonus will be credited to the Primary Borrower’s Scene+ account. Points can be transferred between Primary and Co-Borrower or Supplementary Cardholder’s Scene+ accounts by contacting Scene+. The Account is considered in good standing if it is not past due or over limit and the Cardholder(s) is not in breach of the Revolving Credit Agreement that applies to the Account.
