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. All other terms and conditions of the Program Terms continue to apply during the Offer period. Offer may be changed, cancelled or extended without notice at any time and cannot be combined with any other offers.

The current preferred annual interest rates for the Account are: 20.99% on purchases and 22.99% on cash advances (including balance transfers and cash-like transactions). All rates, fees, features and benefits are outlined in the Application Disclosure Statement and are subject to change.

Scotia SelectPay is an installment plan feature (the “Plan”, “Installment Plan” or “SelectPay”) made available on eligible Scotiabank credit card accounts (the “Eligible Account(s)”) that allows primary cardholders to convert an eligible credit card purchase of at least $100 in Canadian dollars (including taxes) posted to the Eligible Account to an Installment Plan with monthly payments over a fixed payment period (the “Installment Payment Period”) with a fixed interest rate (the "Installment Rate") during the Installment Payment Period that applies to that Plan.
The total amount of your Installment Plan will be divided over the months you selected in your Installment Payment Period in monthly installment payments of equal amounts over a fixed period, except for the last installment payment, which may be higher or lower than the other installment payments, due to rounding.
No installment plan fee (the “Installment Plan Fee”) applies to these Installment Plans.
The Installment Rate and installment Payment Period may vary per Plan and will be disclosed to you at the time you select the Plan.
All Installment Rates and applicable Installment Fees and other applicable terms of Installment Plans are subject to change. Installment Plan offers cannot be combined with any other offer.
The Installment Rate that applies to your Plan will apply during the Installment Payment Period to the amount of your Eligible Purchase converted to a Plan on the date the Plan is processed (the conversion date) to your Account. Prior to that conversion date, the annual interest rate on Purchases that applies to your Account will apply to that Eligible Purchase from the transaction date.
If we do not receive payment of the full balance (the “New balance”) by the payment due date that appears on your statement in the month in which the Eligible Purchase was posted to your Eligible Account you will lose the benefit of your interest-free grace period on that Eligible Purchase and any applicable interest during that time will then apply at the annual interest rate that applies to Purchases on your Eligible Account from the transaction date until the conversion date.
You may lose the benefit of the Installment Rate and your Plan could be cancelled if we do not receive payment of your monthly minimum(s) payment applicable to your Plan (the “Current Installment Payment”) by your payment due date while your Plan is in effect (as set out in your full SelectPay Installment Plan terms and conditions - see below for which terms and conditions apply to your Eligible Account). If that occurs, any remaining outstanding balance owing on your Plan at the time of cancellation will be subject to the then current annual interest rate that applies to Purchases on your Eligible Account
In the case of Eligible Accounts that are subject to the SelectPay Terms and Conditions after January 29, 2024, if we do not receive payment of the entire amount of your Current Installment Payment by the payment due date shown on that statement, any unpaid portion of that Current Installment Payment will accrue interest at the annual interest rate that then applies to Purchases on your Eligible Account beginning from the first day of the statement period after the missed Current Installment Payment until that amount is paid in full. You will still owe us payment of any Current installment Payment(s) due after that missed payment.
Any unpaid remaining balance on your Installment Plan (the “Remaining Installment Amount Balance”) after the Plan ends or is cancelled by you or us will be applied to the outstanding balance on your Eligible Account. Your Remaining Installment Amount Balance is again eligible for an interest-free grace period. You will not pay interest on that Remaining Installment Amount Balance if we receive payment of the full balance (the “New balance”) that appears on your statement in the month in which your Remaining Installment Amount Balance was applied to the outstanding balance on your Eligible Account. If you lose your interest-free grace period on the Remaining Installment Amount Balance, any applicable interest will then apply at the annual interest rate that applies to Purchases on your Eligible Account on that amount from the date of expiration or cancellation of the Installment Plan until the amount is paid in full.
Your Eligibility to convert an Eligible Purchase to an Installment Plan and the terms made available to you are subject to Scotiabank’s assessment at the time you request to convert your Eligible Purchase to a Plan. SelectPay is only available through the Scotia mobile banking app and Scotia online to primary cardholders on an Eligible Account.
Eligible Purchases that we identify to you as eligible for a SelectPay Plan (After Purchase Plans) must be converted to a Plan through our Scotiabank Online or Scotiabank mobile banking within the time period as described in your SelectPay plan terms and conditions otherwise those Eligible Purchases may no longer be eligible for a Plan.
See the full Terms and Conditions for eligible Scotiabank Credit cards, eligible purchases and additional SelectPay terms and conditions, which are subject to change.
