I assume they will have new reward plans available soon but would love to know if anyone knows what might be coming. Anyone know if people who submitted an application before July 1st, but don't have access to the LOC yet (need to sign paperwork) can still receive the points?

Yup you can! You just need the credit cards to start receiving points (not the LOC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicineLCS Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I'm finishing the process now and was told the offer hasn't been renewed yet but I could still get the points somehow. Go and ask your advisor nicely and see what they say. Scotia wants you to spend money, and bonus points offers are normal, so why not?

I reside in the GTA and was told by one of the advisors here that I wouldn't get the welcome offer/points. Later (after July 1st), I reached out to an advisor in Ottawa, Kyu Tompkins (kyu.tompkins@scotiabank.com), and he basically set up the account + bonus perks within like 2-3 days. It really depends on who you talk to. I'd ask around, but highly recommend him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Plus, if you open the Account by August 31, 2020 you can earn a 30,000 Scotia Reward point bonus with your first $1,000" is in the terms and conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they will have new reward plans available soon but would love to know if anyone knows what might be coming. So I just spoke with my advisor. The 5,000 welcome points are gone with the Infinite Passport card, but both other offers (the 30,000 bonus points with first $1,000 eligible purchases in the first 3 months, and the 10,000 annual points with $40k+ eligible purchases) are still active. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attyb1992 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I went with the Scotia LOC, but I am reading that some of you were able to receive the Passport Infinite? My advisor was fairly adamant about not being eligible for it anymore as of February, however, it seems that the eligibility requirement is being waived? Would anyone who received the Infinite be willing to share their advisor's contact information (can PM if you'd like)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepywood Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Are the automatic interest payments with Scotia really that helpful? What is stopping someone that isn't with Scotia from setting up automatic payments to cover their interest payments? I realize the interest amount isn't fixed (whereas automatic payments are), but since people must already do this for rent payments, why not just add extra for the interest by some amount that over-estimates it? Yes, you'll pay interest on the extra money you use to over-estimate by, but I can't imagine it would be an amount that is note-worthy, especially if you clean this money up periodically by moving surplus back to the LOC.

So you can set something up that overshoots the mark, and then adjust it as the amount on the LOC goes up, or the interest rate changes, and stay on top of it even when you are busy. It is just an unneeded annoyance but not a deal breaker. You just don't want it to get a bunch of stupid NSF changes because of a miscalculation etc. LostLamb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you take this into account?: 5,000 bonus points will appear as a points adjustment on the Primary cardholder’s Scotia Rewards Account statement within 2 statement cycles of your first card purchase provided the Account is open and in good standing.

goldielocks Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 Has anyone been able to get the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege waived? Or any other perks they asked for and succeeded in getting. Also wondering for Scotiabank LOC customers, what extra perks were you able to ask for?

All I see is that you can get a maximum of 40k bonus rewards (30k with $1000 purchase, and 10k if you spend another $40000 lol) with the Visa Infinite Card Can you give us a link to the 5000-point welcome bonus Oh the 5000-point bonus is specific to the Healthcare+ LOC program I think. There they say that the Visa can earn up to 45000 Bonus points (which includes the 5k Welcome Bonus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
