Get $450 with the new ScotiaBank American Express
WHAT: Basically, after making one purchase on the ScotiaBank Amex card, you’ll get 15,000 points, which is worth $150 in travel credit. These points are not like Aeroplan. You simply pay for a trip and then credit the points towards the trip on a 1 point = 1 cent basis. HOWEVER, after using the card to book any kind of travel (a hotel, a bus, a flight, etc), you’ll also get a $300 statement credit that can be used for any purchases.
KNOW: The first year fee of $99 is waived! However, the $300 statement credit doesn’t seem to be mentioned on the website but it was in a special email to me. So, if you decide to apply, I recommend calling first and telling them about the $300 credit a friend told you about. If the $300 credit is not available, the card is not worth the hassle in my opinion, although you would still get $150 towards travel.
