As someone who appreciates both the convenience and comfort of premium travel, I’m always interested in credit cards that go beyond rewards and enhance the overall journey. The recently launched Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite Privilege Card* has been designed for Canadians who see travel as an experience to be elevated. With a $250 annual travel credit, 10 complimentary airport lounge visits, no foreign transaction fees on international purchases, a comprehensive insurance package, VIP services and curated experiences, the card is clearly for those who value travel as a lifestyle, especially in how rewards are earned and redeemed.
This card has a lot to love, especially the up to 80,000 bonus Scene+ Points welcome bonus with minimum purchase (worth $800 in travel value), and the 6X earn capability when booking through Scene+ Travel, Powered by Expedia.
