11 days left — offer ends Jul 1, 2026.
The short version
- Scotiabank Platinum Amex: up to 80,000 Scene+ points. Passport Visa Infinite+: up to 60,000. Both expire July 1, 2026.
- The Gold Amex offer was reduced to 45,000 points and lost its first-year fee waiver, so check the current terms carefully.
- Scene+ points are worth roughly 1 cent each in most redemptions, so 80,000 is around $800 in value.
If a Scotiabank card has been on your shortlist, the clock matters this week. Several Scene+ welcome offers from Scotiabank's January refresh share a single apply-by date of July 1, 2026. Here is what is on the table and the one offer that actually got worse.
What is live
- Scotiabank Platinum American Express — up to 80,000 Scene+ points. This is the premium card of the bunch and the richest offer in the cluster.
- Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Plus — up to 60,000 Scene+ points. The Passport line is the one Canadians reach for to dodge the 2.5% foreign transaction fee on travel spend.
At roughly 1 cent per Scene+ point in typical redemptions, 80,000 points is in the neighbourhood of $800 in value, before you factor in annual fees and card perks.
The catch: the Gold Amex got cut
Not every move was up. The Scotiabank Gold American Express offer in this cycle was reduced to 45,000 points and lost its first-year annual-fee waiver. If you saw a richer Gold offer earlier in the year and assumed it was still running, it is not. Read the current terms before you apply so you are comparing today's numbers, not last quarter's.
This is a useful reminder of why dated, re-verified offers matter: an issuer can quietly trim a bonus and drop a fee waiver without much fanfare, and stale comparison pages will keep showing the old, better number for months.
Bottom line
If you want the Platinum or Passport offer, July 1 is a hard wall. Decide whether you can meet the spend requirement comfortably, confirm the exact tiers and fees on Scotiabank's own page, and weigh the annual fee against the bonus. Nothing here is financial advice, and offers change constantly, so verify every figure on the issuer page before applying.
