5% Cash Back Offer Description and Conditions: You will earn 5% cash back on the first $6,500 in eligible purchases you spend on your new Account within the first 3 months of the Account open date (the “Promotional Period”). Eligible purchases include purchases (less any refunds, returns or other similar credits) but do not include payments, cash advances (including balance transfers and cash-like transactions), interest, fees or other charges. After the Promotional Period, you will earn regular cash back on eligible purchases at the regular cash back rate (the “Cash Back Program Rate”) described in the Scotia Momentum® for business VISA* Cash Back Program Terms and Conditions (the “Program Terms”). The 5% Cash Back rate for any category is made up of the sum of: (i) the regular Cash Back Program Rate (variable by categories as set out under the Program Terms); and (ii) a “Cash Back Bonus Rate”. Cash back earned under this Offer will be credited to your Account in 2 installments so long as your Account is open and in good standing at time of payout of each: Bonus Cash Back: The amount earned under the Cash Back Bonus Rate will be credited to your Account within approximately 7 months from the Account open date; and

1. Regular Cash Back: The amount earned under your regular Cash Back Program Rate will be credited to your Account according to the redemption terms as set out under the Program Terms.

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.

EXAMPLE: If the Regular Cash Back Program Rate for shipping/accounting services category is 2% then the Cash Back Bonus Rate will be 3% for that category so that you will earn a total of 5% on the amount of all eligible everyday purchases in that category during the Promotional Period.

If you make $2,000 in eligible everyday purchases in the 2% Cash Back category, your cash back earnings will be credited to your Account as follows:

1. the Cash Back Bonus earnings of $60 (3% x $2,000) will be applied to your Account within approximately 7 months from the Account open date if you have met the Cash Back Bonus conditions and then available for redemption (min $25) as per the Program terms applicable to your Account, and 
2. the Regular Cash Back earnings of $40 (2% x $2,000), will be applied to your Account and available for redemption (min $25) as per the Program terms applicable to your Account.

All other terms and conditions of the Program Terms continue to apply during the Promotional Period.

Introductory 2.99% Balance Transfer Rate Offer Description and Conditions: The Introductory 2.99% Balance Transfer Rate Offer (the “BT Rate Offer”) applies only to eligible balance transfers, subject to the conditions below. This introductory rate applies for 6 months from date of Account opening (the “Promo Rate Period”). After the Promo Rate Period, the introductory 2.99% interest rate on any balance transfers made during the Promo Rate Period will increase to the preferred interest rate on cash advances (currently 22.99%). There is no balance transfer fee applicable to balance transfers made during the Promo Rate Period.  This BT Rate Offer is subject to the approved credit limit on your Account as of the date of this BT Rate Offer. This means if a balance transfer amount(s) requested exceeds your approved credit limit as of the date this BT Rate Offer was provided to you, it may not be processed. This BT Rate Offer cannot be used for any Scotiabank account including to transfer a balance from another Scotiabank account, or to make a payment or deposit to another Scotiabank account.  All other terms and conditions of the Program Terms continue to apply during the Promo Rate Period.

Losing your promotional rate: If we don’t receive the minimum payment on your Account by the payment due date on your statement, two consecutive times, you will lose the benefit of this promotional BT Rate Offer and the interest rates that apply on any unpaid balance will increase to the standard annual interest rates that apply to your Account (currently 25.99% on purchases and 27.99% on Cash Advances).   

How we apply payments: Your payment cannot be applied to the balance(s) of your choice: In general, if you make a payment that exceeds the minimum payment on your statement, we will apply your payment on a proportionate basis among each group of billed charges on your Account. We group charges based on the interest rate that applies to the group of charges. See your credit card agreement for more information about how we apply payments to your Account.

Rates and Fees: The current annual fee is $79 for the primary card and $29 for each additional card (including those issued to co-borrowers and supplementary cardholders). The current preferred annual interest rates for the Account are: 20.99% on purchases and 22.99% on Cash Advances.
