Points and how we value them

Points become dollars at each card's best redemption. Here's the value we used, and every other way to spend them.

Loyalty program

Loyalty program

Cash back: every dollar it earns counts as a dollar, so there's nothing to convert.

We count each point at 1¢ a point, what it's worth redeemed for Entertainment, its best value. Every dollar figure above uses that value.

Our take

Why we like it

Why we like it

One of the strongest cash back cards for Canadian businesses. You get 5% on gas and EV charging, 4% on recurring bills and 3% on shipping, insurance, office supplies and telecom, each on up to $1,000 of spending per statement cycle, plus a solid 1.25% on everything else with no annual limit. The welcome offer pays up to 15% for your first three billing cycles (up to $900) and the $175 annual fee is waived in year one, which makes the first year hard to beat. The catches: you need $80,000 personal income, $150,000 household income or $250,000 in business revenue; employee cards cost $75 each; and busy businesses will hit the per-cycle caps quickly. Travel insurance is fine for short trips, but medical cover only lasts 8 days.

The standout feature is simple: no foreign transaction fees. For any business that regularly pays suppliers abroad, books international travel, or has USD expenses, this saves 2.5% on every foreign purchase — savings that add up fast. On top of that, you earn a flat 1.5 Scene+ points per dollar on everything with no caps or categories. The $199 fee is higher than average, but you get six airport lounge visits per year, solid travel insurance, and a 40,000-point welcome bonus. If your business spending is mostly domestic and you don’t travel, the fee is hard to justify. But for internationally active businesses, this is one of the best options in Canada.

3 Earn 5% cash back on Gas and EV charging purchases made at merchant locations in Canada up to a maximum of $1,000 spent per statement cycle period.

The 4% cash back includes the base earn rate of 1.25% cash back for card purchases (“Base Rewards”) and the bonus of 2.75% cash back for recurring bill payments made at merchant locations in Canada (“Bonus Rewards”). Recurring bill payments are defined as payments on a monthly or regular basis, and which are automatically billed by the merchant to your BMO CashBack World Elite Business Mastercard. Not all merchants offer recurring payments, and not all ongoing payments will be considered “recurring bill payments” and therefore may not earn Bonus Rewards. To earn Bonus Rewards, purchases must be made through merchant locations in Canada classified by Mastercard’s “Merchant Category Code” within one of the following MCC codes: 5968, 4900, 7997, 6300 & 5969. BMO (“Bank of Montreal”) cannot guarantee that any merchant offering recurring payments is classified under the applicable MCC codes and in no event will BMO be liable or responsible for any claims with respect to a recurring bill payment made at a merchant that is not classified under the applicable MCC codes. Please check with your merchant to see if your recurring payment qualifies.


5 Earn 3% cash back on shipping, insurances, office supplies, and telecommunication purchases made at merchant locations in Canada up to a maximum of $1,000 spent per statement cycle period. The 3% cash back includes the base earn rate of 1.25% cash back for card purchases (“Base Rewards”) and the bonus of 1.75% cash back for shipping, insurances, office supplies, and telecommunication purchases (“Bonus Rewards”). To earn Bonus Rewards, purchases must be made through merchant locations in Canada classified by Mastercard’s “Merchant Category Code” within one of the following MCC codes: 4214, 4215, 9402, 6300, 9399, 7339, 5111, 5943, 4812, 4814 & 4816.


6 Purchases made in all categories listed in footnotes 3, 4 and 5 after the first $1,000 per cycle will earn at the base rate of 1.25%. All other purchases made outside these categories will earn a 1.25% base rate of CashBack rewards, without limit. CashBack rewards earned are cumulative over the statement period. Award of CashBack rewards is made for purchases charged to your account (less refunds and excluding cash advances, cash-like transactions, interest charges, fees, payments, credit or debit adjustments) and is subject to the BMO CashBack Rewards Terms and Conditions for the BMO Business CashBack Mastercard. The number of cash back rewards will be rounded down to the nearest cent.


7 A maximum of 22 additional employee cards can be added to a primary cardholder’s account. Employee cards have an annual fee of $75 for every additional cardholder added to the account.

To be eligible for 30,000 bonus Scene+ points (the “30,000 Point Bonus”), you must have at least $5,000 in eligible purchases posted to your new Account in the first 3 months of the Account open date.  To qualify for an additional 10,000 bonus Scene+ points (the “10,000 Point Bonus”), you must have at least $60,000 in eligible purchases posted to your new Account in the first year (12 months) of Account open date. Eligible purchases include purchases (less any refunds, returns or other similar credits) but do not include payments, cash advances (including balance transfers or cash-like transactions), interest, fees, or other charges.  

 

Point Bonus Fulfilment: The applicable point Bonus(es) will be credited within approximately 8 weeks after the qualifying amount in eligible purchases (i.e., $5,000 or $60,000) has been posted to the Account (within the first 3 months for the 30,000 Point Bonus or within the first 12 months for the 10,000 Point Bonus) provided the Account is open and in good standing. For Joint Accounts with a Primary Borrower and Co-borrower, the applicable point Bonus will be credited as follows: (i) the 30,000 Point Bonus and 10,000 Point Bonus will be credited to the Scene+ account linked to the Account of the borrower that completed the last transaction to meet the qualifying amount of eligible purchases (i.e., $5,000 or $60,000) in the appropriate time frame (i.e., first 3 months or first 12 months). If a supplementary cardholder completes the last qualifying transaction to meet the qualifying amount of eligible purchases for the 30,000 Point Bonus or the 10,000 Point Bonus, the applicable point Bonus will be credited to the Primary Borrower’s Scene+ account linked to the Account. Points can be transferred between Primary and Co-Borrower or Supplementary Cardholder’s Scene+ accounts by contacting Scene+.  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.   All other terms and conditions of the Scene+ Program continue to apply during the Offer period.  Offer may be changed, cancelled, or extended without notice at any time and cannot be combined with any other offers.

Subject to the above exclusions, Scotiabank personal credit cardholders are also eligible for the Offer.  By accepting this Offer you confirm you meet all Offer requirements. We reserve the right to revoke this Offer at any time if we determine you do not meet the Offer eligibility requirements, including after you have accepted the Offer or been approved for the Account.
