The Bottom Line


The Scotiabank Momentum Mastercard stands out as a solid no-fee option for those looking to earn cash back on everyday categories like gas and groceries. With 1% cash back in key spending categories and wide acceptance, it’s a practical card to keep in your wallet, especially if you're a regular Costco shopper. While it lacks insurance coverage, the absence of an annual fee and the consistent cash back on essentials make it a good entry-level card for budget-conscious users.
