Canada’s 6 Best Scotiabank Credit Cards
Read moreThe Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite Business* Card offers 30,000 Scene+ points after spending $5,000 in the first three months.
For the big spenders, there's also a bonus of 10,000 Scene+ points after spending $60,000 in the first year.The card has an annual fee of $199 for the primary cardholder. Also, the first supplementary card is free, while subsequent supplementary cards are charged at $50 apiece.
The card offers a uniform earning rate of 1.5 Scene+ points per dollar spent on all purchases, which equates to a 1.5% return.
Among small business credit cards, a flat 1.5% earning rate is fantastic, and it's technically one of the strongest fixed returns in the market.Some other small business credit cards, like the American Express Business Platinum Card or the RBC Avion Visa Infinite Privilege Card, offer 1.25 points per dollar spent.
That's weaker than the Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite Business* Card on paper, but it's worth noting that Amex and RBC's points can be transferred to airline partners and redeemed at a higher value, whereas Scene+ are a fixed-value points currency.

Scene+ is one of the most flexible fixed-value points programs in Canada. Points have a value of 1 cent per point, and can be easily credited towards any travel expense up to 12 months after the date of purchase.
This is far superior to fixed-value points programs from Canada's other major banks, as most of them force you to book your travel through their in-house travel agencies. With those programs, you’re effectively limited to using your points for flights, hotels, car rentals, and vacations at the rates set in the online travel agencies.
On the other hand, with Scene+ points, you can apply your points to things like vacation rentals, plane tickets, train tickets, hotel stays, award booking taxes and fees, and much more. Simply charge the travel expense to your credit card, and then redeem points to "offset" the charge.
The best part of this is that since you can book directly with travel vendors, you'll get the full entitlement to earning elite benefits, and you'll also be covered by the card's insurance coverage (outlined below).The main draw of this card is the fact that it has no foreign transaction fees – indeed, it’s the first small business credit card in Canada to include such a benefit.
While most other credit cards charge a 2.5% markup on foreign exchange transactions, the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Business Card uses the Visa mid-market rate. This is therefore an excellent card to use when you’re travelling abroad.
In terms of airport lounge benefits, the Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite Business* Card comes with a Visa Airport Companion Program membership with six complimentary lounge visits per year.You'll also get an Avis Preferred Plus membership, as well as access to dedicated Visa Infinite perks like a concierge service, dining experiences, and hotel stays.
The Scotiabank Passport® Visa Infinite Business* Card comes with fairly strong insurance benefits. Coverage includes:
Emergency medical insurance of up to $1 million for you, your spouse, and dependent children on unexpected medical illness or injury when travelling out-of-province for up to 25 days (10 days if aged 65 or older)
Trip cancellation and interruption insurance of up to $2,500 per person
Flight delay insurance for delays of more than four hours, up to $500 per person
Rental car collision or damage insurance, which can help you save on the insurance fees usually charged by car rental companies for vehicles up to a MSRP of $65,000
Plus, on the purchase protection side, you’ll get extended warranty of up to one more year, and a 90-day protection period against damage, loss, or theft for most new items.
