The card is really interesting for grocery shopping. The annual fee is reasonable for the benefits of the card.
Eric
The best reward program on the market. Easy to access our statement by internet. One of the best customer service in the bank market.
Chong Liang
Good reward program.
Ilia Tchernov
Annual fee is a bit high but otherwise a great card, especially for food lovers and petrolheads.
Shelley Wellman
I dislike that it takes so long to show my purchases. My last credit card showed them under pending transactions within a few hours. This card takes days. I also checked off ebill but I’m still being sent paper bills and can’t figure out why.

The Scotiabank Momentum Visa Infinite Card offers impressive rewards on everyday purchases. This card earns great cash back on many categories – however, its stand-out feature is 4% cash back on groceries. This card can help offset rising household expenses and is considered to be one of the best cash back credit cards.
Pros:
- High cash back rate on essentials: Enjoy significantly higher earn rates on groceries, bills, and subscriptions (4% cash back)
- Comprehensive insurance coverage: Benefit from strong insurance coverage typically is reserved for travel credit cards
- Lucrative welcome offer
Cons:
- Spending cap on bonus categories: Annual total spend limit of $25,000 on the 4% and 2% spending categories; thereafter, the earn rate drops to 1%
- Limited redemption flexibility: Cash back reward is only offered as a statement credit once per year in November and cannot be redeemed in smaller amounts or any other time of year

1 Offer Description and Conditions: The 15% Cash Back and First Year Annual Fee Waiver (the “Offer”) applies only to new Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite + credit card accounts (“Accounts”) that are opened, and any additional Account cards issued, between May 1, 2026 and November 1, 2026 (regardless of the date you apply for the Account) subject to the conditions below. We will waive the annual fee for the primary card and each additional card on the Account for the first year only. All other terms and conditions of the Program Terms continue to apply during the Offer period. Offer may be changed, cancelled or extended at any time without notice and cannot be combined with any other offers.
15% Cash Back Offer Description and Conditions: You will earn 15% Cash Back on the first $2,000 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 Cash Back Program Terms and Conditions (the “Program Terms”). The 15% 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 can be redeemed to your Account provided it is open and in good standing at the time of redemption:
1. Bonus Cash Back: The amount earned under the Cash Back Bonus Rate will be available for redemption to your Account after approximately 5 months from the Account open date in accordance with the regular Cash Back Program Terms.
2. Regular Cash Back: The amount earned under your regular Cash Back Program Rate Can be redeemed to your Account anytime for a minimum of $25 each time you request a redemption.
EXAMPLE: If the Regular Cash Back Program Rate for the Groceries and Recurring Payments category is 4% then the Cash Back Bonus Rate will be 6% for that category so that you will earn a total of 10% 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 Groceries and Recurring Payments category, your cash back earnings will be as follows:
(1) the Cash Back Bonus earnings of $120 (6% x $2,000) (shown as an adjustment in your monthly statements), and (2) the Regular Cash Back earnings of $80 (4% x $2,000) (shown in your monthly statements).
Annual Fee Waiver Offer Description and Conditions: We will waive the annual fee for the primary card and each additional card issued between May 1, 2026 and November 1, 2026 on the Account for the first year only.

Subject to the above exclusions, Scotiabank small business credit cardholders are also eligible for the Offer. By accepting this Offer you confirm you meet all Offer eligibility 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.
Rates and Fees: The current annual fee is $120 for the primary card and $50 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. All rates, fees, features and benefits are outlined in the Application Disclosure Statement and are subject to change.
