Editor's Review

The Scotia Momentum® Visa* Card can be considered much better than its counterpart, the Scotia Momentum® Mastercard® * Credit Card. However, it also requires you to pay a $39 annual fee. This card gives you 2% back on all your purchases, which includes gas stations, purchases, recurring bill payments and drug stores.

 

If you apply this month, Scotiabank has a great offer. Basically, you'll get a 2.99% introductory interest rate on balance transfers for the first 6 months. You can use this card to pay off your debt and improve your credit score.


If you're a big spender on groceries, gas and other daily purchases, then this card can suit you perfectly. With it, you also gain free insurance against theft, damage or loss, for 90 days after purchasing any product.

 

The perks of the Scotia Momentum® Visa* Card include:

 

- Get a discount of up to 25% for car rentals

- Pay quickly by integrating the card with Apply Pay, Visa PayWave and Visa Checkout

- Enjoy world-class customer service thanks to VISA integration

- Free supplementary card for one of your friends or family members

- Optional protection for your finances, critical illness, accidents or loss of life
