SCOTIABANK CREDIT CARDS – TAKE AWAY
While several cards in the Scotiabank portfolio demand your attention, the
Scotiabank Credit Cards featured above are ones that I have successfully used in
our household over the years. Between 6x earnings on groceries (on Amex Gold),
4x earnings on recurring bills (Momentum Visa Infinite), and the overall
strength of the Passport Visa Infinite as a travel card, it covers a large
portion of our household expenses, which we then leverage towards travel
redemptions!
What about you? Are any of these cards featured in your wallet?
