B. Earning and Redeeming Scotia Rewards Points and Adding Delegates

1. Earning Points

The program is based on a points system of “Scotia Rewards points”. Scotia Rewards points are also referred to as “points”.

You are awarded one (1) Scotia Rewards point for every $1.00 in purchases of goods and services charged to a ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card account or a ScotiaGold Passport for business Visa Card account.

You are awarded one (1) Scotia Rewards point for every $2.00 in purchases of goods and services charged to a Scotiabank Rewards Visa Card account.

You are awarded one and a half (1.5) Scotia Rewards points for every $1.00 in purchases of goods and services charged to a Scotiabank Passport^TM Visa Infinite Business* Card account.

You are awarded two (2) Scotia Rewards points for every $1.00 in grocery, dining, entertainment and daily transit purchases charged and posted to the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Account (the “Accelerated Earn Rates”) as more particularly described below:

Grocery, Dining, Entertainment and Daily Transit Purchases:

Eligible grocery stores and dining purchases (including Grocery Stores and Supermarkets; Eating Places and Restaurants, Drinking Places, Fast Food Restaurant); entertainment purchases (including Entertainment including Motion Picture Theaters, Theatrical Producers, Ticket Agencies, Bands, Orchestras, Miscellaneous Entertainers;) and daily transit purchases (including Local and Suburban Commuter Passenger Transportation, including Ferries, Passenger Railways, Taxicabs and Limousines, Bus Lines, Transportation Services (Not Elsewhere Classified). See the Merchant Categories below for further details on what qualifies in these categories based on the applicable merchant code as classified under the Visa credit card network).

You are awarded one (1) Scotia Rewards point for every $1.00 in all other purchases of goods and services charged to the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Account (the “Regular Earn Rate”).

Spend Threshold for the Accelerated Earn Rate (Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Accounts only):

The Accelerated Earn Rate for the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Account applies to the first $50,000 in purchases charged to that Account annually at merchants qualifying for the Accelerated Earn Rate (under the categories of grocery stores and dining, entertainment and daily transit purchases as more particularly described above), with the annual period calculated on a 12-month basis. Annual period starts from the Account open date and resets every 12 months thereafter. Once you exceed the applicable annual spend (purchase) threshold, you will continue earning points at the Regular Earn Rate of one (1) Scotia Rewards point per $1.00 in purchases charged to the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Account.

Bonus Scotia Rewards points on Spend Thresholds (Scotiabank Passport Visa Accounts only):

You are awarded ten thousand (10,000) bonus Scotia Rewards points for the first $40,000 (forty-thousand dollars) in purchases of goods or services posted to your Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Account annually (each year (12-months)). Annual period starts from the Account open date and resets every 12 months thereafter.

You are then awarded two thousand (2,000) bonus Scotia Rewards points for every additional $10,000 (ten thousand dollars) in purchases of goods or services posted to your Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Account thereafter in that same 12-month year, after the first $40,000 in annual purchases has been reached.

Any bonus Scotia Rewards points earned will be applied within two statement cycles after you have met the $40,000 annual purchases threshold on the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Account or within two statement cycles after you have met each additional $10,000 annual purchases threshold on the Account, provided that Account is open and in good standing.

For all Program Card Accounts:
Points are earned only for purchases charged to the Program Card Account. Scotia Rewards points are not awarded for cash advances, balance transfers, Scotia^® Credit Card Cheques, returns, refunds or other similar credits, payments, fees, interest, or other charges. Cash advances include cash-like transactions which are monetary transactions posted to your Program Card Account and include wire transfers, foreign currency, travelers cheques, money orders and gaming chips.

Scotia Rewards points will be added to a Program Card Account shortly after a debit transaction for a purchase has been posted to that Account, and will be deducted (or cancelled) from the Program Card Account if a credit for any returned purchase (or similar credit such as a refund or credit voucher) is posted to that Account or for any other adjustments to previously billed purchases.

Scotia Rewards points will not be posted to a Program Card Account that is not in good standing¹ or to a Program Card Account that is not open at the time of posting.

Purchases made by a Supplementary Cardmember will earn points for the benefit of the Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember on the Program Card Account (and any Co-Borrower on that Account). Supplementary Cardmembers earn the same number of points on purchases as the Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember (and Co-Borrower) earn, unless we advise you otherwise.

Checking your Points Balance: Every month the statement for the Program Card Account will detail the number of points earned since the previous statement (for the prior statement period), the balance of points carried forward from a previous statement (for the prior statement period), the number of points redeemed or adjusted in that statement (for the prior statement period) and the new Scotia Rewards points balance for the Program Card Account. Scotia Rewards points information for a Program Card Account is also available to the Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember (or Co-Borrower) by registering and logging into scotiarewards.com where points balances are updated daily based on the transactions that have been posted to the Program Card Account as of that date. Transactions may require several business days to be posted to the Account and the points balance shown may not always be up to date.

2. Redeeming Points

Scotia Rewards points can only be redeemed as set out in these terms and conditions. Redemptions of Scotia Rewards points can be made for a travel purchase (also referred to as a travel booking), merchandise and other non-travel rewards such as gift cards, pre-paid cards or other items/goods and services as described in these terms and conditions.

Scotia Rewards Cardmembers who redeem Scotia Rewards points are responsible for any taxes associated with their redemption and if applicable, must declare the value of those redemptions to appropriate tax authorities.

3. Redeeming Points on Closed Accounts

If a Program Card Account is closed (including if you cancel a Program Card), any unredeemed Scotia Rewards points can be redeemed within 60 days of closing the Account(s), provided the Account is in good standing¹, after which time the unredeemed points will be permanently cancelled.

If the Program Card Account is closed, you will not be able to redeem any points for a Post Purchase Travel Redemption.

If you have multiple eligible Program Cards, you may transfer any accumulated Scotia Rewards points to another Scotiabank Credit Card Account that earns Scotia Rewards points before electing to close the Account, provided the Account(s) are open and in good standing¹ and the Account(s) are in your name.

If the Scotia Rewards Account is closed by Scotiabank because it is not in good standing¹, the Scotia Rewards points associated with that Account cannot be redeemed and will be immediately cancelled.

4. Adding a Delegate

A Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember or Co-Borrower may delegate a representative to redeem points on their behalf. Visit scotiarewards.com or contact the Scotia Rewards Centre for details.

C. Transferring Points

1. When Points can be Transferred

Scotia Rewards points are non-transferable. However, if you have more than one Program Card Account in your name, we may allow you to transfer Scotia Rewards points to an open Program Card Account in your name before electing to close a Program Card Account, provided the Account(s) are in good standing¹.

For a joint Program Card Account, if you are the Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember or Co-Borrower, you may transfer Scotia Rewards points to another Program Card Account, provided each of those Accounts are in good standing¹ and each Account is in your name.

Supplementary Cardmembers cannot transfer, combine or redeem points on any Program Card Accounts.

Scotia Rewards Cardmembers can go to scotiarewards.com to complete a transfer of points. If you have any questions, visit us online or contact the Scotia Rewards Centre.

2. Points Transfer on Death or Separation/Divorce or Change in Business Ownership or Legal Structure

Upon the death of a Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember and verification by Scotiabank, if there is no Co-Borrower on the Program Card Account, the estate of the Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember can redeem unused Scotia Rewards points for up to 60 days from the date of death provided that Account is in good standing¹ after which time, unredeemed Scotia Rewards points will be permanently cancelled.

In the case of a joint Program Card Account, the surviving Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember or Co-Borrower, as the case may be, can elect to redeem unused Scotia Rewards points for up to 60 days from the date of death or can request to transfer them to a new Program Card Account in their name, provided the Account(s) are in good standing¹. Otherwise, the unredeemed Scotia Rewards points will be permanently cancelled.

Points cannot be divided or otherwise transferred in the event of separation or divorce.

In the event that a change in legal structure (e.g., Sole Proprietor to incorporated) or changes in ownership of a business occurs, transfer of points to the Scotiabank credit card replacement account that earns points will be allowed.

D. Non-Travel Rewards

Scotia Rewards points can be redeemed for non-travel rewards on scotiarewards.com. Non-travel rewards include items such as merchandise, gift cards and Scotiabank Prepaid Cards. You may redeem Non-Travel Rewards, redeeming Scotia Rewards points only (“Points Only”) or redeeming Scotia Rewards points plus charging the balance to your Program Card (“Points Plus Charge”) on selected merchandise.

E. Travel Purchases through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service

The Scotia Rewards Travel Service is provided by a licensed third party travel agent (Hogg Robinson Canada Inc.) (“HRG”). The Bank of Nova Scotia and its affiliates are not responsible for the Scotia Rewards Travel Service website, any services provided to you by HRG (including omissions or errors in those services), or any of the third parties that provide services through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service.

1. Booking Travel through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service

You can purchase travel through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service in two ways:

Sign on to the Scotia Rewards Program Site to book your purchase online through the Program Site; or
call the Scotia Rewards Travel Service at 1-800-665-2582 and speak with a Travel Consultant. Remember: If you book travel by phone, a booking fee will be charged by the Scotia Rewards Travel Service (disclosed to you at the time of booking or by visiting scotiarewards.com for details) for that travel purchase and will be charged to your Program Card Account. Booking fee is subject to change.

2. Redeeming Points for Travel Purchases:

You can redeem your Scotia Rewards points for a travel purchase made through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service using the following options:

Redeeming points (“Points Only”)
This payment option allows you to redeem points for the entire amount of your travel purchase made through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service;
Redeeming points plus a charge to your Program Card (“Points Plus Charge”)
This payment option allows you to book travel through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service and the value of any Scotia Rewards points redeemed will be deducted from the total purchase with the difference in the amount for that travel purchase then charged to your Program Card.

You will earn points only on the amount of the travel purchase charged to your Program Card. You will not earn points on the amount of the travel purchase towards which you redeem points.

The minimum point redemption is 5,000 points (5,000 points is equivalent to $50 in travel savings) each time a redemption towards a travel purchase is made through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service.

3. Cash Back Rebate on Travel Purchases made through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service (ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card or ScotiaGold Passport for business Visa Cards only)

ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card accounts or ScotiaGold Passport for business Visa Card accounts can earn 5% in cash back (the “Cash Back Rebate”) on the amount of travel purchases made on their Program Card Account if:

the travel purchase is made through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service;
and
the entire amount of the travel purchase is charged to the ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card or ScotiaGold Passport for business Visa Card account either through (a) using a “Points Only” option to charge entire amount of the travel purchase (“Points Only”) to the applicable Program Card Account OR (b) using a “Points Plus Card” option to redeem points towards a partial amount of the travel purchase and applying the balance of that travel purchase to the Program Card.

Eligible purchases that can earn the Cash Back Rebate are limited to: airline tickets, pre-packaged tours and cruises booked through Scotia Rewards Travel Service.

Taxes, service charges, insurance, accommodations, car rentals, fully independent tours and personal expenditures, such as meals, are excluded from earning the Cash Back Rebate, unless such items are already included in the pre-packaged tours purchased through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service.

When using the “Points Plus Card” option to redeem points for a travel purchase through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service, the Cash Back Rebate is applicable only to the portion of the travel purchase that is charged to the ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card or the ScotiaGold Passport for business Visa Card accounts, not any amount of the travel purchase for which a points redemption is applied.

The Cash Back Rebate is provided by a third party provider. Scotiabank is not responsible for the Cash Back Rebate. A Cash Back Rebate can take up to 6 to 8 weeks to be posted to your Account and appear on your statement. For more information about the Cash Back Rebate, visit scotiarewards.com.

4. Other Information about Travel Purchases through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service

Availability / Pricing: All travel rewards listed in the Scotia Rewards Catalogue, Scotia Rewards Program Site or any other brochure or notice made available to you, are subject to availability by the travel supplier, hotel or any other applicable supplier. The Scotia Rewards Travel Service does not commit to price matching other than the Best Price Guarantee program.

Travel Confirmations: All correspondence and travel documents/itinerary provided by Scotia Rewards Travel Service will be sent to the Primary Cardmember’s (or Co-Borrower’s) address or email appearing in our records at Scotia Rewards Travel Service or at the address instructed by the Primary Cardmember (or Co-Borrower). We are not responsible for any failure to receive these travel documents if we send them to the address appearing in our records at the Scotia Rewards Travel Service or the instructions we receive from the Primary Cardmember or Co-Borrower.

Travel Documents: You and your travel companions are responsible to ensure that you have in your possession, on departure and as otherwise required, all necessary travel documents. We are not responsible if you do not have the necessary travel documents and you will not be entitled to any compensation from us. It is your responsibility to check with the airlines and other travel suppliers for all estimated departure times, arrival times, and check-in times.

Pay at Destination: While most hotel and car rental bookings will be prepaid (requiring Cardmembers to pay only local tax and incidentals at check-out/dropoff), there may be occasions where a prepayment is not possible. In these situations, your hotel and/or car bookings will be considered a “Pay At Destination” booking. For these bookings, points are redeemed in the form of a travel credit. The travel credit is applied to your Program Card Account within 14 days of the date of this booking. Full payment is collected by the hotel and/or car rental agency. Pay at Destination is only applicable to trips reserved through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service and paid with a Program Card.

Travel Cancellation: If you wish to cancel your travel booking before your travel departure date, or any portion of it, made through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service, we will attempt to assist you but you agree that any cancellation is subject to the terms and conditions of the third party travel supplier that is providing that travel purchase and the terms of the travel purchase itself. In some cases, this means that for non-refundable tickets, cancellations are not allowed or are subject to cancellation fees. Any cancellation fees will be charged directly to the Program Card Account on which the travel purchase was made.

Travel cancellations and/or changes made to travel purchases outside of Scotia Rewards Travel Service hours are dependent on the terms set by the third party travel providers and their hours of operation. The Scotia Rewards Travel Service is not responsible for earlier closures or any cancellation of these travel purchases by the third party travel providers.

Point redemptions for travel purchases are final. However, if you are able to cancel a travel purchase for which you redeemed Scotia Rewards points, we will credit the Program Card Account for the points redeemed at the value they were redeemed at.

Travel Insurance: Your Program Card may include insurance coverages related to travel. Please refer to the rewards and travel benefits posted online at scotiabank.com or to the Certificates of Insurance provided with your Program Card for a full description of any included coverage. For all insurance coverages, certain limitations, restrictions and exclusions apply, including a pre-existing condition exclusion for certain benefits².

F. Post Purchase Travel Redemption

You can purchase eligible travel or related travel expenses at a travel provider other than the Scotia Rewards Travel Service (e.g. other travel agencies, tour operators and online travel websites) (the “Other Travel Suppliers”). These types of purchases at Other Travel Suppliers are called “Post Purchase Travel Redemptions” (also referred to as "Apply Points to Travel").

Scotia Rewards points are redeemable for Post Purchase Travel Redemptions made through your Program Card. To redeem Scotia Rewards points for a Post Purchase Travel Redemption at Other Travel Suppliers, the purchase must first appear (post) on the Program Card Account. Scotia Rewards Cardmembers can then redeem points towards the amount of the Post Purchase Travel Redemption charged to the Program Account through scotiarewards.com or by calling 1-800-665-2582.

The Post Purchase Travel Redemption must be charged on your Program Card Account and recognized by our systems with the Merchant Category Codes or identifiers: airlines & air carriers, airports, flying fields, and airport terminals; lodgings, hotels, motels and resorts, trailer parks and campgrounds; passenger railways, bus lines, steamship and cruise lines; travel agencies and tour operators, automobile rental agency, motor home and recreational vehicle rentals. These Merchant codes/identifiers and categories are subject to change.

The Post Purchase Travel Redemption can include related taxes, booking fees, airport fees and travel insurance premiums.

You must redeem Scotia Rewards points within 12 months from the date when the Post Purchase Travel Redemption is posted to the Program Card Account (the posting date). It may take up to two statement periods for the points redeemed towards a Post Purchase Travel Redemption to appear as a credit on your Program Card Account. Points redeemed cannot be reversed once posted to the Account. To redeem Scotia Rewards points towards your Post Purchase Travel Redemption, the Program Card Account must be open and in good standing¹.

The value of the points redeemed cannot exceed the amount of the Post Purchase Travel Redemption charged to your Program Card Account.

The minimum point redemption is 5,000 points (5,000 points is equivalent to $50 in travel savings) each time a redemption towards a Post Purchase Travel Redemption is made.

G. Redeem Scotia Rewards Points for Credit

A Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember or Co-Borrower can redeem points online through scotiarewards.com for a credit that will be applied to the Program Card Account or we may from time to time send a Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember or Co-Borrower an offer to redeem points for a credit.

Your Program Card Account must be open and in good standing¹ at the time the credit is applied to the Program Card Account.

It may take up to two statement periods, following a request to redeem points for a credit, for the credit to appear on the Program Card Account. Once the request to redeem Scotia Rewards Points for Credit has been submitted, you cannot cancel the request and no changes can be made. The credit will be applied towards the balance of the Program Card Account, not towards a particular transaction.

For additional information and instructions on how to redeem Scotia Rewards Points for Credit, including if any minimum redemption amounts are required, please visit scotiarewards.com.

H. Points Status when Switching Cards

If you switch your Program Card Account to another Program Card Account, then your accumulated Scotia Rewards points will transfer over to your new Program Card Account, so long as both Accounts are in your name and are in good standing¹.

If you switch (transfer) your Program Card to a Scotiabank credit card that does not offer the Scotia Rewards Program, your Scotia Rewards points will not transfer over to your new Scotiabank credit card. In that case, you may redeem any unused Scotia Rewards points for merchandise within 60 days of the switch, provided your Program Card Account and the other Scotiabank credit account are in good standing¹. After 60 days, unredeemed points will be permanently cancelled.

I. Cancelled, Lost or Stolen Program Cards

Cancelled Program Cards on Program Card Accounts are not eligible to earn Scotia Rewards points after their cancellation date. If your Program Card is lost or stolen, we will replace that Program Card and transfer your points to the new Program Card Account opened in your name for the replacement card.

J. Changes to this Program

Scotiabank reserves the right to modify, terminate, suspend or extend or otherwise alter all or any of the terms and conditions of the Scotia Rewards program by giving 30 days’ notice to the Primary Cardmember by mail, online or to the last email we have for you including posting a notice to the Scotia Rewards site where these terms and conditions are found.

Termination Notice: In the event we terminate this Program, the Primary Cardmember will be notified (in the same way we provide notice of other changes as described above) and can redeem any unused points within 60 days after the Program’s termination date, provided their Program Account(s) is in good standing¹.

You will only earn the regular rate of one (1) point per $1.00 charged to Scotiabank Gold American Express Card account for any eligible purchase made in a foreign currency (once the amount of that foreign currency has been converted into Canadian currency and posted to your account).

Spend threshold for the Accelerated Earn Rate:

The accelerated earn rate for the Scotiabank Platinum American Express Card account applies to the first $100,000 in purchases charged to that Program Card Account annually at merchants qualifying for the accelerated earn rate, calculated annually from January 1st to December 31st each year.

The accelerated earn rate for the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card applies to the first $50,000 in purchases charged to that Program Card Account annually at merchants qualifying for the accelerated earn rate, calculated annually from January 1st to December 31st each year.

Once you exceed the applicable annual spend threshold, you will continue earning points at the regular earn rate of one (1) point per $1.00 in purchases charged to the Program Card Account.

Points are earned only for purchases charged to the Program Card Account. Scotia Rewards points are not awarded for cash advances, balance transfers, Scotia®* Credit Card Cheques, returns, refunds or other similar credits, payments, fees, interest, service or transaction charges. Cash advances include cash-like transactions which are monetary transactions posted to your Program Card Account and include wire transfers, foreign currency, travelers cheques, money orders and gaming chips.

Scotia Rewards points will not be posted to a Program Card Account that is not in good standing2 or to a Program Card Account that is not open at the time of posting.

Purchases made by a Supplementary Cardmember will earn points for the benefit of the Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember on the Program Card Account (and any Co-Borrower on that Account). Supplementary Cardmembers earn the same number of points on purchases as the Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember (and Co-Borrower) earn, unless we advise you otherwise.

Checking your Points Balance:

Every month the statement for the Program Card Account will detail the number of points earned since the previous statement (for the prior statement period), the balance of points carried forward from a previous statement (for the prior statement period), the number of points redeemed or adjusted in that statement (for the prior statement period) and the new Scotia Rewards points balance for the Program Card Account. Scotia Rewards points information for a Program Card Account is also available to the Primary Scotia Rewards Cardmember (or Co-Borrower) by registering and logging into scotiarewards.com where points balances are updated daily based on the transactions that have been posted to the Program Card Account as of that date. Transactions may require several business days to be posted to the Account and the points balance shown may not always be up to date.

3. Redeeming Points on Closed Accounts

If a Program Card Account is closed (including if you cancel a Program Card), any unredeemed Scotia Rewards points can be redeemed within 60 days of closing the Account(s), provided the Account is in good standing², after which time the unredeemed points will be permanently cancelled.

If the Program Card Account is closed, you will not be able to redeem any points for a Post Purchase Travel Redemption.

Item(s) redeemed from the Apple Catalogue

Apple Products

Returns for Apple products are not allowed. In the event that a delivered item is damaged, you can coordinate to receive a replacement for the same item within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the original delivery of item(s).

You can buy AppleCare Protection Plan or AppleCare in Apple Stores only within sixty (60) days of your device purchase for your new product.

If you are having trouble with your new Apple product, please visit Apple’s Website, Apple Store or contact AppleCare Technical Support before attempting a replacement.

Wireless carriers have different service cancellation policies. Returning your iPhone or iPad may not automatically cancel or reset your wireless account; you are responsible for your wireless service agreement and for any applicable fees associated with your wireless account. Please contact your service provider for more information.

If you choose to contact the merchant directly for replacement (for all shipped items) instead of the Scotia Rewards Centre:

The Scotia Rewards Centre will not be able to provide the necessary assistance and/or support for your replacement(s)
Refund of the Scotia Rewards points and/or a credit to the Program Card used for the redemption will not be available when dealing with the merchant directly.

Coordinating your replacement through the Scotia Rewards Centre provides a traceable method for replacing damaged, defective or incorrect items. If you choose to work directly with the merchant, it is recommended that you use a traceable courier service provider and insure any items exceeding $500 in value. Shipping costs including insurance will be at your expense.

B. Backordered Items

The catalogue within the Scotia Rewards store is a "live" catalogue which means items come in and out of stock in real time. When an item is shown on the online catalogue, it is in fact available at that time, but by the time the order is placed with the supplier, it may be out of stock. It is impossible to confirm in advance if or when an item will become out of stock as it is a “live” catalogue. Items which are no longer available or on back order for more than twenty-one (21) days may be cancelled due to unavailability; a full refund of the Scotia Rewards points and/or a credit to the Program Card used for the redemption will be processed for the cancelled item(s).

C. Order Cancellations

An order may be cancelled for a full refund only before the item is shipped, or is being prepared for shipment. This cancellation must be initiated through the Scotia Rewards Centre during regular business hours. Once an order is cancelled, an email notification will be sent to you and full Scotia Rewards points will be restored and/or a credit will be processed on the Program Card used for the redemption.

D. Best Buy Only: In-Store Ordering and Pick Up

General Rules:

The catalogue(s) allows you to search for all items in the catalogue(s), as well as identify items that are available for the Reserve for Pick Up (RPU) option.
If a RPU option for an item is available, you can pick up the item in-store, if desired. If a RPU option is not available, that item must be shipped to an address you have provided in the ordering process.
If the order is placed, and you have selected to utilize the RPU option, the order cannot be modified and shipped to an address on the order.
Store availability will be based upon the item(s) selected and the Best Buy stores within an 80 km radius of the location supplied. Best Buy stores used for RPU search availability are based upon a postal code or the city and province provided in the search process. A maximum of six (6) Best Buy stores with availability will be displayed.
Upon completion of the checkout process, an order placement confirmation email will be sent to the email address you have provided on the order. It is important to understand this does not mean the item is ready for pick up.
The order is then sent to the selected Best Buy store and processed for fulfillment. If there is an issue at the selected Best Buy store with inventory of the item(s) in the order, you will receive a follow-up email notifying you the order cannot be processed due to the item no longer being available. Sometimes the selected Best Buy store’s inventory is depleted from the time order is placed and when the order is processed for fulfillment by the selected Best Buy store.
Once the order is ready for pick up, an email will be sent to the email address provided on the order, notifying you that the order is ready for pick up at the selected Best Buy store. An e-Gift Certificate for the total amount required to purchase the item(s) in your order will be emailed to you. You must present the e-Gift Certificate when you pick up your item(s) at the selected Best Buy store. You can present a paper copy of the e-Gift Certificate or you can decide to show it to the Best Buy specialist via your mobile device.
Only the person listed on the order can pick up the order. This person must present the e-Gift Certificate at time of pick up. The e-Gift Certificate will contain the order number needed to identify your individual order. The person will also need a government issued photo ID that matches the name as listed on the order and listed on the e-Gift Certificate email. If this person does not have this information, the order cannot be picked up from the selected Best Buy store.
Typically, the item(s) are ready for pick up from the selected Best Buy store within one (1) hour of the order being placed and receipt of the order confirmation email. However, some items may take longer to process at the selected Best Buy store, especially during busy seasonal business operations.
Upon entering the selected Best Buy store to pick up the order, please proceed to the area identified by the Reserve and Pick Up sign. If this cannot be identified easily, please ask a Best Buy specialist for directions to this area to retrieve the order.
The item(s) that you reserved will be held and available for pick up at the selected Best Buy store for a 24 hour time period, after the order has been processed by the Best Buy store and upon sending the e-Gift Certificate email notification. If the order is not picked up within this period, the item(s) is no longer reserved. If the person is picking up after the 24 hour time period has elapsed, and the item(s) is still in the selected Best Buy store, you can still utilize the e-Gift Certificate for the item(s). You may also utilize your e-Gift Certificate for any other item(s) in the Best Buy store or retain it and use it for a future purchase as the e-Gift Certificate does not expire.
Upon picking up the order, the Best Buy specialist will provide a store receipt for this order. It is important to keep this store receipt in the event you need to return/exchange an item to the Best Buy store. Returns/exchanges will not be processed without this receipt.

Returns, Replacements and Exchanges at Best Buy Stores:

It is important to inspect the item(s) redeemed from the Best Buy store via Reserve for Pick Up option. In the event the item is defective or is missing parts post Pick Up at the Best Buy store, you will need to return the item at the Best Buy store where the item was originally picked up.
You must bring the store receipt you received when the item was picked up and your government issued photo ID. You must include all original packing materials, manuals, and accessories, or the item may be denied for return, replacement or exchange.
A re-stocking fee may be applied for open items in some product categories. A return may also result in an in-store credit. The in-store credit is at the individual Best Buy store’s discretion and must be initiated by the individual returning the item. For all in-store credits, no Scotia Rewards points will be refunded and/or a credit will not be made to the Program Card if used for the redemption.
Additional funds may be requested from you if you decide to exchange your item for a higher priced item in-store. These funds will need to be supplied by the person exchanging the item, and will not be provided by the Scotia Rewards Program. Once an item is exchanged, you may not be eligible to return the exchanged item for a refund of the Scotia Rewards points and/or a credit to the Program Card if used for the redemption. However, you may receive an in-store credit or gift card if the exchanged item is returned in-store.

Call the Scotia Rewards Travel Service at 1-800-665-2582 and speak with a Travel Consultant to purchase travel services. PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you request and book travel services by phone, a booking fee (disclosed to you at the time of booking) will apply for that travel purchase.

2. Redeeming Scotia Rewards points through Scotia Rewards Travel Service: You can redeem your Scotia Rewards points for a travel purchase through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service using the following options:

Redeeming Scotia Rewards points (”Points Only”) - This payment option allows you to redeem Scotia Rewards points for the entire amount of your travel purchase made through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service. This payment option is available on all Program Cards;
Scotia Rewards Credit Card customers: Redeeming Scotia Rewards points plus a charge to your Program Card - (“Points Plus Charge”). This payment option allows you to book travel through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service and the value of any Scotia Rewards points redeemed will be deducted from the total purchase with the difference in the amount of the travel purchase then charged to your Program Card. This payment option is only available to Scotia Rewards credit card customers; Passport ScotiaCard is excluded from this option.

Point Minimum: The minimum point redemption is 5,000 points (5,000 points is equivalent to $50 in travel savings) each time a redemption towards a travel purchase is made through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service.

By providing authorization to use your credit card to pay for travel services, you are confirming that you will pay the total amount charged according to your cardholder agreement. In addition, you agree not to dispute payment for the travel services you request and receive.

Please be advised, the billing address provided as part of the transaction must be the one associated with the credit card. If we are unable to validate the billing address, your booking will be cancelled with or without prior notice.

Currency: Prices displayed on the Scotia Rewards Travel Service website are in Canadian Dollars. However, cruise prices may be shown in US dollars or Canadian dollars as some supplier rates are quoted to HRG in U.S dollars or other currencies. The amount(s) listed on the invoice is converted into Canadian Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate of the date of invoice. Sometimes, payments processed at a later date to your Program Card may have a different exchange rate than the one calculated at the time of booking, which will be applied either by the supplier or Scotiabank. HRG is not responsible for currency fluctuations and foreign transaction fees, nor does it guarantee the Canadian equivalent of the purchase will be the same, as this is beyond our control.

Price Increases: For Ontario and Quebec residents, in accordance with travel regulations, where there is an increase of more than 7 per cent in the price of services after a deposit has been paid, and such price increase is not a result of an increase in government taxes or a fuel surcharge allowed by the Canadian Transportation Agency, the customer may cancel their booking provided you contact Scotia Rewards Travel Service by calling 1-800-665-2582 within 7 days of receipt of notice of the increase. Please refer to websites of the Travel Industry Council of Ontario or the Office de la protection du consommateur for further details.

Pricing or Point Value Errors: Scotia Rewards Travel Service obtains its prices from several systems from which it does not control. Occasionally, suppliers have an incorrect price for a flight, package, cruise, etc. If the price is incorrect, the tour operator or supplier has the right to cancel that booking at anytime and Scotia Rewards Travel Service has no control over these pricing errors. In the event of such an occurrence, you will be immediately notified by telephone, by a Scotia Rewards Travel Service representative to ensure that alternative arrangements can be made.

Price or Point Value Changes: Prices or point values displayed on the Scotia Rewards Travel’s Service’s website may change during the same session. This may be the result of an unavoidable delay between the third party service provider and the most current tour operator, airline, consolidator, or hotel price. If you leave the website, and return later, prices could change at your next visit to the website.

Refunds: No refund will be made for unused travel services or any unused portion of the services. Any changes to your booking are subject to the terms and conditions of the tour operator, airline, or cruise line as stated in their brochure or on their website. Cruise lines from time to time must change itineraries, skip ports of call or even substitute vessels for safety, weather, or other reasons. These events are beyond the control of HRG and the cruise lines and are not subject to compensation or refunds.

Fees do not apply to Scotiabank Platinum American Express Cardmembers using the Concierge Service.

Most hotels and car rentals also have a minimum age requirement. Check with the cruise line, hotel, or car rental company for their policy prior to booking.

Please be aware that many countries now require that a passport be valid for 6 MONTHS after the date of return of your trip. Please check the government website of the country you are travelling to.

Although HRG has given certain advice about the relevant laws, customs and travel documentation required for your travel destination and your return to Canada, it is your responsibility to be aware of and prepared for all legal, documentation, health, and other requirements of the destination you are travelling to.

Flights

Best Price Guarantee on Airfare from HRG: If, within 24 hours after completing an airline ticket purchase on the Scotia Rewards Travel Service website or with a Scotia Rewards Travel Service Representative, you find a price for the exact same itinerary that's at least $10 less, HRG will offer you a Scotia Rewards points credit equal to the price difference, per passenger.

Flights & Baggage Restrictions: We recommend you check the website of your airline for check-in and cut-off times prior to departure for your flight and destination. You should also contact your airline to determine if there is any charge for checked baggage, excess baggage, as well as any weight and carry-on requirements specific to your airline, or your carry-on items could be refused. You should also check what items are permitted in your carry-on luggage.

Airport Check-in: Most Airlines require travelers to obtain a boarding pass and complete check-in of their baggage up to 2 hours prior to departure. The times vary from airline to airline and HRG recommends that you confirm this information with the airline at least 24 hours prior to departure. The airline reserves the right to deny boarding to travelers that fail to meet the above mentioned timelines. HRG will not be responsible for missed flights due to delays in getting to an airline check in counter in time.

Flight Reconfirmation: Flight times are subject to change. Please be sure to reconfirm all flight times 12 - 24 hours prior to departure by contacting your airline or checking their website.

Connecting Flights: All connecting flights displayed on this website allow for ample time required to connect between different airlines and between different airports within the same city, however HRG assumes no liability for customers unable to make their connection for any reason.

Foreign Travel: Air travel to other countries is governed by various conventions and agreements between Canada and other governments, which are incorporated into the terms and conditions of your purchase of applicable air travel services. Incorporated terms may include, but are not restricted to:

limits on liability for personal injury or death;
limits on liability for lost or damaged baggage and its contents, including fragile or perishable goods, and availability of excess valuation coverage;
claims restrictions, including time periods within which passengers must file a claim or bring an action against the air carrier;
rights of the air carrier to change the contract;
rules on re-confirmation of reservations, check-in times and refusal to carry; and
rights of the air carrier and limits on liability for delay or failure to perform service, including schedule changes, substitution of alternate air carriers or aircraft and rerouting.

It also is your responsibility to become familiar with the relevant laws and customs of the countries of destination. You acknowledge that the living standards and practices at the destination and the standards and conditions there with respect to the provision of utilities, services and accommodation may differ from those found in Canada

Hotel

Hotel Check-in/Check-out times: Every hotel has standard check in and check-out times. We are not able to make special arrangements for our customers outside this policy. Generally the check-out time is 12:00 noon on the day of the return flight, regardless of the flight time. Note that some flights may leave as late as a few hours after midnight. The check-out time for these flights is still 12 noon the previous day. Late check-outs are subject to additional charges paid to the individual hotel locally.

Hotel/Car Pay at Destination (Scotia Rewards Credit Cards only): While most hotel and car rental bookings will be prepaid (requiring Cardmembers to pay only local tax and incidentals at check-out/drop-off), there may be occasions where a prepayment is not possible. In these situations, your hotel and/or car bookings will be considered a “Pay-At-Destination” booking. For these bookings, points are redeemed in the form of a travel credit. The travel credit is applied to your Program Card Account within 14 days of the date of this booking. Full payment is collected by the hotel and/or car rental agency. Pay at Destination is only applicable to trips reserved through the Scotia Rewards Travel Service and paid with a Program Card.

Hotel Terms and Conditions:

All Prices quoted based on the Scotia Rewards Travel Service website and may vary based on current daily exchange rates
Most hotel reservations are prepaid. Your Program card will be charged when you complete your reservation
If your hotel is to be paid locally, please note that the price shown does NOT include any applicable hotel taxes. Exact taxes and any other charges applicable to your hotel stay will be billed by the hotel. Most hotels are charged locally upon check out unless otherwise specified or charged to your Program card.
Any incidental charges will be assessed directly to you by the hotel upon check-out. Examples: Parking, Phone Calls, Room Service, etc.
HRG hotel rates are based on double occupancy. Charges for extra persons (including children) may apply and will be due directly to the hotel
Any changes to, or cancellation of, an hotel reservation may result in 100% penalties and/or administration fees
No refunds for unused nights, including those resulting from delayed check-in or early check-out, will be given
Guests must be at least 18, or in some cases 21 years of age at time of check-in (depending on individual hotel policy) unless accompanied by a parent or guardian

For any hotel changes and cancellations please contact us at 1-800-665-2582.

Car

Car Rentals: If a car rental is included in your booking, please be aware that car rental companies, and governments in every jurisdiction, determine the minimum age that applies to your booking. If the driver does not meet the minimum age requirement in a particular jurisdiction, the car rental will be denied. Also, please be aware that you will need a valid driver’s license and a valid credit card for any car rental. Some local fees and taxes may be applicable to be paid locally and are not covered by Scotia Rewards Travel Service. Furthermore although it may not be disclosed by the supplier at the time of booking, some foreign car rental companies mandate that renters purchase their own insurance locally.

Cruise Line

Cruise Line Departure Times: Cruise lines must adhere to their departure times from port. It is highly recommended you allow sufficient time to get to your cruise to allow for any flight delays. You may choose to travel the day before your cruise with an overnight in their port of embarkation to ensure you are on time for the departure.

Cruise Line Flights: If you have elected to buy flights arranged by your cruise line, please be aware that cruise lines do not confirm airlines, routing, dates and times until two or three weeks prior to departure.

Cancellations: If you need to cancel your booking, you must contact HRG immediately. All cancellations are subject to charges according to the airline, supplier, insurance company, and cruise line cancellation policies, which will be determined by the amount of time before departure that you cancel. Please note that in the event of a partial or full refund, taxes, fees and charges are NOT refunded by the supplier.

Local Customs and Holidays in Your Destination: Please be aware that every country has its own local customs, holidays, holiday closures, etc. Please check the tourist board website for your destination to be aware of any customs or holidays that may affect your vacation.
