Benefits
Annually, Scotiabank American Express Platinum cardholders will receive 10 complimentary airport lounge passes to access Priority Pass and Plaza Premium airport lounges. These complimentary lounge access passes can be used by both the cardholder and their guests. To utilize this benefit:
- Priority Pass Lounges: Present your Priority Pass physical or digital membership card. Cardholders will need to signup for Priority Pass here and enter the invitation code “Scotia1”.
- Plaza Premium Lounges: Present your Scotia Platinum Amex card to gain access to the lounge.
The Scotiabank Platinum Amex card also offers no foreign transaction fees. This means that you will save 2.5% on all foreign currency transactions, including in foreign countries or online shopping purchases (when charged in a foreign currency). Ultimately, you will pay only the exchange rate when making these kinds of transactions. There are very few cards in Canada that offer this perk, and it is recommended to always have a card with no foreign currency fees when traveling.
As this card is part of the American Express network, cardholders are also eligible to access American Express offers. These offers can result in money saved at retailers, restaurants, travel, and more. In order to be eligible, cardholders will need to register for the offer they are interested in.
