Gifts on ‘Point’ with Scotiabank Rewards

’Tis the season to treat yourself and your loved ones – now more than ever with the relaunch of Scotiabank’s Scotia Rewards program. When we found out that now we can use our Scotiabank Gold American Express Card to score gifts and gadgets from Apple and Best Buy, we couldn’t wait to use our points! —Kelsey Klassen

Just look at some of the sweet merch we found in the Apple catalogue (which is synced with your points) at Scotiarewards.com: we’re loving the stylish 38mm Apple Watch with White Ceramic Case and Cloud Sport Band (as well as the new iPhone 7/7 plus and MacBook Pro coming soon!).

The Best Buy catalogue is also synced (yes, that means you can use points to clean up on Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals this November), with select Best Buy items available for in-store pick up just 24 hours later. My family does Secret Santa, so I can’t say who I’m buying for, but it’s the pickiest person in the Klassen household and I’ll be jumping on this, for sure.

The new program also allows you to redeem your Scotia Rewards points for credit towards your monthly bill, which we could all use a little help on come January.

And for the VITA frequent flyers, you’ll also enjoy an enhanced Scotia Rewards Travel Service site, including competitive travel rates and discounts, and the best price guarantee on airfare when you book travel through Scotia Rewards Travel Service for up to 24-hours after your booking.

We’re big planners, so we’re loving the new online booking experience: when you book travel through the site, you’ll receive a personal travel itinerary, including weather forecasts, information about your destination, recommended activities, and more. What could be better when you’re travelling during the holidays? No more sweating that Christmas Eve snowstorm grounding your plane or struggling to find the hottest new restaurant on your beach vacay. The Scotia Rewards Travel Service has you covered.

And redeeming your rewards points has never been easier. Just log on to the Scotia Rewards site here and click through to either the Scotia Rewards Travel site, Apple or Best Buy catalogues (or whichever rewards you’re are most interested in). The catalogues are just like shopping online, only all your redemption options have the Scotia Rewards value instead of a dollar value.

This season, we’ll be letting Scotia Rewards point the way!
