I don't think they mind! I just buy $500 at a time.

what would happen if you get caught? They claw back the points? Or they take the card? Or you go to jail?

No jail thankfully! They will send a letter in the mail letting you know all your accounts/cards are closed and then you won't be able to apply for a couple of years. Also no points transfers will be allowed so yeah everything you earned...poof Crying Face

As long as the store codes as a grocery store, you're all good! If you're not sure, make a small purchase - like $10 - and wait for the Scotia Rewards points to post. As long as you get 5x the points (50 points in this example) then you're good to go! 🤩

For anybody who has this card...
Can you use these points for statement credits? If so, what is the redemption rate?

Can anyone who applied for this offer advise on how long to be approved?
Applied on Friday and have not heard back yet
Of course Scotiabank is the absolute worst for customer serve I had to go to their ombudsman to get my welcome offer $ but I got sucked in again with the $650 welcome bonus for this card :)
