FlyerTalk Forums - MilesBuzz: Canada

Im looking to see if anyone has any DP on Scotia Gold Amex regarding the terms below:

I normally dont do Scotia but I saw GRB of $100 until Sept 30.

I had this card back in Oct 2017 and I currently have Scotia Passport Visa.

Do they police this term below?

Bonus Offer Eligibility and Exclusions:

The following individuals are not eligible for the Bonus Offers:

Current primary or secondary cardholders of a Scotiabank retail credit card, including those that switch from an existing Scotiabank retail credit card
Previous primary or secondary cardholders of a Scotiabank retail credit card in the past 2 years

Datapoints reported in other communities (RFD, churningcanada subreddit) indicate that the terms are not enforced by Scotia's software/systems

Any datapoints on receiving bonvoy night certificate on spouses account? I.e. all of our bonvoy cards are linked to my bonvoy account. After 1 year and renewal, will I get 4 night certs for 2 personal and 2 business cards?

I believe that's against their terms, so you should start by hoping they don't close your account.

Yup - relinked to our own accounts since bonvoy points are relatively liquid.

My wife and I both got the $60 off $300 Marriott on our Canadian Amex cards. Does anyone know of Marriott properties in the Vancouver area that sell gift cards?

per the offer T&C "Offer only valid on room rate and room charges" so i am also curious if gift cards would work despite this.

They always print that, but gift cards have always worked if purchased at a property (i.e., not online). They have no way to distinguish the charges.

Applied for the RBC BA Visa Infinite. Approved Sept 20th but didn't receive the card for a month so wasn't activated until Oct 20th.
Never had such a delay but anyways.

Question is; does the $5000 min in "first 3 months" have to be within the first 3 months of card approval or activation?
Really don't want to miss the bonus...

I have called to determine what date they record in their system. They've told me the date by which my minimum spend must be complete.

I was under the impression cobalt didn’t have a fixed chart only the direct credit to spend 1000=$10 off Amex travel

Fixed points is an option on Cobalt.
On multiple occasions, I have booked fixed point fares, on Amex Travel, using my Cobalt account, and received much better than 1000=$10 value.

You would have to spend $10k on the card within three months to get half of the bonus. That’s too much in my humble opinion.
