With the new year upon us, I found a great offer from Scotiabank for their first year free cash back Scotia Momentum Visa Infinite Card.

Earn 10% cash back on all purchases for the first 3 months (up to $2,000 in total purchases). Plus, no annual fee in the first year, including on supplementary cards. A welcome offer value of $350 (annual fee is usually $150).

There is a reason this is one of the best cash back credit cards in Canada (especially with no annual fee):

Grocery store purchases
Earn 4% for every $1 you spend on grocery store purchases. 

Includes: grocery stores and supermarkets.

Bill payments
Earn 4% for every $1 you spend on recurring bill payments.

Includes: pre-authorized payments setup to occur on a regular schedule (daily, monthly or annually).

Examples: insurance premiums, utilities, gym memberships and more.

Subscription payments
Earn 4% for every $1 you spend on recurring subscription purchases.

Includes: pre-authorized payments setup to occur on a regular schedule (daily, monthly or annually).

Examples: popular video or music streaming, meal kit delivery, lifestyle boxes and more.

2% Gas and daily transit
Includes: gas stations, paying at the pump, buses, taxis, trains, rideshare, and more.

Another great reason to get this card is for the free premium insurance that comes with it:

New Mobile Device Insurance

Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance
