Small note: In case I mistakingly said 'Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Privilege' it should be just 'Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite' (NO 'privilege'!) but still, the best card for airport lounges I've seen so far. I'm going to use it again soon when I transit in Japan-and wow do they have yummy looking set menus served in their lounges!
It will affect your credit score indirectly; In a sense that these closed cards can no longer contribute to the score (e.g. age of your credit, credit mix). Despite this I have still closed a card in the past, because I had another credit card and felt that the benefit of closing the card (less admin, etc.( outweighed the overall effect it might have on my credit score. Hope that helps!
Hi as usual, great info. Been a subscriber for sometime now. May I know how many guests can you bring along to the lounge per visit? Like for example, i get this card, will i get to bring my wife as a guest in the lounge?
I have the same question and will use the free airport lounge with CIBC Aventura Gold Visa. I and my wife both have this card under same account, hopefully as you said it will work for 2 for every visit.
I have the American Airlines Citibank Executive Admirals club lounge access and purchased a stand alone Dragon pass membership which for my travel in SE Asia.
So, how many people can use the lounge on one pass? For example for a family of 4 did you have to use 4 out of 6 passes, for a 4 hour stay? Or just one pass for a family of 4 was enough for one 4 hour stay?
It's one pass per person. We used 2 passes out of the 6, for the two of us (based on one membership). I'm not sure how many people can use one membership, perhaps someone who went with more than 2 can help out in the comments here!
Do you know if the renewal process for the 6 lounges entries in the scotiabank visa is by calendar year or every year from the date you got the card? Thanks for this video which has been super valuable! 🙏
I haven't gotten to either, so I don't know. But this is what it says in Scotiabank's passport card TnCs "Unless the Program membership is suspended or cancelled, the Program membership and any included complimentary lounge visits (if applicable) will automatically renew annually on the anniversary date (based on date when the Cardholder enrolled for the Program)." Which is good news!!
Not related to this post. Can Presto cards be used all over Canada? Or just Toronto areas? And can you share the link where i can get the bus or subway routes?
The physical card can be used in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area as well as OC Transpo in Ottawa but the digital PRESTO in Apple and Google Wallets can only be used in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Areas.
Thanks for pointing that out! The ones in my video are not available anymore, so here's another similar option: amzn.to/3M9pSqL . I added that to the descriptions. We showed our dragon pass (from the dragon pass/visa companion account), cheers!

Definitely, if you don't plan on using it again to that extent. But for some people it can make sense to keep it (if they really want to use those 6 passes, it can be worth it.)

Living In Canada has become one of my favourite TH-cam channels! ❤
Keep up the great work Tan!
😊👍
Thank you, happy to hear that my videos are still interesting!
Hello! I have now the card. Thanks for the information!! Super helpful!! You are the best❤
Awesome! Enjoy the travel lounges!😎
@@LivinginCanadathank you ❤ i hope you have also FB page to follow
Just enjoyed my first Lounge access entirely free with my CIBC card.
Awesome!
At the end you said you can close unused credit cards.
I have few free unused credit cards, isn't closing them going to affect my credit score??!

It's so refreshing to see something positive and dreamlike. Where were you so long? Thanks.
Hi as usual, great info. Been a subscriber for sometime now. May I know how many guests can you bring along to the lounge per visit? Like for example, i get this card, will i get to bring my wife as a guest in the lounge?
We used one account for the two of us. I don't know what the upper limit is, but it definitely works for 2 people!

Great video, thanks!
Do you need to purchase the air fares with the same scotia ccard to avail the free lounge?
No! At least I couldn't find a reference to it
No need to buy tickets with the card.
So, how many people can use the lounge on one pass? For example for a family of 4 did you have to use 4 out of 6 passes, for a 4 hour stay? Or just one pass for a family of 4 was enough for one 4 hour stay?

You can up to 6 people use the card at once.
Istanbul Air Canada lounge is really nice.
Do you know if the renewal process for the 6 lounges entries in the scotiabank visa is by calendar year or every year from the date you got the card? Thanks for this video which has been super valuable! 🙏

@@LivinginCanada Thanks for your response! Appreciate the info :)
I have the card. It is renewed yearly from the date of issue. Six passes per year.
Just in time. Thank you so much!
Awesome!

@@StrifePulse thank you!
very clear and details ... thank you!
Amazon link is broken!
BTW, What we need to show them while visiting lounge? Email confirmation or creditcard??

Thanks for your helpful suggestion.
You're impressively resourceful, Tan!😃👍
Let's meet at an airport for drinks!
YOUR treat, of course!😁
Airports are always very exciting to me... the feeling of launching into a different country and leaving the day-to-day behind😎🤩
Thanks for sharing
You title is Click bait. You really didn’t mention anything free.
The airport lounge accesses are free.
Things open up if you get Amex cards
Hi, am I required to open a scotia bank account (checking or savings), first to be able to apply for the credit card?
No I just applied for the card and didnt require an account before hand.

its not free i you need another service to get it you just pay in some other way
Remember to cancel the card within a year, you don't wanna incur a loss of $139 the next year.
Definitely, if you don't plan on using it again to that extent. But for some people it can make sense to keep it (if they really want to use those 6 passes, it can be worth it.)
See $139 you have to pay for it I told you so
