Scotiabank Gold American Express Card’s up to 5x points multipliers are back to Canada only
It was a good run while it lasted, but as of June 2025 Scotiabank has corrected the technical issue that allowed holders of the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card to earn their 3x and 5x points multipliers outside of Canada.
Restaurants, grocery stores, ride sharing and the other accelerated earn categories have reverted back to 1x points for purchases made in currencies other than C$. Nothing else has changed and the card does still provide No FX Fees on non Canadian dollar purchases
Just as we did with the American Express Cobalt Card, we will continue to track confirmed multipliers for the card but for Canada only. When we get time we’ll adjust the multiplier listings from the U.S. and rest of world but will no longer update them.
And just like the Cobalt Card, even with this correction, the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card retains its status as one of the best travel rewards credit cards in Canada and as a Points Earning Machine since the majority of spending on these cards by cardholders is in Canada where they earn the multipliers.
Don’t forget that right now the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card is available with its best ever offer of up to 50,000 bonus Scene+ points and no annual fee in the first year! Click here to learn more and to apply for the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card
