How to use Scotiabank Passport lounge access

Which Passport card carries the benefit

Scotiabank lists the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite + Card at an annual fee of $150, with a purchase interest rate of 20.99% and a cash advance rate of 22.99%. [3] The fee note for that card states $150 for the primary card, $0 for the first additional card and $50 for each additional card thereafter, including cards issued to co-borrowers and supplementary cardholders. [3]

The Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Card is listed at $139 per year, with 19.99% on purchases and 22.99% on cash advances. [3] A third variant, the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Privilege Card, appears at an annual fee of $599 with up to 80,000 bonus Scene+ points in the first 14 months and 3 Scene+ points per $1 on eligible travel purchases. [4] The ScotiaGold Passport Visa Card is listed among Scotiabank's Scene+ cards. [3] [4]

The programme the card terms name

The benefit is worded as a complimentary Visa Airport Companion Program membership that includes 6 lounge passes. [3] It appears inside a first-year value calculation dated 22 May 2026 that counts "airport lounge savings" alongside welcome points, point-earning potential and foreign transaction fee savings. [3] In that calculation Scotiabank values the membership at approximately CAD$358 / US$259, based on a "Preferential" membership, with the currency conversion as at 22 May 2026. [3]

Scotiabank directs cardholders to the Application Disclosure Statement for the full set of rates, fees, features and benefits. [3] For the general process of preparing for a lounge visit, see the lounge access checklist and the airport lounge day pass term.

Priority Pass, and why it is a separate product

Priority Pass is a paid lounge membership programme that advertises 1,900+ airport lounges and experiences in over 600 cities across 143 countries. [5] Its own site publishes three annual memberships: Standard at US$99, Standard Plus at US$329 and Prestige at US$469. [5] Priority Pass states that access to its lounges is subject to space availability and that pre-booking is offered at select locations for a small fee. [5]

Those details describe Priority Pass membership as sold by Priority Pass, not the Scotiabank card benefit. [5] General background on how card lounge benefits differ from paid memberships is on the Priority Pass programme page and in lounge access credit cards.

Exceptions and limits

• Six passes, one card. The Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite + Card comes with six passes. [3] [4]
• Guests.
• Supplementary cardholders. The Passport Visa Infinite + distinguishes primary borrower, co-borrower and supplementary cardholders for points crediting. [3]
• Valuation is not a credit. The CAD$358 / US$259 figure is used to build the first-year value estimate and is described as based on a "Preferential" membership, with conversion as at 22 May 2026. [3]
• Change and scope. Features and benefits are subject to change. [3] [4]
• Space availability. Priority Pass's space-availability and pre-booking statements apply to Priority Pass membership, not to the card benefit. [5]
