You've got to Learn to Earn!
Students can now get a VISA card that was designed with students in mind. The L’earn™ VISA* card offers an accelerated Moneyback reward program, automatic membership in the ScotiaStar Network program and a host of other great benefits. It’s the ideal choice for students who spend wisely and want to earn valuable cash rewards – that can really add up!
And best of all – there’s no annual fee!¹
Get up to a 1% Moneyback reward²
The L'earn VISA card automatically gives you a Moneyback reward of up to 1% on purchases you make with your card2. For students, we've significantly lowered the Moneyback reward tiers, so it's much easier to earn even more rewards.
The more you use you card, the more you’ll get back in return. As an example, if you were to put all of your spending on your card, and spent just over $200 per week on average over the course of a year (e.g., for books, tuition, transportation costs, utility bills or groceries), you’d receive a Moneyback reward of over $100 that year – which would be credited to your July VISA statement.
You can also use your card to pay your bills – it’s one of the easiest ways to maximize your Moneyback reward without spending any additional money. It’s like getting a discount on monthly bills you normally have to pay anyway.
Here's how the Moneyback reward program works:
