Desjardins Odyssey Gold vs Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite

Scotiabank Passport offers 2 Scene+ points/$1 on groceries, dining, entertainment, and transit plus 6 lounge visits/year at $150/year. For Québec Desjardins members: Odyssey Gold's 0% FX fee, higher travel earn (3x vs 2x on travel), and lower annual fee ($130 vs $150) make it the better card if you don't value lounge access. For non-Desjardins members outside Québec: Scotiabank Passport is the stronger standalone offer.

Desjardins operates caisses in Québec, Ontario, and New Brunswick. Members of eligible caisses outside Québec can apply. Generally not available in BC, Alberta, or western provinces without an existing Desjardins membership.
