The 6 Best Ways to Quickly Earn Scene+ Points

The Scene+ program is one of the fastest-growing loyalty programs in Canada.

It offers many ways to accumulate points that can be used for benefits such as travel, merchandise, gift cards or groceries.

As a rule of thumb, using 1,000 Scene+ points saves you $10!

Here are the 6 most advantageous ways to earn Scene+ points on a daily basis.

It’s the fastest and simplest way to earn more. By paying with a Scene+ credit card for daily expenses at grocery stores, gas stations, and other businesses you frequent, the points multiply and accumulate on their own.

Do your grocery shopping at IGA, Sobeys, or Foodland, or watch a movie at Cineplex Cinemas and you’ll score twice! Points will accumulate:

1. With credit card purchases (1 to 6 points per dollar, depending on the card)
2. With the added bonus of Scene+ points, simply by showing your Scene+ membership card at participating stores.

For example, for a purchase at the IGA grocery store, I accumulated 348 points:

• 208 Scene+ points with payment via my Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite card
• 140 Scene+ points because I showed my Scene+ membership card at the IGA checkout when I bought products giving Scene+ points

Here are a few credit cards linked to the Scene+ program:

While you eat your popcorn during your movie at a Cineplex Cinema, you also earn points from the Scene+ program.

Buying a movie ticket and food (like good double-butter popcorn, a bag of candy, nachos or a drink) at a concession earns you Scene+ points.

You’ll get:

• 5 points/$1 on the purchase of movie tickets at over 160 Cineplex theatres across Canada
• 5 points/$1 on food and beverages at food counters

Since you’re already booking your flight, rental car, all-inclusive trip or hotel, do it through Scene+ Travel by Expedia.

It’s the same as booking on the standard Expedia site, but you also get Scene+ points as a reward.

You earn 3 points for every dollar you spend on travel!

You can even use your Scene+ points to offset a trip when making a payment. For inspiration, check out our step-by-step tutorial on How to Earn and Redeem Scene+ Points on Expedia.

East Side Mario’s, Montana’s, Kelseys, Harvey’s, Bier Markt, Fionn MacCool’s, Swiss Chalet restaurants give 1 point for every $3 in eligible food and beverage purchases.

Be sure to check your Scene+ profile often for promotional offers.

For example, I’ve registered an offer that gives me 15 times more points when I pay for meals at Harvey’s. As a result, my Scene+ account accumulates more points with very little effort.

Don’t forget to pay your bill with your Scotiabank Gold American Express^® Card to earn 5 points per dollar spent on your meal.

Make it a habit to check your promotional offers in your Scene+ mobile app or on your profile on the Scene+ website. Spending a few moments each week to register for special offers will earn you more points.

A shopping portal is a platform that redirects you to the website of your favourite stores, while thanking you for your visit with rewards for your purchases.

It works very simply:

• Create an account on Scene+ Rakuten;
• Access your favourite stores via the portal;
• Order online as usual;
• A few days later, your reward will be deposited into your account.

For example, a $100 purchase from an online store with a 10% discount will give you $10 back in your account.

You’ll earn Scene+ points or cash back. It’s up to you!

There are plenty of stores to suit all tastes.

Check Rakuten regularly, as discounts are often increased during promotional periods!
