One of the most advantageous options when exchanging Scene+ points is to use it to reimburse a travel expense.
Several credit cards give Scene+ points.
But the one used for this example is the Scotiabank Gold American Express® card.
Plus, frequent Scene+ offers and promotions make earning points even easier. Stay tuned and check out our regularly updated article with all the latest promotions:
The process is simple to redeem your points. However, knowing where to start the process is not necessarily obvious.
First, go to your Scotiabank Online Banking profile. Under your credit card is the balance of Scene+ points. Click on Show Scene+ rewards.
Then a new window opens. Choose View All, under “Redeem Rewards”.
Then click on the Travel section.
On the next page, click on Apply Points for Travel.
Finally, you find yourself on the long-awaited page!
Eligible travel expenses are automatically displayed. The Scene+ program is very flexible, accepting expenses for the past 12 months. In addition, a minimum balance of 5,000 Scene+ points is required to make an exchange.
Check off the travel expense(s). For example, for the Intercontinental Chicago hotel cost of $353, I can apply all 32,041 points I have.
Since 100 points = $1 credit, this has a value of $320.41.
To confirm the exchange, click Continue.
To confirm the exchange, click Yes, I want to continue.
To conclude, Scene+ summarizes the exchange and the new balance at Scene+ points. If all is well, click Accept and Submit to finalize the transaction.
A confirmation message is displayed and the transaction is complete! An e-mail will also be sent for your records.
Thanks to Scene+ Travel by Expedia, you can earn 3 points for every dollar spent on hotel reservations, car rentals and excursions.
Then, Scene+ points can be used to reduce the cost of this travel expense!
Thanks to Scene+ points, this stay at the Intercontinental Chicago will cost me $33 net ($353 bill – $320 at Scene+ points). This is excellent!
Moreover, thanks to the Scotiabank® Gold American Express® Card‘s zero foreign transaction fee, I’ve avoided an additional 2.5% charge on my hotel bill. This makes me doubly happy.
