One of the most interesting options when redeeming Scene+ points is to use them to reimburse a travel expense.
There are several credit cards that earn 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. Your Scene+ points balance is shown below your credit card. 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. A minimum balance of 5,000 Scene+ points is required to request an account credit.
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+ provides a summary of the exchange and the new Scene+ points balance. If all is well, click Accept and Submit to finalize the transaction.
A confirmation message is displayed and the transaction is complete! An email 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 simply 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 (bill of $353 – $320 in points Scene+). This is excellent!
On top of that, thanks to zero conversion fees with the Scotiabank Gold American Express® Card, I’ve avoided an additional 2.5% charge on my hotel bill. This makes me doubly happy.
To activate a Scene+ card, you must be a member of the Scene+ program. You will need to go to the following site to register: https://www.sceneplus.ca/fr-ca.
Every eligible purchase at a Scene+ program partner earns Scene+ points. With these points, you can earn grocery store discounts, free movies, travel credits, gift cards and free meals at partner restaurants.
If you have a Scene+ credit card (or a Scene+ debit card), you can apply your Scene+ points directly to the purchase of any trip. Simply charge your trip to a participating Scotiabank card and use your Scene+ points to pay for the trip within 12 months of the booking date.
