This means you can get a 2-6% return on grocery purchases if you shop at these stores. This is very attractive when compared to other credit cards available on the market for the grocery category.
Thus, for a $100 purchase at an IGA grocery store paid with the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card, you can earn 600 points ($100 X 6 points/$1). This represents a value of $6 or 6%.
And this is in addition to what you can get by showing your Scene+ membership card! This is a double-dip opportunity thanks to the Scene+ promotions available on certain items.
Then, you can use your Scene+ points for your purchases to pay for your groceries, with every 1,000 Scene+ points equaling to a $10 discount at checkout.
At IGA, Scene+ points are only awarded on the purchase of selected products according to flyer offers or personalized offers. If you also pay with a Scotiabank Scene+ credit card, you have a double-dip strategy that allows you to optimize your rewards.
Here is an example of a $203.82 purchase at IGA paid with the Scotiabank Gold American Express Card, which earned 200 bonus points on the purchase of one product and 1,223 points ($203.82 x 6 points/$ spent) thanks to this credit card.
It’s the same with a $58.77 purchase at IGA paid with the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Card, which earned 20 bonus points on the purchase of one product and 176 points ($58.77 x 3 points/$ spent).
