*** Update December 3rd 2021: Confirmation of the date of change (13 December 2021)
Scene+ is a joint venture between Scotiabank and Cineplex. Scotiabank has the rewards program Scotia Rewards and Cineplex has the SCENE+ program. They will merge their respective rewards programs to create Scene+.
Good news: the valuation and accumulation of points will remain the same. This new program will make it possible to obtain and exchange Scene+ points on :
Between December 4th and 12th 2021, the SCENE website and application will be inaccessible. During this period, you will continue to earn points. Then, as of December 13, 2021, SCENE+ will be in effect.
SCENE points and Scotia Rewards will be transferred 1:1 to a SCENE+ account.
For SCENE members, their SCENE membership number and login details will remain the same. They will be able to continue to use the existing physical card or the digital card on the application, which will become SCENE+.
For those with Scotia Rewards points who are not SCENE members, a new account will be created. A digital SCENE+ membership card will be emailed by December 31, 2021.
At present, SCENE members can only redeem their points for meals at partner restaurants (Swiss Chalet, Harvey’s, etc.) and entertainment purchases at Cineplex cinemas.
From now on, SCENE+ points will be Scene+ points much more versatile. They will not expire as long as the member retains a Scotiabank product eligible for the Scene+ program. As soon as this product is closed, the points will expire after 24 months of inactivity on the Scene+ account.
