you&#8217;ve earned a nice pile of points, then comes the fun part!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the <strong>CIBC Aventura<\/strong> and the <strong>Scotiabank Scene+<\/strong> program offer multiple ways to redeem your points, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"component component__list checkmarks\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-checkmarks\">\n<li>Travel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Statement credits and

id=\"h-travel\">Travel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With both the <strong>CIBC Aventura<\/strong> program and the <strong>Scotiabank Scene+<\/strong> program, one of the absolute best ways to redeem your points is for travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cibc-aventura\">CIBC Aventura<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The CIBC Aventura program offers a couple different ways to redeem your points for travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first, and most valuable, travel option is to redeem your Aventura points for a round-trip economy flight using the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/aventura-flight-rewards-chart\/\">CIBC Aventura Flight Rewards Chart<\/a>. This option has the potential to get you a <strong>value of up 2.3 cents per Aventura point<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use this chart for your redemption, you redeem your points to cover the base fare of your flight, up to a tiered maximum cost based on where you&#8217;re flying to\/from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second way you can <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/how-to-use-points-aventura-travel\/\">use your Aventura points to save on travel<\/a> is through <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/news\/programs\/cibc-by-expedia-expansion\/\">CIBC by Expedia<\/a>, which lets you book travel through their travel portal and then <strong>redeem your points for 1 cent each<\/strong> to cover your flight, hotel, car rental, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also get that same value per point by taking advantage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/rewards\/special-offers\/cibc-aventura-travel-promo\/\">Aventura redemption promotion<\/a>, redeeming your points to your pending transaction in the travel category to get a statement credit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you can choose to redeem your points for a gift card from a travel merchant (e.g., Air Canada). <\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents wp-block-milesgutenberg-deferred-contents\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tdata-template='s'\n\t\t\t\tdata-post_type='post'\n\t\t\t\tdata-per_page='4'\n\t\t\t\tclass='deferred_container--preload container_post container_template--s container_count--4'\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-tag=\"post_id\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_ids=\"472210,234061,476401,190588\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t<article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article><article class=\"post-preview\">\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-thumbnail\">\n\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-image\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"post-preview-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simmer-bar-group\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"shimmer shimmer-bar\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-scotiabank-scene\">Scotiabank Scene+<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of this comparison, you can use your Scene+ points to book travel through Scene+ by Expedia. Similarly to CIBC&#8217;s option, this travel booking portal lets you make reservations as you normally would and then <strong>redeem your Scene+ points for 1 cent each<\/strong> to cover the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, with Scene+, you can use the program&#8217;s &#8220;Points for Travel&#8221; feature, which lets you <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/tutorials\/save-travel-sceneplus-points\/\">save on travel by redeeming your Scene+ points<\/a> for eligible travel purchases made on the card within the last 12 months, also for a value of 1 cent per point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This option is particularly convenient to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/milesopedia.com\/en\/guide\/strategy\/independent-hotels\/\">save money on smaller boutique hotels, Airbnbs<\/a>, car rentals, and other travel expenses that you can&#8217;t cover with hotel and airline loyalty points.<\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"component component__deferred_contents

your Aventura points and Scene+ points is to redeem them for merchandise and\/or gift cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, neither of these options represents the best value for your points, so we recommend you choose these redemptions only if you have no plans to ever use the points in other more valuable ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of <strong>redeeming for merchandise, only CIBC Aventura lets you peruse a catalogue of items that you can acquire with your points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, given that it&#8217;s impossible to know exactly what any given item would cost in cash, we can&#8217;t really confirm a value for these redemptions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, to give an example, our recent search showed us a Breville Nespresso Pixie Espresso machine available for as few as 27,300 Aventura points, with the item typically retailing for around $240.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives us a <strong>value of 0.88 cents per point<\/strong> for this particular merchandise redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gift-cards\">Gift cards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of redeeming points for gift cards, let&#8217;s compare the same option from both

crowning Scotiabank&#8217;s Scene+ as the winner since it lets you earn points across both Visa and American Express cards, giving you the ability to pick a card that has a perks and benefits package that really suits your spending and travel style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the program&#8217;s cards offer many fairly unique and valuable perks like Amex Offers and the ability to spend in a foreign currency without incurring the usual 2.5% foreign transaction fee.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bottom-line\">Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we are at the end of our head-to-head, and we now need to decide if one of these two programs is better than the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After comparing the CIBC Aventura program and the Scotiabank Scene+ program, what we&#8217;ve found is that each program offers a solid amount of value for the right person, and that the best program is whichever one suits your spending style and redemption desires the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re most inclined towards getting good value and saving money on a flight, you may prefer the CIBC Aventura program, which gives you access to the Aventura Flight Rewards Chart and good opportunities to save on travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if you&#8217;ve your eyes on a no-FX credit card that offers strong travel perks, or you like the idea of saving on your day-to-day expenses like groceries, the Scotiabank Scene+ program may be the better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conveniently, both programs are easy to access, so you should have no trouble enjoying whichever one is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering what to read next?
