Get more for your money, whether you’re single, in a relationship or part of a big fun-loving family. You’ve earned it.

Slowly but surely, the world is reopening, which means you’re probably looking for exciting ways to make memories and treat yourself and your family. The good news? You can indulge in those special moments while earning points toward all kinds of perks, from travel to shopping.

How? With Scene+, the new expanded loyalty program that merges SCENE and Scotia Rewards, you have even more opportunities to earn and redeem points.

If you were already a SCENE or Scotia Rewards member as of December 2021, you’ve already been upgraded to the new Scene+ program. If not, you can sign up at sceneplus.ca or through the Scene+ app.

Here’s how it works:

  • Make purchases through partner brands and earn Scene+ points.
  • Redeem those points for free movies, travel, dinning, entertainment, travel and online shopping at great brands like Best Buy and Apple.
  • Earn points even faster with eight different Scene+ banking products through Scotiabank.

We’ve listed a few ideas for adventures to get you started on earning and redeeming your points at the same time.

 

1. Camp out in your backyard or basement—with takeout

Throw up the tent (or make an indoor oasis with blankets, chairs and twinkly lights) and order dinner from your favourite restaurant—Harvey’s, Swiss Chalet, East Side Mario’s, Montana's BBQ and Bar and more.

Your reward: Earn one point for every $3 spent and redeem 500 points for $5 off.

 

2. Book a party for your kiddo’s with Cineplex

The ultimate destination for parties of any kind—from birthdays, to just an exciting Friday night out with friends, Cineplex theatres make for the ultimate escape. After enjoying the magic of the movies, visit Playdium or The Rec Room for a variety of eats & entertainment that the whole family will enjoy. It’ll be a night they never forget.

 

Your reward: Earn five points for every $1 spent at Cineplex theatres, and redeem points on your ticket & snacks. At Playdium and The Rec Room you’ll earn one point for every $1 spent and can redeem 500 points for $5 toward game tokens, snacks and fun.

 

3. Plan a weekend road trip with Scene+ Travel, Powered by Expedia

Rent a car, book a hotel and hit the road. Bring an instant camera (buy it through Scene+ Rakuten for extra points) and take pics of your getaway that you’ll treasure forever.

Your reward: Earn 100 points for every $1 towards your next vacation. Earn three points for every $1 you spend on hotel and car rentals with Scene+ Travel, Powered by Expedia if you pay with points or cash. 

 

4. Battle it out on the air hockey table at The Rec Room

5. Spruce up your living space

Log on to Scene+ Rakuten and order décor pieces online from your fave retailers like Hudson’s Bay and Indigo. You might want to try a sculptural lamp, hand-knotted shag rug or vibrant artwork—but make sure that whatever you buy speaks to you and fits your overall aesthetic.

Your reward: Earn Cash Back in Scene+ points on your purchases. You can earn up to 20 percent more Cash Back in points through the program. Plus, Scene+ members who open a new Rakuten account will get a $10 sign-up bonus.

 

6. Rent the Oscar nominees and winners from the Cineplex Store

Light some candles, pour yourself a glass of wine and dig into the year’s buzziest movies (think Dune, Licorice Pizza and West Side Story) from the comfort of your couch. Want to go out instead? You can reap the same rewards on movie and entertainment purchases at over 160 Cineplex locations across Canada.

Your reward: Earn five points for every $1 spent and redeem 100 points for $1 off your rental or purchase.

Whichever way you choose to redeem your points, use those moments to reward yourself.
