We continue our monthly feature where we recommend a card to consider applying for right away during the course of the current month.  How do we pick which card should be highlighted? We’ll look at numerous factors however in most cases it will primarily be due to the limited time offer on the highlighted card ending this month or shortly thereafter. . In some cases, it may be different factors or a combination of factors. This month it’s the former however, where it is simply an offer that is set to end shortly after the end of this month. Disclaimer: This post is guidance provided by us for our readers – you don’t have to go out and get this card if it doesn’t suit your needs!

Here’s your Rewards Canada update! Your near daily dose of loyalty program, credit card and travel news, bonuses, deals and more. Scene+ sent out an email yesterday notifying members of a change in the redemption option for movies at Cineplex starting August 11. They are getting rid of the flat rate redemptions (1,250 to 2,500 points) and moving it inline with most other Scene+ redemptions of 100 points to $1. This will allow members to complete partial redemptions for movies in effect providing a discount or if you have enough points you can redeem for the full amount of the movie ticket.Starting August 11, 2022, Scene+ members will no longer redeem a set number of points per ticket type. Instead, Scene+ members will be able to redeem 100 points for $1 towards your movie tickets.*A quick look at some current ticket pricing shows this will be a slight devaluation when redeeming for some tickets but might actually work out better for some other tickets.
