How to Earn Scene Points: Use the Scene Card and Earn Free Movies
– canadianfinanceblog.com
If going to movies is your thing, signing up for Scene movie rewards is one of the best ways to get bang for your buck. This popular loyalty program has been around since 2007, and is the result of a partnership between Scotiabank and Cineplex theatres.
The concept is simple. You earn points anytime you spend money on movies and snacks at Cineplex theatres.
You also earn Scene points when you dine at a number of participating restaurants, such as Montana’s, Swiss Chalet and Harvey’s, just to name a few. Signing up for the Scene program is free, and you can start earning points right away.
Benefits of the Scene Card
When you become a Scene Rewards member, you receive a card that can be used when you go to the movies, as well as for other perks.
In addition, Scotiabank offers their own Scene credit and debit cards which allow you to collect Scene points. We’ll take a closer look at those a bit later.
First, let’s review the regular rewards program.

July 30 Update: Three Canadian Hotels in the latest IHG PointBreaks, some BMO card changes coming and playing catch up!
– RewardsCanada.ca
Rewards Canada was off last week for some R&R but of course that was interrupted with the Air Canada news that they along with TD, CIBC and Visa want to buy Aeroplan from Aimia so we did a lot of interviews about it from Southern California! We’ll have full coverage of that news tomorrow and we’ll also play catch up on other news from mbna (not good news), Aeroplan (the transfer bonus is back), WestJet and more. Last week the newest IHG Rewards Club PointBreaks were released, we prescheduled our post as we were travelling when it went live so we couldn’t cover what Canadian hotels were on the list and really not much was missed. Only three Canadian hotels were included this time at the 10,000 point level. The Holiday Inn Calgary-Airport, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Terrace and Staybridge Suites London are the hotels being offered at a discounted rate. You can find all the details here.Jsut a heads up – some BMO credit cards will have some slight changes coming to them on August 8th…
