Happy Halloween! Rundown of the Scene Program 2018
Happy Halloween Everyone!
We continue our annual (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) tradition of providing a rundown of the Scene rewards program on this day. This year might have been the year that I went to watch the most movies ever. I accrued a fair number of Scene points that needed to be used. So I am more excited this year when writing up this post.
Earning Points
Cineplex
There are no shortage of ways to earn points.

- Earn 2,000 sign up points (sometimes 4,000 or 5,000 sign up bonuses) with the Scotiabank Scene Visa Card (unfortunately there is only a once in a lifetime sign up bonus option, so if you have the card already, you mine as well keep it)
- Earn with the Scene Prepaid Reloadable Visa cards
- Transfer Scotia Rewards points
Other earning options
- Earn points with Carrot Rewards by completing surveys and complete steps challenges/goals (I chose Scene points as my earning option)
- Earn 1,000 points on each increment of $100 spent on tickets to any live sports, concerts, or theatre events listed as part of Fanxchange’s extensive inventory (plus earn 1 point for every $1 you spend)
- Earn 1 point for every $1 spent at The REC Room
- Earn 1 point for every $3 spent at restaurant partners (Bier Markt, D’Arcy McGee’s, East Side Mario’s, Fionn MacCool’s, Harvey’s, Kelsey’s, Montana’s, Milestones, Swiss Chalet)
* Look for bonus points promotions (load the offer into your account online or on mobile) when spending at partner restaurants.

Personal Experience
Personally, I am a huge fan of the Scene rewards program. Going to the movies have become a very expensive form of entertainment. Call me old school, but I still enjoy going to the theatres and Scene points has made it possible for me without feeling the pitch in my wallet.
I hope that this program continues to stay strong!
