Scene+ Days: Earn Extra Points on Groceries, Movies, and Travel

Scene+ is launching its first-ever Scene+ Days event this November, giving members a simple way to earn extra points at popular retailers and partners including grocery stores, Cineplex, Home Hardware, and Scene+ Travel.

If you hold an eligible Scotiabank Scene+ credit or debit card, you can boost your earning power for three days straight just by shopping as you normally would.

What Is Scene+ Days?

Scene+ Days is a three-day bonus event running from November 7–9, 2025, where registered Scotiabank credit and debit cardholders can earn 1 Bonus Scene+ point per $1 spent on eligible purchases.

Registration is open until October 24, 2025, and is required to qualify for the bonus.

(Note: The registration form currently lists eligibility for Scene+ members whose account or Scotiabank address is in Ontario or Quebec — but many of the partner offers and card-based bonuses apply Canada-wide.)

Which Cards Qualify for the Scene+ Days Bonus?

You’ll earn bonus points when using any of the following Scotiabank Scene+ cards:

If you already have one of these cards, you’re set, just register. If not, now’s a great time to apply and take advantage of this limited promotion.

Currently, the Scotiabank^® Gold American Express^®* Card is offering up to 50,000 Scene+ points with the first year’s annual fee waived for new applicants. This card is the clear star for Scene+ collectors.

You’ll typically earn:

• 6x points per dollar at Sobeys, Safeway, Foodland, and FreshCo
• 5x points per dollar on other grocery chains, dining, entertainment, and select streaming services
• 3x points per dollar on gas, transit, and rideshares
• 1x point per dollar on all other purchases

During Scene+ Days, those rates climb to 7x, 6x, and 4x respectively.

It’s also one of the few Canadian credit cards with no foreign transaction fees and frequent Amex Offers that can further stretch your rewards.

Where Can You Earn Bonus Points During Scene+ Days?

During Scene+ Days, you can earn bonus points at national partners:

• Sobeys, Safeway, Foodland, FreshCo: Earn 1,000 Scene+ points when you spend $100 or more in a single transaction.
• Cineplex: Earn 2x points (10 points per $1 spent) on movie tickets.
• Recipe Restaurants (Harvey’s, Swiss Chalet, Kelseys, East Side Mario’s, Montana’s, Bier Markt): Earn 2x Scene+ points (2 points per $3 spent).
• Home Hardware: Earn 2x Scene+ points, or 100 points for every $50 spent.
• Scene+ Travel (powered by Expedia): Earn 2x Scene+ points (6x total) on hotel bookings made during the promotion for stays completed by April 30, 2026.

How Much Can You Earn During Scene+ Days?

Let’s look at a few examples.

$100 grocery purchase at Sobeys with your Scotiabank^® Gold American Express^®* Card.

• 1,000 Scene+ points from the grocery offer
• 600 Scene+ points from your credit card
• Additional 100 Scene+ points from Scene+ Days

That’s 1,700 Scene+ points, or about $17 in value, for a single grocery trip.

If you prefer grocery delivery, ordering through Voilà by Sobeys still earns the boosted rate, though the in-store 1,000-point offer may not apply.

Scene+ is also offering one year of free delivery for eligible members, so it’s worth checking your Scene+ dashboard to see if you qualify.

$1,000 hotel stay via the Scene+ travel portal with your Scotiabank Passport^™ Visa Infinite^* Card.

• 6,000 Scene+ points from the promotion
• 1,000 Scene+ points from your credit card

That’s 7,000 Scene+ points, roughly $70 in value, an effective 7% return.

How Do You Register for Scene+ Days?

To be eligible, you must:

1. Register by October 24, 2025, using this link.
2. Make eligible purchases between November 7–9, 2025.
3. Use an eligible Scotiabank credit or debit card linked to your Scene+ account.

Each member can earn up to 5,000 bonus Scene+ points across all purchases during the event (Partner-specific offers such as Sobeys’ 1,000-point grocery bonus are tracked separately and don’t count toward this limit)

Is Scene+ Days a Good Promotion?

Absolutely. It’s one of the easiest ways to supercharge your Scene+ earning with zero downside.

Between the extra Scene+ point bonus, partner-specific offers, and stacked earn rates of up to 7x, Scene+ Days is a win for anyone who regularly shops or travels within the Scene+ network.

And beyond the promotion, cards like the Scotiabank^® Gold American Express^®* Card and Scotiabank Passport^™ Visa Infinite^* Card are excellent long-term keepers for everyday spending, travel perks, and no foreign transaction fees.

Conclusion

Scene+ Days is a fun way to boost your balance on your regular shopping. Just register, shop as usual, and let the bonuses roll in.

Make sure to register by October 24, then spend between November 7–9, 2025, to enjoy boosted multipliers and limited-time partner bonuses.

If you’re serious about maximizing the event, consider picking up the Scotiabank^® Gold American Express^®* Card for its industry-leading 6X (and soon 7X) earn rate.
