Cineplex Scene Cards

Hello again,

My previous post was about Shoppers Optimum cards, now I would like to share my thoughts on one of my favorite cards.

I am the type of person who enjoys going to the movies often, I don’t know about you guys but movie tickets have become quite expensive! An adult ticket is about $16 I believe, which is crazy…not to mention the ridiculous price of Popcorn, snacks and drinks.

Note: Movie tickets are half price on Tuesdays

I have had my Cineplex Scene card for over 8 years, so I guess you can call me a loyal customer.

I feel like this card suits most ages…I got my first card when I was 15. I loved it then and I love it even more now that I know the value of a dollar lol.
These days I refuse to pay regular price for a movie so I do what I can to earn points more efficiently.

The main reason I enjoy this card is because I can earn FREE movies!

Here are a few ways I maximize my point earnings…

I discovered this mobile fitness app called “Carrot” which is linked to businesses like Cineplex. What this app does is it tracks your foot steps in a day and gives you a target step count which you must achieve to earn scene points. Yes…you get free points just for walking.

I really like that Cineplex linked their loyalty card to this app because it encourages people to exercise more, it is essentially like a free step counter. It also notifies you when you are eligible to do a short survey to gain even more free points. Cool eh?

I also think it was great how Cineplex linked their points card to Scotia-bank Visa cards, I think that is a smart way to get customers to sign up for the card. My mom has the Scene visa and just for signing up they gave her 10,000 worth of free scene points, which is 10 free movies! That is a pretty big saving and the visa annual fee is not a lot compared to some other visas like TD infinite for example.

If you are someone who enjoys going to the movies regularly but don’t want to spend the money, I suggest downloading that carrot App and consider switching or adding another Visa card to your wallet. Also don’t forget to use your scene card at popular restaurants like Swiss Chalet, Montana’s and Milestones.

Thanks for reading!

& Happy free-movie watching!
