FAQ
Why can't I just continue to use my AIR MILES card?
We're excited to offer the Scene+ program - a whole new way to reward our loyal customers, like you.
Scene+ members can earn and spend their Scene+ points through banking with Scotiabank; escaping to Cineplex Theatres and entertainment venues; visiting more than 700 Recipe restaurants across Canada, including Swiss Chalet, Harveys and Montana's; enjoying extraordinary experiences like travel powered by Expedia; and now free groceries at our family of stores.
Are physical cards available or do I need to download the Scene+ app?
Yes, customers can pick up a physical card in one of our participating stores. Please note that only one physical card is available per Scene+ account, but additional family members are able to download the Scene+ app and use the same Scene+ account to rack up points for the family.
Can I have more than one physical card for my account?
Members can only have one Scene+ physical card per account. For access to your card at your fingertips, or family sharing, download the Scene+ app.
Do I need to download the Scene+ app to earn points?
You can earn and redeem points using your physical Scene+ card without the app. The app offers you your card at your fingertips and instant access to your points balance and exclusive member offers. Plus opt in for push communications to get notified about exclusive offers and deals.
Do I need to download one of the grocery store apps to earn Scene+ points?
