About Cineplex
There are currently 164 Cineplex theatres with more than 1,600 screens across the country. It serves about 77 million guests annually through the following brands: Cineplex Cinemas, Cineplex Odeon, Cineplex VIP Cinemas, Galaxy Cinemas, SilverCity Cinemas, and Scotiabank Theatres.
How to earn Scene points
Earning Scene points starts with a membership card. With a Scene card, you earn points on all Cineplex purchases. If you frequently visit your local Cineplex theatre, you can accumulate points faster. Once you have 1,250 Scene points, you can redeem them for one free general admission movie at any Cineplex theatre.
At the theatre, you’ll earn the following Scene points:
- 125 points each time you buy a general admission movie ticket
- 125 points for each 3D movie ticket
- 200 points for an enhanced ticket (UltraAVX, Imax, D-Box), and
- 250 points for every VIP ticket.
For child movie tickets, you’ll earn 65 points for a general admission movie ticket or 3D ticket and 100 points for an enhanced movie ticket (UltraAVX, Imax, D-Box). You can also earn 50 bonus points when you set up a Scenetourage (a group of three to 10 family members or friends that you see movies with).
You’ll also earn the following Scene points on concession stand purchases at the theatre:
- 100 bonus points for popcorn, drink and candy combos
- 5 points for each dollar you spend on individual snacks, foods and drinks
Once you’re inside the theatre, you may have another opportunity to earn Scene points before the movie begins. Using a mobile device, you can compete against other people on the TimePlay app (available for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry). Everyone who plays receive Scene points, and the winners may also get bonus prizes such as food vouchers.
You no longer have to go to the theatre to earn points. You’ll earn 10 points per $1 spent on digital movie downloads at the Cineplex Store. You’ll also earn one Scene point for every $1 you spend at The Rec Room and one Scene point for every $3 spent at the following restaurants: Swiss Chalet, Harvey’s, Montana’s, Milestones, Bier Markt, East Side Mario’s, Kelseys, Fionn MacCool’s, D’Arcy McGee’s, Paddy Flaherty’s, and Tir nan Òg.
The value of your Scene points
You can redeem 1,250 Scene points for a free general admission movie ticket or 3D ticket, 2,000 points for an enhanced movie tickets (UltraAVX, Imax, D-Box), or 2,500 points for a VIP ticket.
Using Toronto movie ticket prices (including taxes), here’s the value of your Scene points for each type of ticket:
| Food | Redemption | Value of one Scene point |
| Concession food and drink combos | 500 points = $5 off | $0.01 per point |
| Individual food, drink and snack items | 500 points = $5 off | $0.01 per point |
Looking at the value of one Scene point, it’s easy to see that you’ll get a better value by redeeming your points for a 3D or D-Box ticket.
Earn more points with a Scotiabank Scene Visa or debit card
