Ratehub’s review

Natasha Macmillan

The Scotiabank Scene Visa Card is a great starter card if you want to break into the world of credit card rewards. Your points can be redeemed for anything from groceries to flights, and you’ll get a decent earn rate on bonus categories at partner merchants.

Pros

  • No annual fee: The card won’t cost you anything, even if your theatre visits slow down
  • Bonus points at partner stores: Earn unlimited bonus points on groceries, Home Hardware and Cineplex purchases
  • Flexible redemption: users can spend their points on movies, but also dining, travel, banking and more
  • No cost for additional users, letting you rack up points faster
  • Save up to 25% off car rentals at participating AVIS and Budget locations

Cons

  • Base rate isn’t very competitive: Other cards offer accelerated points for streaming services, public transit and other everyday spending categories
