Eligible purchases include purchases (less any refunds, returns or other similar credits) but do not include payments, cash advances (including balance transfers or cash-like transactions), interest, fees or other charges.
The applicable point Bonus will be credited approximately 2-3 business days after the qualifying amount in eligible purchases (i.e., $1,000 or $7,500) has been posted to the Account (within the first 3 months for the 25,000 Point Bonus or within the first 12 months for the 20,000 Point Bonus)provided the Account is open and in good standing.

If a supplementary cardholder completes the last qualifying transaction, the applicable point Bonus will be credited to the Primary Borrower’s Scene+ account. Points can be transferred between Primary and Co-Borrower or Supplementary Cardholder’s Scene+ accounts by contacting Scene+.
