Our Review
SCENE VISA Card
The SCENE Visa Card from Scotiabank allows cardholders to earn points to be redeemed for free movie tickets or towards the cost of your purchases at any Cara-affiliated restaurants, all for no annual fee.
With this card you will earn 5 SCENE per dollar spent at participating Cineplex Entertainment theaters or online at cineplex.com, plus one point per dollar on all other purchases.
If you’re new to credit cards, love going to the movies and frequently eat at Cara-affiliated restaurants, this might be the card for you- it can help you build your credit while rewarding you with movies and food for doing what you love, all for no annual fee! However, you won’t be able to make any big savings with this card’s rewards, as they are very limited.
As per our rating system, this card scored 19/25 on rewards, 16/25 on interest rates and balance transfers, 8/25 on perks and insurance, and 25/25 on annual fees. Therefore, the total smart score of this card is 68/100.
