Here’s our guide to unlocking the ultimate Scene+ points earning weekend in Edmonton

Let’s face it, weekends tend to be jam-packed with outings and activities.

With endless options for things to see and do, we figured we should be making the most of our weekends — which often involve some spending. Thankfully the Scotiabank®* American Express® Card helps us narrow down our options with ways to earn perks while we spend. How ideal?

When a credit card provider allows us to earn up to 10,000 bonus Scene+™ points within the first year (which equals up to $100 towards travel), we sit up and take notice.

That’s exactly what’s on offer (until October 31, 2022) with the Scotiabank®* American Express® credit card which also allows users to earn two Scene+™ points for every $1 spent on eligible grocery, dining, entertainment, gas, daily transit, and select streaming services purchased. Cardmembers will also earn one Scene+™ point on other everyday purchases.

Given weekends are the perfect time to gather as many points as you can, we’ve curated the ultimate weekend guide in Edmonton to ensure you’re doing the activities that will earn you extra.

Fancy a Friday night boogie to the latest dance, pop, hip-hop and r&b beats? Then let your hair down with the resident DJ at The Rec Room, located in South Edmonton Common while earning two Scene+™ points for every $1 spent. And don’t forget to use your Scene+™  membership card too — you will earn one point for every $1 spent at The Rec Room. By using both your Scotiabank^®* American Express^® Card and Scene+™ membership, you can easily earn points two ways at once.

Once you’ve recovered, gather your nearest and dearest and enjoy a Czech-inspired meal like authentic goulash, cabbage soup, wiener schnitzel, or a range of European-style dishes at Bistro Praha. An added bonus? Scotiabank®* American Express® Card members will earn two Scene+™ points for every $1 spent.

Sunday is a great day for road-tripping into the great outdoors. If you book a rental car through Scene+™ Travel, Powered by Expedia, you’ll earn three points for every $1 spent, meaning you can enjoy your trip to Tawayik Lake Trail because you know you’ll be able to redeem your acquired points in the future. Plus you’ll be feeling fit and refreshed for the week ahead.

We recommend rounding off your weekend and quenching your thirst with a well-earned beer at Omen Brewing while earning two Scene+™ points for every $1 spent — the next round’s on you.
