Everyone loves a freebie. Almost everyone loves a good movie. Put them together, and you’ve got the premise for the Scotiabank Scene credit card. For the past seven years, the Scene card has helped Canadians catch the latest flicks for free.
 
This year, Scene cardholders have something else to celebrate besides the arrival of summer blockbusters – Scotiabank is doubling their sign-up bonus for accounts opened by October 31, 2014. This means that new members will earn 4,000 bonus points for opening an account, as opposed to the usual 2,000 points. That’s four free movie tickets, just for signing up!
