Re: Scene Points. Do you collect them? Do you work the system like PC Pts?

I have had a card forever and it is linked to a Scene Visa card that I rarely use. (I usually build a credit on this Visa and then use it on vacation)
My Scene points are 5822 (is this $50?) Majority of the points is from a bonus offer when I signed up for the Scene Visa.

Do you have a strategy for redeeming the points for the best bang for your buck?

I glanced at Scene+-this program is supposed to launch at Home Hardware this summer! You might find a reason to shop at Home Hardware soon (earn points in-store or online!). https://scenesupport.zendesk.com/hc/...Home-Hardware-

Guess that store has left Aeroplan? Scene+ must be launching soon in August as Home Hardware has a Facebook post about the program: https://www.facebook.com/reel/987578245917056
Oh, your balance could get you $50 Redemption at Sobeys (5000pts).

Afternoon today went to "once upon a child " for daughter got $29.00

Then popped into jysk (3) facecloths on clearance 2.98
set of 4 dishcloths 4.99(much needed item)

Then on to talize

a laura tank top very dressy and new (2 small pin holes on the top near tag,so asked for a reduction ) got 20% off 7.99-20%=6.39

a small barbie doll chelsea Brand new in box and 2 pkgs of barbie clothing brand new in pkg =8.49-10%seniors=$7.64
2 pairs of walmart ladies socks brand new in pkg 2.29-10%=2.06 or 1.03 a pair

I missed 50% off day last thursday was babysitting and the cashier told me people were lined up at 6.30 a.m waiting for store to open at 7.00 a.m .A sign of the times to save 50% on used clothing for sure.

The fitting rooms at Talize must have had lines too! Incentive for me to visit Upper James St to return bottles at Beer Store and swing into Talize before a movie later in the week. Thanks for the store report!
