Scene+ has a new partner – Tangerine. Maybe they're not technically new as they are owned by Scotiabank, but nevertheless, Tangerine is now an official Scene+ partner.
The new Tangerine Scene+ credit card is now available – the Tangerine Rewards World Elite Mastercard.
Unlike other Tangerine cards, this one not only earns Scene+ points but has an annual fee, tons of insurance, and perks like complimentary lounge access.
There are also some changes coming to how you earn Scene+ points at Cineplex, starting on May 13, 2026.

A new Tangerine Scene+ credit card
It's not every day you get a new credit card. (Although Neo recently launched one, too!)
And this card is much different from what you're used to from Tangerine Mastercards. First, it has an annual fee of $120. Tangerine is stepping up into the premium credit card world.
Plus, Tangerine's other cards earn cash back, while this card earns flexible Scene+ rewards points.
The basics of the rewards are similar, however. You get to pick which categories earn you bonus rewards.
- 1.5 Scene+ points per $1 spent in 3 reward categories of your choice
- 1 Scene+ point per $1 spent on all other purchases
As for those categories? The same choices as what all Tangerine cards can choose from.
The perks? This is where the Tangerine Rewards World Elite Mastercard further differs from what Tangerine has always offered.
First, the insurance package – 12 coverages are included. Here are the full details.
Tangerine® Rewards World Elite® Mastercard®**
| Extended Warranty | 1 year |
| Purchase Protection | 90 days |
| Mobile Device | $1,000 |
| Event Ticket Cancellation | Yes |
| Emergency Medical Term | 15 days |
| Emergency Medical Maximum Coverage | $5,000,000 |
| Trip Cancellation | $2,000 |
| Trip Interruption | $2,000 |
| Flight Delay | $500 |
| Baggage Delay | $500 |
| Lost or Stolen Baggage | $1,000 |
| Hotel Burglary | $1,000 |

Please review your insurance certificate for details, exclusions and limitations of your coverage.
There are a few other perks. First off – the annual bonus. Spend $30,000 per year on the card, and on your anniversary, you'll be awarded 10,000 bonus points.
The other major perk is airport lounge access. It comes with the usual Mastercard Travel Pass membership, like all World Elite Mastercards, but it also includes 4 free lounge passes.
Changes to earning Scene+ points at Cineplex
Starting on May 13, 2026, how you earn points at Cineplex is changing. And for the most part, not for the better.
Currently, you earn 5 Scene+ points per $1 spent on everything.
After May 13, it boils down to this – you'll be earning 3 Scene+ points per $1 spent on everything. The only exception is that for premium movie tickets (i.e., 3D, UltraAVX, dBox, IMAX), you'll start earning 6 Scene+ points per $1 spent.
The full details are available here.
