With Scotiabank’s extensive catalogue of Scene+ credit cards, there are multiple ways to pocket Scene+ points on specialized categories like groceries, entertainment, travel, gas, and more. But what if you could earn and redeem even more points at the pump?
Scene+ and Shell Canada have officially teamed up nationwide. Now, Canadians can collect Scene+ points on fuel, convenience purchases, and car washes. Once enough points are earned, they’re redeemable towards those same expenses, creating the perfect closed-loop rewards cycle. These extra points can also be put towards other Scene+ redemption opportunities, like entertainment, travel, groceries, and dining.
From the gas pump to buttered popcorn, your morning commute will cover upcoming movie nights and so much more.
As of May 26, 2026, this partnership is live Canada-wide. Just in time to optimize summer road trips, slushies, and sunsets through squeaky-clean windshields.
Simply put, when visiting a Shell gas station, Scene+ members earn the following:
Note that Scene+ points cannot be collected on the following purchases1:
Once you earn at least 1,000 Scene+ points, you can redeem them for $10 off fuel, car washes, and qualifying convenience purchases2, yielding an impressive 1 cent-per-point value.
The best part? When you redeem your points, you'll still earn Scene+ points on the value of your purchase, meaning you'll simultaneously collect points as you spend them.
Better yet, eligible Scotiabank cardholders receive up to 10¢ per litre3 in value on fuel with an eligible Scotiabank card linked to Shell Go+.
Instead of using your Scene+ points solely at Shell stations, members can also redeem points collected at the pump on other qualifying purchases made at participating partners.
General redemption categories include:
Alongside Shell purchases, entertainment, travel, groceries, and restaurants yield the same 1 cent-per-point value.
To learn more about the Scene+ program as a whole, check out our Points Value Calculator.
For starters, when you link your Scene+ membership in the Shell App, you can expect the following benefits:
If you’re an eligible Scotiabank cardholder, expect up to 10¢ per litre3 in value when you link your card to Shell Go+. This pairing provides:
You can also link your CAA membership to your Shell Go+ account for:
Bottom line: To extract the most value out of each eligible transaction, combine your Scene+ points with Shell Go+ bonuses, CAA membership rewards, and eligible credit card rewards.

For frequent flyers who want a single card that handles almost every travel need, this one’s hard to beat. It offers a hefty intro bonus, an annual Scene+ Travel credit that’s as good as cash when you book through Expedia, and complimentary DragonPass lounge visits each year. Pair that with no foreign‑currency markup, rich earn rates on travel and dining/entertainment, and unusually comprehensive travel insurance, and the annual fee can pay for itself quickly for anyone who travels a few times a year.

Scene+ earning credit cards yield the most value, but you can also link non-Scene+ earning Scotiabank credit cards to Shell Go+ and Scene+ to take advantage of some savings.
For instant savings, members can also link eligible Scotiabank debit cards to their Shell Go+ account. For more details on eligible products, check out Scotiabank's official website.
To link your eligible Scotiabank credit card to Shell Go+9, complete the following:
Note that qualifying Scotiabank linked credit cards that earn Scene+ points already have their Scene+ account linked to Shell Go+.
Once you're set up with Scene+ and Shell Go+, you’ll want to add a couple of pins to your road trip route.
To find the Shell stations leading up to your destination, or those scattered across your hometown, use the Shell station locator. This map comes in handy when your tank (or your stomach) is running low on fuel.
To pay for your gas, snacks, or car wash, you can use your physical linked credit card, the Shell App, Apple Pay or Google Pay8.
A convenient way to cover the cost is by downloading the Shell App to use Shell EasyPay. Not only can you then tap your phone to complete a purchase, but you’ll also have all your rewards tucked into one place, making them easier to keep track of.
Members can also enter the phone number connected to their Shell Go+ account to make their transaction.
If you don’t have enough points to pay for the entire purchase, you can make a partial payment using your Scene+ points and fund the difference using cash, debit or credit.
The new Scene+ and Shell partnership ensures that Canadians can optimize every mile, rewarding each purchase at the pump, convenience counter, and washing station. The program boasts multiple ways to stack your points and a system that pays with each redemption, fuelling a revolving rewards system that fills your tank and your wallet.
With more than 1,400 Shell locations nationwide, it’s now easier than ever to make every pit stop count.
Not if you’ve linked your accounts! If you link your Scene+ membership and your eligible Scotiabank card to your Shell Go+ account in the Shell app, the points will be tracked automatically when you pay with that card. You can also pay via the app using "EasyPay" for a seamless experience.
Yes! One of the best features of this partnership is flexibility. You can redeem your points in increments of 1,000 ($10 off). If your total is $50 and you only want to use 2,000 points, you’ll get $20 off and can pay the remaining $30 with your debit or credit card.
Absolutely! In fact, this is how you reach up to 13¢ per litre maximum value. As long as your CAA membership is linked to your Shell Go+ account (which is also linked to your Scene+ and eligible bank card), all the discounts apply automatically in a single transaction.
