SCENE members to earn and redeem points at all CARA restaurant locations
TORONTO, Feb. 11, 2015 /CNW/ - SCENE, Canada's largest entertainment loyalty program, today announced a strategic marketing partnership that will see CARA Operations Limited ("CARA") become the program's exclusive restaurant partner.
Beginning this summer, SCENE members will be able to earn and redeem points at 813 CARA restaurants, including Swiss Chalet Rotisserie & Grill, Harvey's, Milestones Grill & Bar, Montana's BBQ & Bar, Kelsey's, East Side Mario's, Fionn MacCool's, D'Arcy McGee's, Paddy Flaherty's, Tir nan Óg and Bier Markt.
"SCENE members are some of the most active participants in the entertainment space. In addition to being avid movie-goers, they over index in out-of-home dining. This new partnership with CARA will continue to deliver against our brand promise of giving our members more of what they love," said Shawn Bloom, Vice President, Operations and Partnerships, SCENE LP. "We expect this will deepen engagement with our more than 6.4 million members, while also encouraging member acquisition."
"CARA is excited to be partnering with SCENE as the first and only entertainment rewards program in Canada," said Dave Colebrook, Vice President, Marketing, CARA Operations Limited. "This partnership will allow our restaurants to provide even more value to our existing guests while also helping draw new guests. There is also no better strategic fit than "dinner and a movie."
SCENE members will earn one SCENE point for every $3 spent in-store and online at participating restaurants, in addition to ongoing bonus point offers. Members will be able to redeem 1,000 SCENE points to receive a $10 discount on their bill at participating CARA restaurant locations. The partnership will also enable guests to continue to earn and redeem SCENE points for CARA's gift card, The Ultimate Dining Card.
SCENE is a joint venture between Cineplex Entertainment and Scotiabank.
