Shell Canada will soon replace Air Miles with Scene+

Shell Canada is joining Cineplex’s Scene+ loyalty program.

Starting March 3, 2026, in Alberta and May 26, 2026, nationwide, Canadians will be able to collect one Scene+ point per litre of all fuel grades and $1 spent on car wash and eligible convenience purchases. You’ll also be able to redeem Scene+ points in increments of 1,000 for $10 off your purchases. Additionally, Scotiabank and Tangerine customers with eligible payment cards will also be able to get extra benefits.

However, it should be noted that the press release buries another relevant piece of news: Shell is replacing its existing Air Miles partnership with Scene+. This means that you have until March 2, 2026, in Alberta and May 25, 2026, nationwide to continue to earn and redeem Miles at Shell. Your Air Miles status and points balance will otherwise not be affected. Other Air Miles partners, which remain unchanged, include Staples, Sephora, eBay, Old Navy, Samsung and HP. (Update Jan. 30, 2026, at 9:26 a.m. ET: Notably, Staples actually ended its Air Miles partnership in July 2022, but currently allows Air Miles members to earn miles by shopping through the program’s online store until the end of 2026.)

To accompany all of these changes, Shell has updated its dedicated loyalty and payment partners FAQs page.

The Scene+ program is free and lets you earn and redeem points at brands like Cineplex, FreshCo, Harveys, Swiss Chalet, and Home Hardware. You can also spend points on travel through Expedia, as well as on gift cards for the aforementioned brands and retailers like Apple, Best Buy, H&M, Indigo, Disney and Roots.
