Use this for non-Empire grocery runs when your premium cards hit category caps, but any travel or dining purchase belongs on a stronger earner in your wallet.
Scene+ shines by letting you erase any travel charge – flights, hotels, Airbnbs, train tickets, even award taxes – without forcing you into a clunky travel portal like other Canadian bank programs.
