Scene card

The scene card, is a points card for the cineplex movie theaters :) Every time you are going to buy movie tickets, you should present your scene card and that will reward you with 100 points per movie.

Every 1000 points you get to see a free movie! So every 10 movies a free movie, no bad at all!! Another benefit is 10% off in food inside the theater, so you get 10% off popcorns, pop, pizza, hamburguers, etc., depending of the movie theater.

The card is free, and you can get it at:
the scene web page or the quiosks at the movie theater. Enjoy!!!

Average salary

How much can you expect to make?

That's a question that everyone keeps asking, and of course there is no set answer but at least we can have an idea, right? A lot of people have different careers or job opportunities and live in different cities, so maybe this can help.

You can go to Monster salary and choose a job title that it's suited to what you want to know, and the city you are looking for. After selecting those 2 options, you'll be presented with subcategories to what you chose before, select one and click "create salary report".

And there you have it, averages in the area you wanted to see :) Which can go from managers to sales clerk, and a lot of different career paths.
