TORONTO, March 11, 2019 /CNW/ - Scotiabank customers now have another reason to cheer on game-day. Scotiabank is launching a new Scotia Perks program designed to provide customers with exclusive access and discounts on Toronto Maple Leafs' and Toronto Raptors' game-days—whether they're at Scotiabank Arena or out watching the game with friends and family.

All Scotiabank cardholders in Canada now score big with exclusive access to the new Scotia Perks program, which includes:

• 10 per cent off eligible purchases at Food Junction concession stands at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto;
• 10 per cent off all merchandise in-store at Real Sports Apparel;
• game-day reservations up to three-weeks in advance at Real Sports Bar and Grill at 15 York Street, Toronto, across from Scotiabank Arena; and,
• continued access to the Scotiabank Customer Entrance at Scotiabank Arena, located at Gate 5 on Bremner Boulevard.

"Scotia Perks represents the next step in our mission to offer a better, more immersive experience for our customers in and around Scotiabank Arena," says Clinton Braganza, Chief Marketing Officer at Scotiabank. "We're just getting started—fans can look forward to even more game-day benefits as we continue growing this exciting partnership. The program is part of our continued commitment to the community in Toronto, and embodies our love of sports."

To receive the 10 per cent off discount, customers simply need to pay with their Scotiabank access or credit card at Food Junction concession locations and Real Sports Apparel, and the discount will be applied automatically.

Scotiabank customers can make their Real Sports Bar and Grill reservation by emailing scotiabankreservations@mlse.com. A limited number of spots are available, on a first come, first served basis.

The new Scotia Perks program builds on Scotiabank's strategic partnership with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE), offering more for the fans, the community, and Scotiabank customers—both inside and outside the arena. The partnership includes naming rights to the home of the Leafs and Raptors, which began July 1, 2018, new philanthropic opportunities with the MLSE Foundation, and a digital collaboration between MLSE and the Scotiabank Digital Factory.
