Neither "move the needle" for my shopping decisions and preferences, and if I didn't already have a Scene card I probably wouldn't bother at all, but I found it super amusing that I earned so much more in the first shopping trip as compared to Air Miles.

Gotcha, when you said the whole year I assumed it was points as that seemed like too big a difference. Still, that isn't apples to apples, because you're comparing a Scene promotion to the Air Miles base offer. There were regularly Air Miles offers of similar value to this one, and now the base offer is 0, so I think it's really unlikely you're ending up better off here.
I agree the value proposition part isn't that big a deal (although I used to somewhat regularly get $150-200 worth of Air Miles on $200 spend on their Blue Friday offers pre-pandemic). But the gong show of actually being able to use the card conveniently is definitely annoying.
