Canadian Tire money goes digital
New rewards program lands in October
Inflation is on target in Canada, so why is food (and other stuff) still so expensive?
Why Canadians are still feeling the squeeze of high food costs, and what to do about it.
TORONTO – Retailer Canadian Tire is rolling out a new loyalty program next month, as a way for customers to earn rewards in addition to the much-loved Canadian Tire money.
It says the digital rewards program, accessible through a card or an app, will allow customers to collect and redeem Canadian Tire money without carrying bills.
The program will launch in Nova Scotia on October 10, and in the rest of Canada on October 28.
But the retailer adds that paper Canadian Tire money will continue to remain in circulation.
Canadian Tire money was introduced in 1958 and was conceived by Muriel Billes, wife of Canadian Tire’s co-founder A.J. Billes.
The bills are available in denominations of 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, 50¢, $1 and $2 and allow consumers to use them toward eligible purchases.
“As Canada’s oldest loyalty program , we know Canadian Tire ‘Money’ holds an extraordinary place in the hearts of Canadians,” said Allan MacDonald, chief operating officer.
“We’re building on it by introducing another way to reward loyal customers who prefer the ease and convenience of digital currency and rewards, further improving the Canadian Tire shopping experience and ultimately helping our customers tackle the jobs and joys of everyday life in Canada.”
