I'm actually glad they haven't gone and eliminated the paper money altogether because it is almost a part of the Canadian tradition.
As far as gas rewards programs are concerned, the Esso Extra rewards program is the best one going in my opinion. We have a Dodge Ram, and the points I accumulate by filling it up with premium every two weeks I use to get my husbands Coca Cola for free.
There are many other rewards as well that the Esso program offers. You're right Charlon, Esso is pretty near the top when it comes to gas station rewards programs. I actually did an in-depth article comparing the percentage returns of all the gas rewards programs on another blog Million Dollar Journey.
Esso was ranked 3. If you're interested, you can read that article here.
I still remember thelook on the cashier's face when we paid entirely with CT money. Sometimes I have my own fantasies of what I would do if I lost my job or income and was running out of money. I envision raiding all my rewards balances to try and help us stay afloat. It's nice to know there's a little bit of extra "money" lying around in those accounts if I ever needed it.
Good story, thanks for sharing. I usually donate my CT money. There is a container by the cashier where you can deposit your CT money. It is for a good cause!!!! I read on reddit that some dishonest store managers will actually raid those containers and use the money to buy things for themselves and only donate what they want to.
I sure hope that is the exception and not the norm. I don't know how people like that can live with themselves. In addition, if you plan on cancelling your Cdn Tire credit card I learned the hard way and no one from customer service stated to me what would happen I was pleasantly surprised when I tried to use my MCTM card this weekend and when scanned, it came up as invalid.
I called customer service today and all I got was Definitely avoid the options MasterCard. It isn't a very good card. Check out my credit cards section for better options pun intended.
A long time ago since the original article so it's understandable if I don't get a reply. I have fond memories of the real Canadian Tire paper money and have been collecting it for many years.
Like many others I would stack them up and eventually buy a big ticket item with it. My family would often make fun of me driving out of my way to a Canadian Tire gas station armed with my 10X gas coupon multiplier. I am smart enough to realize I would be infinitely better off settling for e"money" but I still like my paper money. I know others that feel the same way so I know that I'm not the only dinosaur. Do you know if they are still giving gas multiplier coupons for real CT money? In September I was at the Barrie Canadian Tire store and gas bar and I was told that they were no longer offering them.
So I was given a choice to either "get with the program" as it were, or settle for getting the real paper money but at the base rate. Needless to say I was very disappointed! I stopped getting my gas at Canadian Tire a few years ago Frank so I can't really help you hear. I may start again sometime soon.

Some merchants were accepting Canadian Tire money as a discount, but then were not calculating and remitting the sales taxes, as required by law, and then were getting fined for the practice; this is an ongoing issue.
In , Canadian Tire began a pilot program to make its money "plastic", to make it into a more manageable and trackable loyalty program. The reward rate for purchases at other stores is 0. The revision of included the introduction of four lower values 1 to 4 cents , and 12 higher denominations, including 35 and 60 cents. CTM coupons are now produced in denominations of 5-, , 25 and 50 cents and one and two-dollars. The latter can be used wherever MasterCard is accepted and earns Canadian Tire money no matter where it is used to make a purchase, anywhere in the world.
CTM is treated as real currency by the franchise and cannot be directly exchanged for real Canadian currency for customers. If an item bought with Canadian Tire money is returned the customer receives either Canadian Tire money back or is given the amount on a gift card. If an item is bought with cash or card and is returned for a refund the customer receives the refund less the value of the CTM issued on the item unless the CTM is also returned. Another similar deal followed in coinciding with the Olympic Winter Games , with a three coin winter collection.
The coins can be spent in the same manner as conventional CTM. A cent note was released by the company between June 30 and July 2, to celebrate the th birthday of the Confederation of Canada in as part of national festivities. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Canadian retail loyalty program.
