This guide breaks down how to join, earn, stack with coupons, and squeeze the most out of every CT Money point in 2025.

Triangle Rewards Program Overview

Joining Triangle Rewards

Sign-up is free. Download the Triangle app, register at a cash terminal in any Canadian Tire store, or get auto-enrolled when approved for a Triangle Mastercard. New members receive a digital card instantly and can request a physical key-tag for backup.

Where You Earn

Earn CT Money at Canadian Tire, SportChek, Mark’s, Party City, Atmosphere, Hockey Life, Gas+ bars and online at canadiantire.ca. Some partner banners add seasonal multipliers in-app.

Basic Earn Rates

  • 0.4 % back (4 ¢ per $10) with free Triangle account.
  • 1.5 % back on most purchases with Triangle Mastercard.
  • Gas+ earn: 3 ¢ per litre (base) + credit-card boost.

Redeeming CT Money

Redeem in 10-cent increments, in-store or online, for almost anything sold by participating banners. No blackout dates and you can pay the entire purchase or just a portion to keep offers active.

Digital vs Physical Card

Digital: push offers, receipt storage, Apple/Google wallet, no plastic. Physical: handy for rural stores with spotty Wi-Fi or if your phone battery dies. Keep both linked to the same account for flexibility.

Triangle Rewards: Step-by-Step Mastery

Download the Triangle app, tap “Join”, enter basic info and verify email. A digital barcode appears instantly; ask customer service for a free key-tag if you prefer plastic.

  • Scan barcode on every purchase (even price-matched).
  • Load personalised offers in the app each Thursday.
  • Use Triangle Mastercard for +3 × base earn.
  • Buy gas at Gas+ to add 3 ¢/L to your pile.

Tell the cashier you’d like to pay with CT Money, choose how much to redeem (minimum $0.10). For online orders, toggle “Apply CT Money” during checkout. Partial redemptions keep future bonus offers alive.

Inside the app, enable push notifications and tap “Load” on multipliers such as “Spend $40 get $8 CT Money”. Offers stack with flyer deals and manufacturer coupons automatically.

Open the app → Account > Submit Receipt. Upload a clear photo within 30 days and add a short note: “Triangle # not scanned, invoice #1234”. Points post in 7-10 days.

Triangle Rewards Calculator

1 = no bonus, 3 = typical Bonus Day, 5 = rare 5× Thursday
Example: A family spending $2 000 at Canadian Tire, $1 000 at SportChek and 1 000 L of gas at Gas+ with a Triangle Mastercard during 3× Bonus Days can earn enough CT Money to paint two rooms for free each year.

Advanced Triangle Rewards Strategies

Stack with Coupons

Use a manufacturer coupon first, then redeem CT Money on the balance — you still earn points on the pre-coupon amount. Perfect for paint, batteries and seasonal décor.

Bonus Days & Triangle Thursdays

Watch the flyer for “Spend $50 get $15 CT Money” or 5× multipliers. These stack with personalised offers in the app and run most Thursdays and long-weekend promos.

Price Match + Points

Canadian Tire still allows price matching. Ensure the cashier inputs your Triangle number manually on the invoice so the matched purchase still earns CT Money.

Family Pooling

Invite family via the app (Account > Family Sharing). Up to 8 members pool CT Money — great for fast redemptions on big-ticket items like snowblowers.

“Yes, Canadian Tire still honours coupons on clearance items. Combine a clearance sticker, a manufacturer coupon and a 5× Bonus Day for triple-dip savings.”

Triangle vs PC Optimum vs Scene+

Loyalty Program Annual Fee Base Earn Rate App-Exclusive Offers Redemption Flexibility Household Pooling Expiry Policy
Triangle Rewards $0 0.4 % – 1.5 % Yes (personalised multipliers) $0.10 increments, no cap Yes (up to 8 people) Never, with any activity
PC Optimum $0 1 % avg Yes (weekly offers) 10,000 pts = $10, redeem any time Yes (up to 10 cards) Never, with activity every 2 yrs
Scene+ $0 1 pt per $1 Yes (Scene+ app) 1,000 pts = $10 travel/grocery No official household pooling Never expires

Triangle shines for home-improvement purchases and household pooling, while PC Optimum edges ahead on personalised grocery offers. Scene+ remains a strong travel redemption play.

Triangle Rewards FAQ

Yes. Scan your Triangle card before the cashier applies the manufacturer coupon. Points are calculated on the pre-coupon subtotal, so you earn CT Money and enjoy the coupon discount. After the discount you can optionally redeem CT Money on the same transaction for a triple-stack. This technique is perfect for flyer items like paint or pet supplies where coupons are common.

No. CT Money does not expire as long as your account remains in good standing. Canadian Tire may close dormant accounts after 18 months of complete inactivity, but a single scan or redemption resets the clock. Family pooling makes it easier to keep activity rolling.

Labour services such as installations, sharpening and assembly are excluded from CT Money accrual. You still earn on the parts or tires themselves. If you believe points are missing, submit the work order and invoice via the app’s “Submit Receipt” feature within 30 days.

Bonus Days multiply the base earn rate. A 5× multiplier turns 0.4 % into 2 %. Triangle Mastercard holders receive the multiplier on both base and card bonus. Multipliers apply automatically when you scan the app barcode after loading the offer.

Yes. Through Family Sharing, each member gets their own digital barcode linked to the same CT Money balance. Everyone earns, and redemptions come from the shared pool. Great for speeding up big-ticket redemptions like snow-throwers or BBQs.

Exclusions include gift cards, lottery, hunting/fishing licences, postage, labour, rentals and fees. Gas purchases made through third-party apps (e.g., fuel pay pumps without barcode) may not qualify. Check the app fine print or ask customer service before paying.
