Back in June we let you know that the boutique hotel loyalty program, Stash Rewards came back to Canada with the addition of four hotels in B.C. and a fiftth to come soon. That 5th hotel, the Opus Hotel Vancouver is now officially part of Stash Rewards. Find out more here.

Earlier this month, Canadian Tire's coalition loyalty program, Triangle added another partner. Husky is now part of the program but it does look like it only participates if you use a Triangle Credit card:

Husky is a Partner location of the Triangle Rewards™ program. Members are able to collect 5¢ per litre in CT Money® on qualifying fuel purchases with a Triangle Mastercard. In addition, Triangle World and Triangle World Elite cardholders collect 7¢ per litre in CT Money on qualifying premium and diesel fuel purchases.

MyHusky Rewards continues as Husky's program and can be earned on top of the CT Money earned. Find out more here

Canadian Tire to revamp loyalty program - now called Triangle and will include updated Mastercards

Canadian Tire has announced that they are revamping their 60 year old loyalty program which has simply been known as Canadian Tire Money. The program along with its Options Mastercards will now be known as Triangle, named after the iconic Canadian Tire triangle logo. It is being touted as the loyalty program's biggest revamp in 6 decades - a name change and updates to the Mastercards they offer from Canadian Tire Financial as well as a push to educate Canadians that you can earn Canadian Tire Money (still the loyalty currency of the new Triangle program) as places like Sport Chek and select Marks and Atmosphere locations. The latter of which  we discussed back in January.

From the details we received from Canadian Tire, it looks like the biggest changes are coming in the Mastercards being issued by CTFS as they move to a cash back style model that rewards you with Canadian Tire Money rather than the multiplier of Canadian Tire Money currently seen. For example the current Options Mastercards earn 10x Canadian Tire Money for Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Marks and Atmosphere purchases and 2x Canadian Tire Money for all other purchases. The new cards will offer 4% back in the Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Marks category and 0.8% to 1% back for all other purchases except the Triangle World Elite Mastercard will also earn 3% back for grocery purchases (up to $12,000 in those purchases annually)

What we don't know yet is what the earn rate of Canadian Tire Money will be at these stores when you don't use their credit cards.

Update: Canadian Tire has reached out to us to let us know the Triangle Rewards earn rate without the credit card will be 0.4%.

The program has never published a set earn rate previously and the terms and conditions say the earn rate will vary from time to time. Also will be interesting to see if you can double dip in the new program as the old program did not allow that, it just multiplied the earn rate if you did use an options credit card. The base earn rate of these new cards are quite weak and really only make sense for those people who shop a lot Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Marks and Atmosphere stores.

Update from Canadian Tire: 
To confirm the process in-store – if the customer is not a Triangle Rewards member, or does not present proof of membership at the time of purchase, the customer will be offered physical Canadian Tire Money back if they make their purchase using debit or cash, otherwise, they’ll earn Canadian Tire Money back on their Triangle Rewards card.

So it almost seems like there will not be a double dip - you'll earn 4% when you use the Triangle Mastercard at their stores, not 4.4% that would happen with a double dip if they allowed it.

Once the new program is live and the credit cards are released we'll have more details and will also add the cards to our cash back credit card comparison charts.
