Didn't know there was a collector's club for CT money, but apparently they want the 1 billionth note...
Check it out, it's a 5¢ note from 1999 with the serial # CTS S20-B-0015448024 it's worth at least $500 to them...so go searching that car and kitchen drawer. LOL
I just noted how stingy they are with Canadian Tire money at Crappy Tire today. My father used to get 4 to 5% on purchases. I believe it's less than 1% now.
I haven't noticed, I don't hoard them like I used to, probably since they stopped accepting them at the gas bar. Most of the time I just dump them in the charity jar on the way out.
I spent mine. I had a collection going back to the 50's. They had a flip plane/joiner on sale. By the time I cashed in my CT money, points and some american I had from a trip about five years ago, it cost me avout $5.00.
Went i went and cashed mine in before christmas (about $60 worth), i went to customer service. They had bill counting machine, just spilt the denomiations and cranked it through the machine. Took about 3 minutes for me to get it on a gift card.
Canadian Tire is going from paper to plastic as the company tests out a new loyalty program in Nova Scotia.
In what the company is calling an "upgrade" to its existing loyalty program — the iconic 'Canadian Tire Money' — customers will be given the option to collect points electronically.
Shoppers will still be able to collect the paper money as usual, but may find the new program a better deal.
The new loyalty card will give customers the equivalent of one per cent back on their purchases, while the paper 'money' is only given back at a rate of 0.4 per cent.
The loyalty program will operate on a testing basis at 21 stores and eight gas stations in Nova Scotia, and may be rolled out across the country if Canadian Tire decides the program is a success.
The new program is part of an effort to boost sales at the Canadian retailer, which is seeing increased competition from U.S. retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target. Target is planning to enter the Canadian market in March of 2013.
I'd just add it to my growing pile of store points cards....
