Ran across this today, thought I'd share.

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 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 used to work there. And I hated the ct money. People paying for large purchases with it drive me nuts. Would hold up the entire line.

We used to encourage customers to cash it in towards a gift card. That way once they have a bit the can add it. And no arguing over totals.

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.

Upgrades? of Canadian Tire Money program.

CBCNews said:
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.
P.O.V.
Would you ditch Canadian Tire money for a points card? Take our poll and watch some neat videos about the 'funny money.' See Story here (and you can vote on POV as well)

I'd just add it to my growing pile of store points cards....
