Big change for Dollarama shoppers across Canada

There’s a big change for Dollarama shoppers across Canada, allowing them to earn points on qualifying purchases.

The Bank of Montreal announced on Tuesday that its Blue Rewards program (formerly Air Miles) has a multi-year exclusive partnership with the retail chain.

“Through this new partnership with Dollarama, members can now earn points on essential purchases at one of Canada’s most accessible retailers, reinforcing a shared focus on helping households make the most of their everyday budgets,” a press release said.

Blue Rewards members with a linked payment card are able to earn points at more than 1,700 Dollarama stores in Canada on qualifying purchases of $20 or more.

BMO Blue Rewards Mastercard holders can earn 10x the points on Dollarama purchases, the bank said.

“We’re excited to partner with Dollarama to deliver more value to Canadians by expanding how members can earn from their everyday spending and make real financial progress,” said Chris Wragg, the vice president of strategic partnerships at Blue Rewards.

“This collaboration builds on Dollarama’s commitment to everyday value combined with the continued evolution of Blue Rewards. With affordability top of mind for many, Canadians are focused on managing their budgets and getting the most from every dollar.

“By meeting our members where they already shop for essentials, we’re making it easier to turn routine purchases into meaningful value and bring this benefit to more Canadians across the country.”
