New change for popular retailers in Canada

A new change has taken effect for multiple retailers in Canada.

The Royal Bank of Canada said that it has launched a partnership with the Canadian Tire Corporation.

RBC cardholders are now able to earn more when they shop at participating retail banners that are part of the Canadian Tire Corporation.

“By linking their eligible RBC credit and debit cards with their Triangle Rewards accounts, millions of RBC cardholders can earn 3x Canadian Tire Money when they use their linked RBC credit or debit card to make a qualifying purchase at Canadian Tire, SportChek, Mark’s and other participating CTC retail banners,” the bank said in a press release.

Those who link their accounts will also get exclusive offers from RBC and Avion Rewards. Beginning later this year, they will also have the ability to convert Avion points to Canadian Tire money.

“RBC and Canadian Tire Corporation have created a seamless experience that brings tangible everyday value to our millions of RBC cardholders when they shop at some of the country’s most popular and beloved brands,” said Vinita Savani, RBC’s executive vice president of cards and loyalty.

The release said RBC members can earn 3x the Canadian Tire money by:

• Linking their RBC card to their Triangle rewards account
• Scanning their Triangle Rewards card at the checkout when shopping at a Canadian Tire Corporation retail banner
• And then paying with their linked RBC card on qualifying purchases at participating locations

To link an RBC card and to see eligible card products, as well as more information about the terms and conditions, visit the Avion rewards website.

Triangle Rewards has nearly 12 million members.

“Triangle Rewards is enhancing its value to Canadians through more personalized offers and a coordinated strategy combining its banner stores, the unique retail-driving capability of its Triangle Mastercard program, and everyday partners like RBC, Petro-Canada, WestJet and Tim Hortons,” the release said.
