In a major announcement for the Canadian rewards sector, RBC and Canadian Tire Corporation have formalized the launch of their strategic loyalty partnership, aiming to expand the reach of Triangle Rewards while strengthening Avion Rewards and its partner network.
This partnership allows members to link an eligible RBC credit or debit card to their Triangle Rewards account to earn 3x Canadian Tire Money on purchases at participating retailers, while also enjoying exclusive offers from RBC and Avion Rewards. Later this year, members will also be able to convert their Avion points into Canadian Tire Money.
According to Vinita Savani, Executive Vice President, Cards & Loyalty, RBC, “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. Together, we’ve developed a rewarding offering that underscores our shared commitment to innovation, putting clients at the centre of everything we do. We look forward to continuing to work with CTC to provide more meaningful benefits to our shared customers.”
This partnership between RBC and Canadian Tire Corporation aims to enhance the experience of Avion Rewards and Triangle Rewards members. Eligible RBC credit and debit cardholders can now link their account to the Triangle Rewards program and earn 3x Canadian Tire Money on their purchases at participating Canadian Tire Corporation banners, including Canadian Tire, SportChek and Mark’s.
Linked members will also benefit from exclusive RBC and Avion Rewards offers, and, later this year, they will be able to convert their Avion points into Canadian Tire Money.
The process to link your RBC credit or debit card to your Triangle Rewards account is simple and quick. Once linked, you will immediately start earning 3x CT Money on your purchases at participating merchants.
Steps to link your account:
When shopping at a participating Canadian Tire banner, scan your Triangle Rewards card at checkout and pay with any linked RBC card to earn 3x Canadian Tire Money on your eligible purchases at participating locations.
Tip: if you already have a Triangle Mastercard, compare the rates to see if linking with your RBC card is more advantageous for certain purchase categories.
Eligible RBC cardholders (credit or debit) will enjoy several benefits:
Like us, you may be wondering, after reading this news, what this means for Canadian Tire credit cards. Thanks to this partnership, Triangle Rewards members can now link any eligible RBC card (credit or debit) to their account, providing greater flexibility to earn and use Canadian Tire Money.
For points collectors and Triangle Rewards members, this can be beneficial and offers the possibility to link any eligible RBC card (credit or debit), thus providing more options for redeeming and using points. We are used to seeing a large number of earn and redeem partners in each program, but on the other hand, this can seem more complicated and sometimes confusing for the average person.
It can be easy to get lost, or even to forget that these opportunities and partnerships exist. In the complex world of rewards, some programs (such as Scene+ or American Express Membership Rewards points, among others) are appreciated for their ease of use.
For now, it’s worth remembering that it’s possible to directly earn points in the following programs with any eligible RBC card (credit or debit):
With the new partnership with Canadian Tire Corporation, you can now earn 3x Canadian Tire Money at participating retailers, including Canadian Tire, SportChek, and Mark’s, simply by linking your RBC card to your Triangle Rewards account.
And indirectly with these partners, by linking accounts: Petro-Points from Petro-Canada and Rexall. Not to mention the Avion Rewards airline transfer partners: Avios from British Airways Club, Asia Miles from Cathay Pacific, AAdvantage from American Airlines, and WestJet Rewards.
This expands the possibilities for redemption, but can also make the choice more difficult. Consult our points value estimate to get an idea of the optimal use of points for each program.
This strategic alliance between RBC and Canadian Tire marks a turning point in the Canadian rewards industry. It offers consumers new opportunities to maximize their rewards, notably by linking any eligible RBC card (credit or debit) to Triangle Rewards to earn 3x Canadian Tire Money on eligible purchases, while benefiting from exclusive RBC and Avion Rewards offers.
This partnership strengthens the position of both loyalty programs in the Canadian market and will be rolled out gradually, with new benefits expected later in 2026.
In today’s environment, this initiative that strengthens rewards with Canadian businesses is especially welcome.
