Tims Rewards / FidéliTim: the new Tim Hortons’ loyalty program

We appreciate that Tim Hortons launched its loyalty program today under two names:

• anglophone: Tims Rewards
• French-speaking: FidéliTim

The operation is “as simple as can be”:

1. Scan your card (digital or plastic) before each purchase
2. Make 7 purchases
3. Claim your reward: get a free coffee, tea or pastry

Of course, you can get a digital card on your phone.

A welcome offer from March 20 to July 31, 2019 with FidéliTim

As part of the launch of this program, Tims Rewards is making a “registration offer”, the terms and conditions of which are set out below:

1. Sign up for the Tims Rewards program
2. Make a purchase over $1.50 CA$ (excluding taxes and rebates) between March 20 and July 31, 2019.
3. Present your digital/plastic card at the time of purchase
4. Get at your next visit, upon presentation of your digital / plastic card either:
   1. a hot brewed coffee or hot tea of any size
   2. an individual pastry

Detailed terms and conditions can be found on this page.

Several things to note:

• Purchases under $0.50 do not count as a visit.
• Each visit must be at least 30 minutes apart.
• Unused rewards expire after 120 days
• You can earn a maximum of 5 rewards in your account

The best card to use at Tim Hortons

The best credit card to use at Tim Hortons is the Cobaltᵐᶜ American Express Card, which offers 5 points for every $1 in purchases at restaurants, bars, coffee shops, grocery stores and convenience stores.

You’ll earn 5 points / dollar for all your purchases at Tim Hortons coffee shops!

It’s a minimum 5% discount on travel purchases charged to the card… or even more if you do:

• use the fixed price grid for certain airline tickets
• transfer your points to Marriott Bonvoy hotel points for free hotel nights

And should your Tim Hortons unfortunately not accept American Express, you can always purchase a Tim Hortons Gift Card at your local grocery or convenience store with your Cobaltᵐᶜ American Express Card.
