Triangle Rewards, the loyalty program for Canadian Tire, Sport Chek and several other stores has introduced a new subscription based option called Triangle Select. Taking a page from PC Optimum who have their PC Optimum Insiders pay for play option (which by the way is closed to new subscriptions) the new Triangle Select provides boosted CT Money earning and additional select perks for a yearly fee of $89.

Wrapping it up
If you are a regular shopper at one or some of the stores that are part of Triangle Rewards this Triangle Select program can make a lot of sense to join. Seeing that you get a $50 gift card you are only out of pocket $39 to enjoy that extra CT Money and perks. One thing you can tell from the membership is they are really encouraging members to go shop in-store as you don’t get any extra CT Money for shopping online, just the savings on shipping. I get why they do this – customers tend to buy more in store, especially at Canadian Tire as they are tempted by all those bins full of ‘I don’t need this but it’s fun so I’ll get it’ items at the entrance and by the check out area!
