CANADIANS CAN NOW SPEND ONCE AND EARN TWICE WITH INNOVATIVE CANADIAN TIRE CORPORATION AND WESTJET LOYALTY PARTNERSHIP

Two trusted Canadian loyalty programs, Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd.'s Triangle Rewards and WestJet Rewards, have teamed up to introduce new ways for millions of Canadians to earn more rewards across travel and everyday shopping.

In just a few clicks, members can now link their WestJet Rewards and Triangle Rewards accounts to spend once and earn twice. From booking flights to changing tires, linked members can earn both WestJet points and Canadian Tire Money on eligible items across participating Canadian Tire and WestJet businesses. Linked members who pay with their Triangle credit card or any WestJet RBC Mastercard credit card will earn even more rewards when shopping with participating CTC and WestJet businesses.

"Canadians are always looking for ways to get more value from the purchases they make every day," said Darryl Jenkins, executive vice-president and chief development officer, Canadian Tire. "By linking Triangle Rewards and WestJet Rewards, our members can now spend once and earn twice, collecting both Canadian Tire Money and WestJet points whether they're shopping for everyday essentials or planning their next trip."

"Together, WestJet Rewards and Triangle Rewards are making it easier for Canadians to earn more and enjoy greater choice," said John Weatherill, executive vice-president and chief commercial officer, WestJet Group. "By enabling members with linked accounts to stack their earn at the stores they know and love, we are getting Canadians closer to their next dream vacation faster."

Turn everyday spending into a vacation

From tires and workwear to party supplies and sporting equipment, members with linked accounts will unlock more rewards on everyday purchases. Linked members earn WestJet points on top of Canadian Tire Money on qualifying purchases at participating stores including Canadian Tire, SportChek and Mark's.

Everyday rewards arrive faster with WestJet

When booking flights on the WestJet website or through the WestJet app, members with linked accounts earn Canadian Tire Money on top of WestJet points on flights, vacation packages, and travel extras such as baggage fees and seat selection.

Linked members can also convert their WestJet points into Canadian Tire Money to put towards retail purchases.

Frank takes flight with WestJet

In celebration of the partnership between Triangle Rewards and WestJet Rewards, a selection of Frank snacks, a fan favourite at Canadian Tire, will be served complementary onboard WestJet flights.
