Triangle Select is Canadian Tire’s paid loyalty tier at $89 plus tax per year, layered on top of the free Triangle Rewards program (which earns 0.4% back in CT Money). As a Select member, you earn a 10x bonus (an extra 4%) on all in-store purchases at Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, Mark’s, L’Équipeur, Party City, Atmosphere, and other participating stores. This stacks with your existing multipliers and Triangle Mastercard bonus.

But the real value goes beyond the 10x base bonus. Select members also get a 20x In-Store Brand Boost (an extra 8%) on eligible house brands like CANVAS, FRANK, Mastercraft, MAXIMUM, MotoMaster, Paderno, Denver Hayes, Helly Hansen, Woods, and more. If you regularly buy these brands, the effective earn rate jumps dramatically. On a $300 Mastercraft tool set with a 30x app offer, Triangle card, Select 10x, and Brand Boost 20x, you could earn over $70 in CT Money.

Triangle Select also gives you a 20x Annual In-Store Top Up — at the end of your membership year, you earn 20x bonus CT Money on your single largest eligible in-store purchase. If your biggest purchase was a $1,000 set of tires, that’s an extra $80 in CT Money just from the top-up alone. This is retroactive and applied automatically.

New members receive a $50 welcome gift — your choice of a $50 Canadian Tire gift card, $50 Sport Chek e-Promo Card (footwear), or $50 Mark’s e-Promo Card (denim). This alone covers more than half the membership fee in year one. You also get a 6-month Crave subscription as a bonus perk.

Online shopping perks include waived shipping on purchases over $50 from Sport Chek, Mark’s, and L’Équipeur (up to $20 per order), plus shipping fees reimbursed in CT Money on your first 5 Canadian Tire ship-to-home orders (up to $12 per order). If you shop online even a few times a year, the shipping savings add meaningful value.

For people who rarely visit Canadian Tire family stores (under $1,000/year in total spending), the free Triangle Rewards tier is perfectly fine. You still earn 0.4% back, and a Triangle Mastercard adds 4% on top. The Select tier is designed for families and homeowners who shop these stores regularly and want to maximize every dollar.

Worth It If You...

  • Homeowners who shop Canadian Tire regularly for seasonal, automotive, and home maintenance items
  • Families who spend $1,500+/year across Canadian Tire, Sport Chek, and Mark’s
  • DIY enthusiasts who buy Mastercraft, MAXIMUM, or CANVAS brand products (20x brand boost)
  • People planning a big purchase this year (20x annual top-up on your largest buy)
  • Online shoppers at Sport Chek and Mark’s (waived shipping saves $20/order)

Skip It If You...

  • People who spend less than $1,000/year at Canadian Tire family stores
  • Urban renters without cars or homes to maintain
  • Those who visit Canadian Tire only once or twice a year for small purchases
  • Shoppers who don’t buy house brands (brand boost won’t apply)

Pros

  • +10x base bonus (4% extra) on all in-store purchases at CT family stores
  • +20x Brand Boost (8% extra) on eligible house brands like Mastercraft, CANVAS, Paderno
  • +20x Annual Top Up on your single largest in-store purchase of the year
  • +$50 welcome gift for new members (CT gift card, Sport Chek, or Mark’s)
  • +Free/reimbursed shipping on online orders at CT, Sport Chek, Mark’s
  • +6-month Crave subscription included
  • +All bonuses stack with app multipliers and Triangle Mastercard

Cons

  • $89 + tax/year fee before you earn anything
  • Brand boost only applies to specific house brands (not all products)
  • In-store only for most bonuses (online purchases don’t qualify for 10x or brand boost)
  • CT Money can only be redeemed at Canadian Tire, Mark’s, Sport Chek, and partner stores

The Bottom Line

The stacking of 10x base + 20x brand boost + 20x annual top-up + Triangle card + app multipliers makes Select extremely valuable for regular CT family shoppers. The $50 welcome gift alone covers more than half the first-year fee.
