It looks like Canadian Tire is going to do away with its Canadian Tire cash and go with a loyalty program instead where you will use a loyalty card to collect rewards.

As someone who shops at Walmart at least two times a week for groceries and all my basic necessities, I’m quite familiar with cash-back cards and which ones will benefit me more in the long run. I’ve noticed that recently Walmart Financial pushed out the Walmart Rewards MasterCard in which cashiers are supposed to sell their pitch to you when you’re getting ready to pay for all your goods.
