So who's rushing out and getting one of these puppies as tomorrow Tim Hortons and CIBC launch their double double no fee visa card.
The CIBC and Tim Hortons card allows users to earn points on purchases they charge to their no annual fee Visa card, collecting a cent on every dollar in Tims Cash rewards.
Cardholders can press one of two options on the face of the card — a button that accesses their Visa account or another that lets users redeem loyalty points for products at the company's restaurants.

It doesn't look like it's worth getting. Suppose you spend a certain amount at Tim Horton's every weekday. You'll only be able to redeem a meal costing that same amount every 5 months. Now maybe if they gave 2 or 3 cents per dollar spent, then it would be worth getting for all those out there who tend to buy from Tim Horton's a lot. But then again, who actually eats at Tim Horton's every day? They don't really serve much real food. It's mostly coffee and donuts. Their soups and sandwiches can't compete that well with those of other restaurants like Subway.

And yet somehow they do, as their is a Timmies on every street corner! haha

I think you'd be surprised at how many people eat breakfast and/or lunch at Tim's every day - I'm constantly amazed at how many regular eaters there are! Feel like telling them - Have breakfast at home, make your own lunch - it's not that difficult, better for you and far cheaper. Not the Canadian way though!

Doesn't make their product good, they have good marketing team. I rarely eat there, maybe 5 times in 10 years, and nothing they have served is good, I'll pick McDonalds over Tim's any day if that is all that is available, but neither are high on my list of places to go.

Its crazy to hear Canadians say how good their food is, I just can't see it.

Wow! This is good news indeed. I have only - this weekend - fought off a vigilant young woman who pursued me through Canadian Tire, and then another one in Walmart...this was all good evidently...I have saved myself for The Big One...When I go on the road to bankruptcy it can be hand in hand with St. Tim

In some parts of Canada a Timmies visa card could be quite the thing to impress the young ladies. Like the James Bond style ads when Amex first came out.

Any truth in the rumour that showing a timmies card will get you through CBSA if you forgot your passport?

''He" knows....but he couldn't possibly say

These stores are getting aggressive with their credit cards these days. My GF worked at Wally World and they have a quota for the cashiers and they get written up if they don't get enough signed up for it.

They are JS...the worst thing being, that I spoke to a young woman who was meant to flog these things and as a nubile young pretty, she had been told to target young men and the mentally feeble The thing is....whatever we do we are a small community...jobs are scarce and the opportunities finite, there is only a certain amount to go round...if you can't improve our chances here we can't improve the overall corporate figures...you can't flog a dead horse...not even Timmy!

I didn't say it did.. was just pointing out that they are obviously able to compete with other restaurants as they are everywhere.

I like some of their doughnuts.. if they haven't been sat there for the whole day! But that's probably due to a lack of an alternative, no Krispy Kreme near by
