About Gas Advantage Mastercard
The Gas Advantage Mastercard issued by Canadian Tire Bank offers drivers a savings opportunity with the Gas Advantage® Mastercard® Rewards Program.
The cardholders are entitled to a discount on each litre of gasoline or diesel fuel purchased at Canadian Tire Gas Bars with their Gas Advantage Mastercard.
Gas Advantage Mastercard features
The Gas Advantage Mastercard helps customers save their money for making purchases at eligible gas stations. All customers need to do is pay for the fuel at Canadian Tire Gas Bars with their card. The more they use their card for everyday purchases, the more they save, as the discount depends on the amount of the net new purchases posted:
-
Spending of $2,000 or greater this month: next month's savings of 10¢/litre
-
Spending of $1,000-$1,999.99 this month: next month's savings of 8¢/litre
-
Spending of $550-$999 this month: next month's savings of 5¢/litre
-
Spending of $0-$499this month: next month's savings of 2¢/litre
Moreover, customers can earn their discount faster. Regular purchases at Canadian Tire stores, Canadian Tire catalogue, Canadian Tire online, and Mark’s Work Wearhouse/L’Équipeur stores are doubled for calculating the discount per litre towards the next gas savings level.
Moreover, this credit card has no annual fee and no interest financing. However, such perks are only available for customers who spend $150 or more in-store at Canadian Tire using their Gas Advantage Mastercard. In addition, the interest rates on this credit card are standard-high: 19,99% on purchases and 22,99% on cash advances.
Furthermore, customers will have access to additional perks provided by Canadian Tire Bank. These online accounts let customers manage and track their cards and expenses without visiting the office or eStatements that replace physical statements and are delivered via email. Also, they can find additional usable products such as Credit Protector and Identity Watch services.
However, this credit card doesn’t offer many unique benefits to cardholders. For example, customers will have no travel perks, insurance services, or cash back.
