I called and was credited the $150 of eCTM.

My application wasn't connected with the offer. Agent explained that mine wasn't the only application that happened to. One had to apply through a link on that offer web page. There was an issue with the page. Some of the "Apply Now" links there were not done properly to connect the application with the offer!

It looks like Canadian Tire Bank is going to run the promotion again in a few weeks. The offer page now has the period April 23 - May 21, 2026.

Problem, as I initially feared - its now SIX weeks (minus a day) since meeting the requirements, and still no $ 150- CT bonus money seen. I guess I have to waste my time now.  

Most i have heard or seen received it within 2 weeks. Did you charge at least 1 transaction to the card within 30 days of receiving the card ? That is the one and only criteria to trigger the bonus.  

Yes, I charged a purchase of multiple products at a CTC store on the day I received and activated the card, which was well within 30 days since applying and being approved for the card too.

I'll wait a bit more time, thinking this could just be volume delays because of the promo. If it doesn't happen in a few days, I'll have to phone them. I'll keep updating what happens here.

Thanks Norman1, the process was easy.

I wonder though, what is and isn't a qualifying purchase, because it takes 5 weeks to know if they have given the bonus CT money, and of course that is longer than the 30 days to make such a purchase.

All I see here is " Purchase must be of item(s) eligible to earn CT Money ". The Triangle site FAQ has nothing that I could find.

A Google search provides almost as much vagueness and potentially makes it worse.
" Bonus Offers: Minimum spend requirements (e.g., $200) for bonus CT Money must be met on qualifying, pre-tax items in a single transaction. ". I see nowhere what, if any, minimum spend requirements exist for this MC signup offer, so perhaps the above is for something else?

At least if getting this card ends up to be useless and not used, I don't have to pay a fee for it!  

Card received today and used, bonus points received, no problems at all.

I'm confused. I have a Canadian Tire Triangle Matercard. When I check the point balance I see a note in small font that it expres in 4, 5, 6, etc. days.  

Are you looking at the offers in the app? They show the offer expiring in x days.

That's for the offer though, not the earned CT Money.

eCTM doesn't expire as long as the Triangle Reward Account holding it is active every 18 months:

Triangle Rewards® Program

…

Expiration of Electronic Canadian Tire Money

We may expire the eCTM in your Triangle Rewards Account in the event that there has been a period of inactivity of 18 months or more. For the purposes of this section, “inactivity” means that there has been neither a transaction in which you have collected eCTM, nor a transaction in which you have redeemed eCTM during the period in question.

…

Those who have a Triangle credit card and use the card's bill paying service will have no trouble earning some eCTM every 18 months to keep the reward account active.

Using CT M/C, the vendor does not know payment is coming from a credit card. CT has set up a system whereby payment appears to the vendor as a direct bank payment.

The main thing is, there isn't a minimum dollar limit product purchase to get this $ 150- of CT money bonus. And yes, the receipt will show points made from a purchase, and that receipt is proof for 5 weeks later if CT bonus money isn't paid out.

Also, their exclusions are 'normal'/make sense to me.
