Pricing Policy

Canadian Tire attempts to match online prices to those in store. However, online prices, product and service selection and availability, and sale effective dates may differ from those in store and may vary by geographic region.

Regional differences

Due to differences in sale effective dates across the country, items may be available online at the sale price before they are available in store. Dealers are under no obligation to make promotional products available, or to match online prices until the sale begins in their region.

Flyer differences

The prices found in the online version of the Canadian Tire flyer may be different to the ones appearing on the website. Market conditions and competitive pressures may cause prices and availability to change without further notice. Canadian Tire Associate Dealers may sell for less.

Pricing, typographical or illustrative errors

Rounding Guidelines

As of February 4, 2013, Canadian Tire will be adopting the Fair rounding approach for CASH transactions. When proper change is not available, the amount owing after tax will be rounded to the nearest $.05.

  • Rounded down: If the last digit of the amount is 1, 2, 6 or 7.
  • Rounded up: If the last digit of the amount is 3, 4, 8 or 9.
  • Rounding does not apply to Debit, Credit or Gift Card payments, unless it is a split payment, in which case, split payment rules will apply.
  • On split payment transactions, if cash is the last method of payment used, the amount owing will be subjected to rounding. If cash is not the last payment type tendered, no rounding will take effect.
  • You will still be able to pay the unrounded total in cash if you have the correct change. For example, if the amount owing after tax is $10.03, and you have 3 pennies, you can pay the unrounded total.
  • These rules apply to U.S. currency as well.
  • Canadian Tire ‘Money’ will be issued on the pre-rounded amount.
  • Rounding will also be applied to refunds paid out in cash.
  • Purchases made with Gift Cards will be settled to the exact amount.
  • Auto Work orders are also subject to rounding, which is done at the register. Therefore, the total on the work order may not match the total being paid at the register.

Elimination of the Penny

In Canada's Economic Action Plan 2012, the Government announced that the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer be distributing pennies as of February 4, 2013.

What this means:

  • With pennies not available, transactions involving cash will be rounded
  • Rounding will be done in a fair and transparent manner on the after-tax total of the transaction
  • Transactions involving Debit, Credit and Gift Cars will continue to be settled to the penny, as these electronic transactions are not affected by the penny elimination
