Tim Hortons Reward Points

Tim Hortons started a special points system called the Tim Hortons Rewards program in 2019. It was created to thank loyal customers and make each visit more rewarding. Anyone can join for free using the app or website.

You can collect Tim Hortons Points by scanning your card or app when you buy coffee, tea, donuts, or other items. Later, you can use those points to redeem Tim Hortons rewards like free drinks or food.

When the program started, customers earned 10 points for each visit, regardless of how much they spent. On June 17, 2022, Tim Hortons changed the rules so that you now earn points based on how much you spend. This means if you spend more, you get more points, making it quicker to earn rewards.
