Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com. Today I'll have another episode of Rewards on Points video and I'll talk about the new Team Heartrends Rewards program. If you're first time watching my video, on this channel I do travel videos, videos on credit cards, points rewards and other videos. So if you haven't subscribed already, subscribe now because there will be a lot more videos coming up. So Team Heartrends actually is kind of late to start their Rewards program. But finally they started the Rewards program starting March 20 which is today. And the Rewards program seems to be fairly simple. So what do you do? You do 7 transactions and after 7 transactions you'll get a reward. And the reward can be a coffee or tea or any baked goods excluding bagel and Timbits. So in terms of the purchases, Team Heartrends website which you're looking at right now mentions that it has to be at least 50 cents transactions 7 separate times and you cannot do 7 transactions or more than one transaction one after another. There has to be a gap of at least 30 minutes or half an hour. So in terms of value, if you're looking at 50 cents times 7, so you're going to get your free Rewards after $3.50 spent. But if you look at McDonald's and Starbucks, you're going to have to spend a lot more to get your free Rewards. So it looks like this one is giving you more value and it's easy to understand. So definitely this is what everyone has been looking for. Now you can collect Rewards either by using a physical plastic Rewards card which is right here. I hope you get that at Team Heartrends. Or you can just download the app and then you can collect Rewards on your phone as well. Another interesting thing about Team's Reward program is that when you are at your Reward transaction, so let's say you're getting the free Reward after 7 purchases, that transaction is actually considered another transaction. So basically your free transaction is considered a transaction and then it's going to accumulate with other transactions. You'll get more value if you redeem your Rewards for baked goods instead of coffee or tea because some baked goods could be more valuable than coffee or tea. Another good thing about the program is that you're not limited to small size of coffee or tea. You can have actually any size coffee and tea. So the key rules of this Team's Rewards program is that transactions less than 50 cents will not be considered towards your Rewards. So it has to be at least a minimum of 50 cents and you have to wait 30 minutes in between. And you can bank or you can accumulate up to 5 Rewards on your account at any time but if you go above that then the system will not include that Rewards or that purchase or transaction. So you better use your Rewards as long as it's below 5 Rewards. And then you cannot bank more than 120 days. So if you look here, it looks like to me that Team Hawthorne is considering transactions instead of an item in order to be eligible for the Rewards. What I mean by that, let's say you're buying a cup of coffee, a bagel or anything else but you know you're combining them and paying them together. That's considered one transaction and that's going to consider our account towards one Reward. You're not going to get three Rewards. So each transaction can have more than several items. So as long as they're above 50 cents then you're going to get one Reward from out of that transaction. If we look at here eligible purchases what qualifies as a transaction then it mentions right here that your Rewards are based on the number of transactions regardless of what you purchase provided that the transactions are within the key rules restrictions of the Team Hawthorne's program. So it means to me that you know it doesn't matter what you're buying. You know you're just going to get Rewards based on transaction. So if this is not the case then you can definitely leave a comment in the comment section below because I haven't tested this yet and in terms of what type of Rewards you can get. So you can get any size of coffee, tea or baked goods and you don't have to worry about actually applying your Rewards because what happens there that if you're buying several items and then the system will just apply the Reward to the most expensive eligible item in your order. So you don't miss out on any savings. So that's a good thought because you don't need to worry about what is the most expensive. Next thing I'd like to point out that my purchase didn't count towards my Rewards. Why is that? So there are certain times when transactions will not count towards your Rewards if the transaction was less than 50 cents or if you made a purchase within 30 minutes of your last transaction then these will not qualify for a Reward. If you're interested then you can actually go through all these facts but you know I basically went through the basics of this Rewards program. So everyone is happy to see this Rewards program because we have been waiting for long to get a Rewards program or some sort of points program from Tim Hortons and finally they come up with this program and if you like what you see please give it a thumbs up and if you find out something new or interesting please just leave a comment in the comment section below and if you haven't subscribed already, subscribe now so I'll see you shortly.
