To clear up some “assumptions” made that were incorrect.

1) Yes Timmys is rolling out MasterCard to all stores. Any MasterCard can be accepted up to any amount. For sales under $25 no signature is required. This IS QUICKER THAN PAYING CASH. Proven fact.

2) With the exception of a few rogue franchise stores, they will not be accepting Visa, Amex or Interac. Why? Because they are too slow. Timmys would never go with anything that would slow lines…that is a given.

3) Timmys is also rolling out MasterCard PayPass. This allows you to tap the card on the reader and you are done. Faster than anything.Any more secure. Citibank has MasterCard PayPass cards. Drive thrus are the super winner here. Just order, tap your card and leave.

In BC and Alberta you were already able to use your debit card at most locations. I don’t remember about the CC as it’s been a while since I’ve been there but I’m pretty sure you could do that too.

I have been to a Mississauga location where they have a Master Card payment option already and they only accept it for amounts under $25 and NO signature is required, they even have the pay pass installed (for tapping the card).
