Save.ca
Save.ca is a Canadian savings platform under Metroland Media Group (a division of Torstar), based in Oakville / Hamilton, Ontario. It offers weekly flyers, digital coupons, deals, and more recently an integrated cashback rewards program which includes card-linked offers and receipt upload options.
Users can search flyers by postal code or current location, browse discounts by store, clip coupons (printable or mailed), and explore local retailer promotions. The app (or mobile version of the site) supports loyalty cards, shopping lists, deal notifications, etc.
The recent collaboration with Paymi / Integrated Rewards (EQ Works) adds automatic rewards: users can link their credit/debit cards so that when they shop at participating retailers, purchase data yields cashback; also receipt upload allows rewards for purchases.
Some strengths:
- Very good coverage in Canada for flyers from many major retailers; useful interface to compare sales locally.
- Offers are diversified: in-store, online savings, cashback, contests; ability to combine different savings tools (flyers + coupons + cashback).
- Trusted parent company (Torstar / Metroland), which provides a stable media/infrastructure background.
Best suited for:
- Shoppers in Canadian urban or suburban areas who like planning via flyers, clipping coupons, and also taking advantage of cashback.
- People who don’t mind setting up multiple savings tools (linking cards, uploading receipts) to maximize benefits.
- Those who follow promotions regularly and want a one-stop savings tool combining flyers, coupons, and rewards.
Overall, Save.ca remains a strong option for bargain-hunters in Canada, especially now with its enhanced rewards features, though its app availability and consistency of retailer participation may affect how valuable it is depending on where you live.
