MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), one of the largest consumer-based organizations in Canada which was recently named Canada’s Most Trusted Brand, has entered into an agreement with DataCandy to provide an improved merchant and customer experience by using the DataCandy loyalty platform for its CAA Rewards® program. As one of the largest loyalty programs in Canada, CAA Rewards provides over 6.3 million members across eight automobile clubs access to benefits at 20,000 merchant locations, which offer exclusive discounts and opportunities to earn and redeem CAA Dollars for rewards. The nationwide program will kick-off this summer.
With DataCandy’s proven loyalty software solution, vast point of sale (POS) partnership network, and existing CAA certification, the transition will create new opportunities for CAA and its partners to benefit from the program. The partnership with DataCandy also makes it possible for CAA to gain and leverage advanced capabilities, including comprehensive data capture and real-time data transmission. Additionally, the DataCandy platform fully supports a secure and seamless transaction at the POS, allowing merchants to apply CAA Rewards discounts and members to accumulate CAA Dollars.
