That seems like a plausible direction for them to go in actually. I will consider it canon :P
Precipice:
Imagine if you bought something at Wal-mart, and they gave you Wal-mart gift cards worth 5 cents or more, depending on how much you spent -- but only if you paid using cash or debit, not if you paid by credit card. You could use the gift cards whenever you shop at Wal-mart.
Now imagine instead of plastic gift cards, they give you store coupons, designed to look like a cross between Monopoly money and real money. They print it in denominations from 5 cents and up, and they call it Wal-mart Money.
That's Canadian Tire Money. It's been around for over 20 years.
Canadian Tire now has a smartphone app so you can receive the Canadian Tire Money digitally, but it'll probably be years before they phase out the paper coupons.
blt:
They're prevalent enough that some local small businesses will accept them at par; more than likely you'll end up going to Can Tire yourself at some point anyway. You get them/can use them for gas too.
It's one of those businesses that's sort of entwined with the Canadian Identity. Like Tim Hortons, or The Bay.
Roborat:
With the current exchange rate, Canadian Tire money is probably worth more than Canadian currency.

Oh please, Calgary does that on a weekly basis.
