Best credit card to use at Tim Hortons.

Dining

Tim Hortons is the Canadian coffee and donut institution owned by Restaurant Brands International (the same parent as Burger King and Popeyes), with roughly 4,000 Canadian stores plus a smaller US footprint of about 600 locations. Beyond brewed coffee and Timbits, the menu now spans breakfast sandwiches, soups, and lunch wraps. Tim Hortons purchases code as dining/restaurants on US-issued cards, so cards offering elevated dining rewards (Amex Gold 4x, Chase Sapphire Preferred 3x, Capital One SavorOne 3%) all earn at the full multiplier.
