Gift Cards

What is a gift card?

A gift card is a pre-paid, re-loadable cash card that you can use to pay for merchandise online or at any of our locations across Canada. It is the convenient and easy way to pay!

What is the difference between an e-gift card and a plastic gift card?

E-gift cards are digital gift cards that are emailed directly to the gift recipient immediately or on a given date. Plastic gift cards are mailed to the recipient (shipping takes 4-9 business days), both can be used online or in stores.

Where can I get a gift card?

Visit one of our stores to purchase a plastic gift card or go online to purchase either a plastic gift card or an e-gift card.

Is there a gift card purchase minimum?

We offer different denominations ($25, $50, etc.) for our plastic/e-gift cards. You can also specify a different amount, if the amount you want on the card is not one we already offer. Purchases of gift cards online require a minimum amount of $5.00 and cannot exceed $1,000.

Do I have to pay shipping for my gift card?

No, there is no shipping fee to receive a plastic or e-gift card.

Standard shipping delivery usually takes between 4-9 business days for plastic gift cards. Alternately, you may opt for Express Shipping, with shipments delivered within 2-3 business days and tracking included for the rate of $15.99, before taxes.

E-gift cards will be emailed or sent via text message immediately or on the delivery date selected.

I have a gift card, but it says it’s only valid in-store. Can I use this online?

You can! All gift cards can now be redeemed online, as long as they still hold a balance.

My gift card doesn’t cover the entire cost of the item I want. Can I pay the rest of the amount with my credit card?

Yes! You can use gift cards or a credit card to complete your purchase. Currently, you can use up to five gift cards to complete a purchase. PayPal payment cannot be combined with other form of payments.

Can I use my gift card for an online order being shipped to the US?

Yes, but all amounts on our gift cards are in Canadian dollars. They can be redeemed online or in any Canadian stores.

I’m having issues trying to buy a plastic gift card or an e-gift card online. Who can help me?

If you are experiencing issues with completing your gift card purchase, or have not received delivery of a gift card purchased, please call 1-888-205-5801 or email : rclgiftcards@buyatab.com for assistance.

I received a plastic/e-gift card as a gift, but I don’t want it. Can I return it?

All sales of plastic or e-gift cards are final.

What happens if I return an item purchased with a gift card?

You will be refunded with an e-gift card and you will receive a separate email with the e-gift card details. Please retain this email, as you will need the information to purchase online, or bring the email in-store to make an in-store purchase. If you paid for your purchase using both a credit card and a gift card, a portion of your refund may be applied back to your credit card.

Gift card use

Redeeming a gift card

Redeeming a gift card is easy! Just shop and check out as you normally would. During checkout, you can enter your gift card number into the gift card entry fields during the checkout process. You will need to enter both the gift card number and the 4-digit PIN (if you have a pin) located on the back of your gift card. When you click the "Apply" button, you will get a confirmation message indicating that the gift card has been applied to your order.

Checking the balance on a gift card

The balance on your gift card can be checked anytime at any of our store locations. No purchase is necessary to check your balance.
