Because of the overwhelming response to our gift card initiative, as of 10am EST on May 12, we are not accepting new requests to purchase $25 gift cards. For everyone who participated prior, please be patient as our team continues to work through your posts and fulfills your order with the small businesses you've tagged. We'll get back to you as quickly as we can. You’ll be hearing from our team through Twitter or Instagram to get your email address in order to send you the gift card once it’s processed.

In order for us to reach out and track the support for each business, we need the small business to be present on Instagram and/or Twitter.

Once someone creates a new Instagram or Twitter post on their social media, tags your business and @TELUSBusiness, along with the hashtag #StandWithOwners, you’ll hear from TELUS through your business’ social media on the next steps.

Thanks for participating! You’ll be hearing from our team via Twitter or Instagram on next steps that include providing your contact information and a link to where you can register for this program.

We’re moved by the incredible response we’ve received from Canadians coast-to-coast. As our team is working to respond, we ask for your patience.

You can nominate one Canadian independent small business and you will receive one $25 gift card. Maximum of 10 nominations per small business accepted throughout the campaign.

We’ve partnered with Square to help you enable digital gift cards! New Square Merchants will receive their first $2,000 in sales without processing fees! Head to this site to activate your free Square account and follow the simple steps to set up your business for digital gift cards. When you're done, share your digital gift card link and fill out the TELUS form we will send you, so we can complete the gift card purchase.

If your business offers digital e-gift cards through a different platform already, we are happy to use that platform.

If your business doesn’t have digital e-gift cards, we’ve teamed up with Square to help small businesses get started. New Square Merchants will receive their first $2,000 in sales without processing fees.

Once someone creates a new Instagram or Twitter post on their social media, tags your business and @TELUSBusiness, along with the hashtag #StandWithOwners, you’ll hear from TELUS through your business’ social media. We’ll direct you to a form, where you can register for this program and share the link to your e-gift cards.

Thanks for being proactive with your Square digital gift cards!
