UPDATE: 
Registration is now open for your $25 gift card, which Loblaws says will not disqualify you from taking part in any future class action lawsuits, should they happen. That said, any possible damages they award in the future will be $25 less if you claim the card.
Meanwhile, there’s a push on social media to donate your card to the food bank and collectively we can make a huge impact:

 

 

 

=============================

ORIGINAL:

 

 

Want a free $25 gift card to use at Loblaw stores? If you bought bread from one of their locations like the Real Canadian Superstore before March 2015, starting January 8th you can apply to receive a free gift card as part of their goodwell gesture after admitting the company participated in an industry-wide bread price-fixing arrangement.

 

 

Here’s how to redeem the offer:

 

Go to LoblawCard.ca and enter your email address to be notified once registration opens Jan 8th 2018.

 

If you’re the age of majority or older and declare you bought certain packaged bread products at one of the eligible banner stores in Canada before Mach 1, 2015, they’ll send you the card to use at their stores.

 

 

Here’s what it’ll look like:

From our sister station, News1130:
“This conduct should never have happened,” said Galen G. Weston, CEO, during a conference call with analysts Tuesday.

“The gift card is a direct acknowledgment of that to our customers. We hope that they’ll see it as a meaningful amount that demonstrates our commitment to keeping their trust and confidence,” he said in response to how the company arrived at the card’s $25 value.

The company expects three million to six million people will receive the gift card.

Loblaw and George Weston Ltd. revealed Tuesday that they participated in an industry-wide bread price-fixing arrangement from late 2001 to March 2015, but tipped off Canada’s competition watchdog and will receive immunity in the ensuing investigation.
