Talk to the GIFQ team →Earls gift cards distributed via GIFQ are valid in Canada only, reflecting the brand's current restaurant footprint. Recipients outside Canada cannot redeem them, so this card suits programs where your full recipient list is Canadian-based.
Cards can be issued in values from $5 to $500 CAD, giving you flexibility to align the reward amount with the occasion — spot bonuses at the lower end, or meaningful client gifts and milestone awards at the higher end. Mixed denominations within a single order are supported.
Earls gift cards carry no expiry date, which removes a common point of friction in employee and contractor reward programs. Recipients can hold and redeem at their convenience without any administrative follow-up on your end.
Earls has strong brand familiarity among professionals in Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, and other major Canadian cities where the restaurants operate. A dining reward at a recognizable, quality restaurant carries more perceived value than a generic retail card for many urban employees.
Yes — because denominations reach $500, a single card or a combination of cards can cover a team lunch or client dinner, not just individual meals. This makes Earls a practical option for managers rewarding a small team with a shared experience rather than individual items.
A general-purpose prepaid card offers broader redemption but less emotional signal — it reads more like a cash transfer. An Earls card directs the recipient toward a specific, enjoyable experience, which research consistently shows increases perceived reward value relative to face value.
Earls Kitchen + Bar is a Canadian casual-dining chain with locations across Canada, known for its scratch-made menu, full bar program, and upscale-casual atmosphere. Founded in Edmonton in 1982, Earls has grown to more than 65 restaurants, positioning itself in the mid-to-premium dining segment that sits comfortably between fast-casual and fine dining. For B2B reward programs, Earls gift cards work well when the goal is to give recipients a genuine dining experience rather than a transactional discount. The brand carries strong recognition among working professionals in major Canadian metros including Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Winnipeg, making it a practical choice for employee recognition, sales incentives, and client appreciation programs targeting urban, white-collar audiences. Recipients can apply the card toward food, beverages, or group meals, which means the reward scales naturally from a solo lunch to a team dinner. Gift cards are available from $5 to $500 with no expiry, so recipients are not pressured to redeem under time constraints. HR and marketing teams running Canadian-only reward programs will find Earls a credible, well-regarded option that signals genuine appreciation without the ambiguity of a general-purpose card.
