Jack Astor's Bar and Grill Canada gift cards

Jack Astor's is a well-known casual dining chain in Canada, with locations from Newfoundland to British Columbia. For a business, its gift card is a straightforward way to treat people to a meal or drinks at a place they likely already know. It works across the country, which helps if your recipients are spread over multiple provinces.

The card is denominated in Canadian dollars and you can send any amount between C$10 and C$500. There is no expiry date, so recipients can use it when it suits them. Once delivered, the card must be presented as a printed certificate or on a phone at the restaurant when paying the bill.

To redeem, the recipient clicks the link in the email they receive, which opens a printable certificate. That certificate is valid at any Jack Astor's location in Canada. The card is not redeemable for cash, except where required by law, and it is non-refundable. Any remaining balance stays on the card for the next visit.

Businesses use this card through GIFQ to send thank-yous to customers, rewards to employees, or compensation to research participants across Canada. GIFQ delivers the card by email in bulk from a dashboard or one at a time through an API, so you can automate sending without manual orders.

One thing to keep in mind: this is a physical dining card, not a digital wallet card. Recipients need to eat in at a Jack Astor's restaurant to use it, which is less practical for a fully remote workforce or a recipient who prefers an online reward. If your team is office-based or you run in-person events, it is a much better fit.
