About Mountain Equipment Canada
Mountain Equipment Company is Canada's best known outdoor retailer, founded in Vancouver in 1971 and operating as a co-operative with stores from Victoria to St. John's. The card is a practical reward for people who hike, ski, paddle, climb, or just need dependable outdoor clothing and gear. It gives recipients access to MEC's full range, including MEC-label products and major brands, plus the co-op's famously generous return policy.
The card loads any amount from CAD 25 to CAD 500 in whole dollars, and it has no expiry date. It is issued in Canadian dollars and can only be used in Canada. Recipients can redeem it at any MEC store by showing the barcode or card number at checkout, or online at mec.ca by entering the card number and PIN on the payment page. The card cannot be exchanged for cash except where required by law, and MEC does not replace lost, stolen, or damaged cards without proof of purchase.
MEC is a natural fit for payouts and rewards in Canada. An outdoor gear gift card covers practical needs and aspirational purchases alike, from trail runners and camp stoves to backcountry skis. It suits research incentives for studies involving active participants, thank-you gifts for customers who value sustainability, and milestone rewards for employees who live in or near major Canadian cities. The card is less ideal for purely remote teams, since physical stores remain central to MEC's model, and online redemption, while available, may not carry the same sense of occasion as a store visit.
For businesses that send rewards at scale, GIFQ supports bulk delivery or API integration. You can issue MEC cards to thousands of recipients in Canada without managing card inventory or reconciliation. Each recipient gets a unique card they can use immediately, and you control the amount within the CAD 25 to 500 range.
MEC's return policy backs the purchase itself, but the gift card balance is not refundable to cash. If your recipients are spread across multiple countries, note that this card only works in Canada, and you would need a different card for recipients elsewhere.
From product selection to delivery
For a direct order, your business chooses this product, its value and the quantity. Review the card details alongside the recipient’s needs before including it in a bulk order or an integration.
Check the market and value
The card details show the values and currency for this product. Use those to choose an amount that fits your budget and the recipient’s market. For a different country, explore the brand’s other market listings.
Prepare the recipient’s instructions
Use the brand’s instructions to prepare a clear handover to the recipient, including any account or redemption-channel requirements. Ask our team about expiry if it is not listed, then include that information with the reward.
Choose direct ordering or recipient choice
If you need this particular card, order the selected product and value through the dashboard or API. If you want the person to choose the brand, confirm the options available for that payout before presenting the selection.
Start with a small order
Test the flow with a small order and keep its reference. Check the status before repeating a request that appears delayed. In an integration, connect the GIFQ order to your own record so your team can follow up on delivery questions.
