No, $250 loaded onto 4 cards. They might have been able to load 2 x $250 on the same card but I didn't want to complicate things.
I wanted to keep it simple so I just grabbed separate $25s.

IMO the balance can be stolen because it's not just a barcode-exposed issue. Keep your receipt, watch your balance.
This advice isn't correct. It's only correct if you believe the crook was standing in a Shoppers writing down numbers or swapping cards. It doesn't account for those that swipe the card on their own personal reader, capturing the data to copy.bargain man wrote: ↑ If you buy the old style that has the barcode exposed, then yes. They have a new variant which hides the barcode. Those are the ones to get.

It's also good for tires, especially given CT can price match other retailers for it.Messerschmitt wrote: ↑ I guess this is pretty cold if there is no canadian tire gas bar right?

No, not cold if you ever buy anything from CT. It’s a stackable 9% discount on any future purchase.Messerschmitt wrote: ↑ I guess this is pretty cold if there is no canadian tire gas bar right? There doesn't appear to be any in BC

Surprising. Lower mainland has nothing. At least that's what their location finder on their website is sayingcheaper_than_cheap wrote: ↑ No, not cold if you ever buy anything from CT. It’s a stackable 9% discount on any future purchase.
My location in Prince George has a gas station. I’d be surprised if there weren’t others in BC.

The old style had the mag stripe and the barcode exposed, the new one has neither exposed. For the new style, the cashier has to physically "open" the back to scan the barcode before loading the amount on the giftcard. Are you saying the barcode for the GC is located elsewhere on the package?DaVibe wrote: ↑ IMO the balance can be stolen because it's not just a barcode-exposed issue.

Look, the cards are available in open packaging on the retail floor, anything can happen and DOES happen because these are some of the most popular gift cards. Act accordingly, keep your receipts.
Edit: Full card number is exposed on plastic hanging card (with no paper, new style).

This must be another style beyond what most stores are selling, because many still have a hanging gift card with an exposed magnetic strip (that's all I've seen).bargain man wrote: ↑ The old style had the mag stripe and the barcode exposed, the new one has neither exposed.

I mean it's always good practice to keep the receipt, but the new ones are much more difficult to defraud IMO.
