According to a November 25, 2014 article on https://web.buyatab.com/, Tim Hortons has launched personalized photo Tim Cards, a new E-Gifting option that allows guests to create, send, redeem, and reload virtual and plastic Tim Cards. This service is fully integrated with the TimmyMe Mobile App and is available at http://www.timhortons.com/ or on the TimmyMe mobile app.

Guests can create personalized virtual or plastic photo Tim Cards from their computer or device and send them via SMS, email, or traditional post to anywhere in Canada or the United States. The new E-Gifting option enables guests to choose from a variety of digital designs or personalize a digital or plastic Tim Card with their favorite images. They can also select the denomination, create a unique message, or add a picture, and even set the date they want their digital card to arrive.

Gord Phillips, Vice President of Restaurant Technologies at Tim Hortons, stated that the new platform provides guests with the opportunity to choose from a range of digital designs or personalize their Tim Cards with their favorite images. He also mentioned that sending a digital Tim Card is free, although some conditions apply, while personalized plastic photo Tim Cards cost $3.99 plus shipping.

The personalized photo Tim Cards can be seamlessly loaded into the recipient's TimmyMe mobile wallet for quick redemption and reload. This platform is the first in Canada to permit guests to upload their personalized photo E-Gift cards into their TimmyMe App or mobile wallet. Tim Hortons has partnered with Buyatab Online Inc. for the technology behind the E-Gift and personalization platform.

Buyatab is a supplier of E-Gift card online infrastructure and solutions for the online sales of physical and digital gift cards for leading retailers. The company provides a seamless solution for gift cards to be purchased from a merchant's online properties and delivered to recipients via email or text message, leveraging the growth in mobile device and social media use.
