Loblaws admits to bread price fixing (with immunity) & Offers $25 Gift Card

[Ciel]

My mom was laughing at the sketch last night when it aired but I do not think she got the comment about GW making the bread price whatever I want.

I don't suppose anyone received their gift card yet?

I believe they indicated 6-12 weeks from date of submission ... so that would only make it a couple of weeks so far ...

Did you only have to fill out the form once, and simply request multiple cards by indicating how many adults were in the house?

I did, and I'm not sure If I've cheated a little or not, but answered the question regarding the number of adults in my "household". I'm in a student house with four others. When it asked the question regarding number of adults, technically, I was honest in saying there are four others in my house I live in. But my parents might be requesting cards for themselves, not sure. Sorta a confusing question from my perspective.

No gift card in the mail yet but I do believe that Loblaw will want to move those gift cards ASAP to get the goodwill campaign rolling along.
@anisa -not sure there was a multiple card request option on the form but I answered how many adults were in the household. It will be interesting to see if only requested cards get sent out or if registrants find more than one card in the mail based on adults in household answer.

Think the new PC Optimum program is going to have fun tracking households as defined in their terms.

So if 3 Adults live in the household, should all 3 people fill 3 different forms ? And all 3 should write - 3 Adults live in the house, when each one fills the form ?

I guess each one has to apply separately . And not combined, 1 form . Yeah a bit confusing.

I answered 3 to each sepe rate application

The terms of the program dont say one way or the other... but also doesnt identify any penalty otherwise.

If you only fill out one form (regardless how may adults you report) and only get one card, you'll be kicking yourselves later.

I'm not sure why anyone would question the best course of action here... (?)

Better safe than sorry, I say, and have everyone eligible in your house fill out a form, and answer all questions honestly. (have everyone report the proper # of adults) -- it takes all of 20 seconds.

If you get 4 cards for 4 adults, regardless how, then that's what you hoped for. Regardless, you'll get how ever many cards you're eligible for.

each adult person has to do their own registration. i contacted them. they reply "more than one member of each household may register..." and you indicate how many people in the household on the form.
I didn't ask if someone can use the same email address for each application, but i would recommend different email address (if your parents don't have) or double check with Loblaws first.

Wow. Walmart and Giant Tiger too. Wonder if they will offer gift cards too.

[tjthemanto]

Wow they increased the price of each bread product by 10 cents, each & every year in a planned way & gouged the customers. Irrespective of what the price of flour was or ingredients, they increased the price in collusion across all the retail chains.

Then they cooly split the profits between the retailer & supplier at 3 cents & 7 cents respectively . We are talking about Billions in profits here if we include the 14 years or so that they have been doing it and 35 Million Canadians.

Loblaw, Walmart, Sobeys, Metro, Giant Tiger allegedly involved in alleged bread price-fixing scheme: Court documents

The court documents provide more details on how the scheme allegedly worked: the agreed-upon price increases were on average, about 10 cents per product per year, with seven cents going to the suppliers and three cents to the retailers.
