Canterbury BID wants to keep money circulating in the local economy, so we’re delighted to run the The Canterbury Gift Card which has ringfences over £225,000 for the city since its inception. With over 130 local businesses signed up to the scheme, this is fast becoming the gift of choice for locals.
Where can the card be purchased?
Physical and digital gift cards can be purchased online at canterburygiftcard.co.uk. Physical purchases are then posted via Royal Mail to the purchaser or recipient (as preferred) and digital gift cards are emailed through with an activation code.
Alternatively, shoppers can pick up a blank gift card card for FREE at The Beaney Visitor Centre (High St), Wrapped (Burgate) Hampton by Hilton Hotel (St Margaret St) and Dice and Destiny (The Borough) and load at home with their preferred amount.
How does my business sign up?
The Canterbury Gift Card can be accepted by independents and nationals alike as it’s a Mastercard programme. You only need to register once and you can be allocated to both the Canterbury Gift Card and the Night Out Gift Card.
It’s really easy to get involved. Simply complete the business registration form by clicking the button below:
Once registered the gift card team will be in touch to organise a test swipe and complete your registration on the programme. If you are a national brand you may find that you are already participating in other towns and cities – check HERE

My business already has its own gift card…
This card is not designed to replace existing merchant voucher schemes, but to complement the offering. The Canterbury card canonly be spent in the city, but at a wide variety of businesses.
Does it cost me anything to sign up ?
For Canterbury BID members, there is no additional charge for businesses to be involved with the Gift Card programme. The only cost to the merchant is the usual cost of accepting a Mastercard payment.
