This is what I had sent:
Dear sir/ma'am,
I'm writing to express my concern witregards to the lack of Tim Card reader at Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan, and the sudden stoppage of availability of gift certificates. It was brought to my attention that due to the change over to the electronic method of storing gift points, the paper certificates have been cancelled. along with this information, I have also learned that such an electronic reader which is required for the Tim Card's operation is unavailable to the troops in Afghanistan. Please inform me how Tim Hortons plans to rectify this problem and how soon it will be done?
Sincerely,
A Concerned Supporter of The Troops, and A Long Time Consumer of Tim Hortons.

SENT VIA EMAIL TODAY:
Hello,
My son will be deploying to Afghanistan in Feb '08 for a 6 month tour. I would like to purchase some gift certificates for his Christmas stocking as he will be flying home for Christmas. When I went to a Tim Horton's outlet, I was told that there are no more paper gift certificates available, only Tim Horton's rechargeable
gift cards.
I would like to purchase one but I was told when I asked them to check that there is no machine available at the Kandahar base in Afghanistan that can take
this gift card.
Can you please tell me how I am supposed to get my son, the soldier, gift certificates that he can use at the Timmies in Afghanistan? I would really appreciate it and more importantly, so will he....
Many thanks,

Paper G/C that have been purchased to date, have to honoured at any Tim Hortons....and some locations can not use the "timmy cards"....example....Queen's University in Kingston....because the "swipper" they use is only for the students "flex dollars"...meal plan..
So paper g/c is the only thing they use.
And whats with Timmy's taking M/C....all you need to do is swipe your own card if the order is 25 dollars or under....something wrong with that picture....

My answer from Tim Hortons:
Dear Mr. ,
I would like to thank you for taking the time to write to us at our Head
Office. At Tim Hortons we strive to offer all of our customers friendly
and efficient customer service, high quality products in a clean and
pleasant atmosphere.
Unfortunately the Tim Hortons location in Kandahar is not set up to accept
Tim Cards. The paper variety of gift certificates is still redeemable at
this location, and can be purchased at many locations here in Canada. We
are still offering paper certificates until the stock is depleted. Please
contact your local store to inquire about the availability of paper
certificates.
It is by listening and reacting to our valued customers feedback that we
have been able to achieve and maintain success to date.
We look forward to serving you again in the near future.
Best Regards,

Quickpay Tim Card FAQs
-What is the Quickpay Tim Card?
The Quickpay Tim Card is a pre-paid, reloadable cash card that you can use
to pay for purchases at participating Tim Hortons stores. It is the
convenient and easy way to pay!
-Where can I get the Quickpay Tim Card?
The Quickpay Tim Card is currently available at participating Tim Hortons
throughout Canada. We will be introducing the card in our US stores in the
coming months.
-How do I use my Quickpay Tim Card?
Just ask your server for a Quickpay Tim Card and decide on the amount you
wish to be loaded onto the card. Once your card is loaded, you can swipe it
to pay for purchases both in-store and at the drive thru at participating
locations. Each time you use the Tim Card, the amount of your purchase will
be deducted from the balance remaining. The new balance will be displayed
on the reader.
-What happens if I don’t have enough money on my Quickpay Tim Card to pay
for my purchases?
The balance of your Tim Card can be put towards your purchase and the
remainder can be paid by cash or MasterCard (where accepted).
-Why should I register my Quickpay Tim Card?
By registering the Quickpay Tim Card online at www.timhortons.com, you can
access several additional features of the Tim Card program such as
protecting the balance on your card from loss and theft, reloading your
card with a credit card and viewing your most recent account activity.
-How do I report a lost or stolen Quickpay Tim Card?
If your Tim Card has been registered and is lost or stolen, please call
1-866-TIMCARD (846-2273) immediately. You will need to provide your card
number and answer questions concerning recent activity on your account.
Upon verification, we can freeze your remaining balance and transfer the
remaining balance to a replacement card that will be mailed to you. Please
note that the remaining balance of an unregistered card cannot be replaced
even if we are notified of its loss or theft. At all times, please treat
your card like cash.
-Why do I need to the scratch off the panel on the back of my Quickpay Tim
Card?
By scratching off the coating on the panel, you will reveal a PIN or
personal identification number. This PIN number is an added security
function and is necessary to check your balance and register your card on
our website. If your Card does not have a PIN # or the panel has already
been scratched off, please call 1-866-TIMCARD (846-2273).
-How can I check the balance on my Quickpay Tim Card?
The balance on your Tim Card can be checked anytime at participating
stores, online at www.timhortons.com or by calling 1-866-TIM-CARD
(846-2273). No purchase is necessary to check your balance. To check the
balance online, you will need the 16-digit card number as well as the
scratch-off security PIN number on the back of the card.
-How do I reload my Quickpay Tim Card?
The Tim Card is reloadable by simply presenting your card at a
participating Tim Hortons store and asking the server to reload it with
whatever dollar amount you choose. If the card is registered, you can also
reload online, at www.timhortons.com, using a credit card. Please note that
if you are reloading online, the minimum dollar value that can be loaded is
$5 and the maximum total value on your card cannot exceed $200.
-What is the auto-reload option on the Tim card website?
If the card is registered, you never have to let your Tim Card balance get
too low by choosing the Auto-Reload option. Simply select the amount to add
to your card, at what frequency you would like your card reloaded and
payment method, and we’ll do the rest. Funds will automatically be added to
your Tim Card each time your balance gets below your pre-set level or at a
specified frequency. Your credit card will then be billed for the amount.
Please note an auto reload transaction can take up to 48 hours for your
card to reload. Please consider this when setting your Auto-Reload
preferences.
-How do I discontinue the auto-reload feature?
To discontinue the auto-reload feature, please visit www.timhortons.com and
login to disable the feature within 24 hours of the next scheduled reload.
Once the dollar value is loaded, the transaction cannot be reversed.
-I have just set up/updated a credit card for the Auto-Reload function, why
is there a $1.01 charge on my credit card statement?
When you set up/update a credit card for the Auto-Reload function, a
temporary $1.01 authorization is processed to ensure the credit card is
valid for future automatic recharges. This $1.01 authorization is not an
actual charge, but it does temporarily reduce your available credit. The
billing address will be matched against the address the bank has on file
for you. Once the verification is completed, the charge will be reversed.
-What methods of payment are available online to use the reload and
Auto-Reload option?
MasterCard and Visa credit cards are accepted online.
-Does my Quickpay Tim Card expire?
The Tim Card does not have an expiry date, however, if the card has had a
zero balance for a two year period it is deemed inactive and cannot be
used.
-What fees are charged to my Quickpay Tim Card?
No fees are charged to your Tim Card.
-Why is my balance different than I thought?
It's possible that you've forgotten a visit or purchase. You can check your
card's remaining balance at a participating Tim Hortons store, by calling
1-866-TIM-CARD (846-2273) or going online at www.timhortons.com. If your
card is registered you may also view your recent transactions on the
website.
-Will the Quickpay Tim Card replace gift certificates?
Yes. Tim Hortons will be discontinuing the sale of our paper gift
certificates in the coming months. However, we will continue to redeem our
paper gift certificates.
-Can I redeem my card for cash?
The value remaining on a Tim Card may not be redeemed for cash at a Tim
Hortons store unless required by law. However, a refund may be obtained by
mailing a written request for a refund to our head office. This letter must
include the following: name, mailing address, phone number, email address,
the Tim Hortons location where the card was purchased (if available), the
remaining balance on the card as well as the Tim Card itself. Once your
request is received, we will validate the card and card balance and contact
you. The validated refund will be sent in the form of a cheque by mail,
within 4-6 weeks of receipt of your request. Such requests are to be sent
to: Tim Hortons Customer Service, 228 Wyecroft Road, Oakville, Ontario, L6K
3X7.
I have a question that is not listed here. What should I do?

account, please call

Hi all,
I received a different reply. Basically, my reply says I can purchase paper gift certificates but I must set up an account, must pay by certified cheque for the first round I buy and then I must go to one of their warehouses in Guelph or Kingston (and a few others to choose from but equally far away) to pick up the certificates because they cannot be sent via mail.

Certificates, please note that they may be directly purchased from us,

1. Considering that Green Beans has it's own smart card in use at KAF, it's not a question about technology.
2. Given that the KAF Tim Horton franchise is operated by Personnel services, should we not be after PSP's a$$ to get the electronic terminals in place?
It's quite possible that we have been barking up the wrong tree - IMHO

Excellent !
The Kandahar Timmies line-up isn't slow enough already, having to explain to the Bulgarian (or worse, the guy speaking incomprehensible English - aka Scottish) what a Timbit is....now we'll have to wait while they figure out electronic cards.

Journeyman,
As I indicated already, Green Beans already uses the darned thing... so it shouldn't be too hard to train the foreign workers who stand behind the counter.
Also, methinks that money is pretty straight forward 0 if they haven't gotten the hand of things by now... it won't take long.

The workers aren't the problem; it's the customers. And it's often the same issue as anywhere else -- "let's see, I'll have 3 large...no medium...regular....7 ice capachino....no 6....did I say 3 large? I meant 2 large and a medium....and one is a double double......." - - - only in an accent that's incomprehensible to the otherwise wonderful, usually bilingual, Timmies staff.geo said:

What's wrong with that is........how easy it is for someone to use a stolen credit card.
I was referring to Timmy's because that is the topic....and no I have not taken BC ferries ....I hear its beautiful out there though, so maybe I need to take a trip

That's why they limit it to a small amount. So even if your card is stolen, they can't get a ton of $ off of it. That of course assumes you report it stolen in a timely manner. Nearly every airport I've been to has kiosks, etc that just swipe them with no PIN or signature. I bought a $1.50 hot dog on my credit cad once as I hadn't gotten US cash yet and they wouldn't accept Canadian.
