Tims It Forward Shares Digital Gifts with Family and Friends

— December 4, 2020 — Lifestyle
On the Tim Hortons mobile app, there's a brand-new feature called Tims It Forward that's been introduced at the perfect time during the holidays when people are looking for simple ways to share feel-good gifts with family and friends. With Tims It Forward, Tims Rewards members can use their points to send digital gifts, which will help to treat people to freshly brewed coffee, donuts, cookies, packs of Timbits and more.

To kick off the introduction of the new feature, Tim Hortons is offering special incentives for Tims Rewards members so that they feel inspired to pay it forward. This feature was inspired by the stories that Tim Hortons hears year after year of customers sharing small acts of kindness and this digital gifting solution supports safe gift exchanges during a pandemic.
