Do you need a receipt? I usually pick up my incandescent light bulbs in the weird sizes (appliance bulbs, etc) at Dollarama, but I don’t bother to keep receipts for small disposable items.
Edit: looks like this was answered below and the answer is no proof of purchase is required. Thank you!
If you purchased a product subject to an Ecofee (for example batteries, electronic products, light bulbs, or toys with batteries) from Dollarama in Québec between December 11, 2019 and July 4, 2023, or elsewhere in Canada between May 29, 2021 and July 4, 2023, you are a member of this class action and you are eligible to claim a gift card.
For Facebook Canada’s Sponsored Stories ads (that swiped names and portraits) the settlement works out to just over $11 per person. Ofc the lawyers are getting just over 33%.

A $15 gift card to Dollarama. Whew.
Well the lawyers have to take 2 million of the settlement, leaving $15 gift cards for 30,000 Canadians

It’s absolutely insane to me that these things can be settled in gift cards.
I thought “company stores” were a thing of the past, but here we are…
Gift cards are just rebranded scrip
2 500 000$
I hope this finds you well ❤️ ❤️

My local coffee shop recently gave me 15$ off just as a loyalty promo
How do you spend $15 on a coffee
Most coffee shops sell bags of beans, or mugs, or baked goods.
Have you ever been to a store that sells a variety of products or allows you to purchase more than 1 item at a time?
Were not talking about a supermarket. Its a coffee shop. Where people buy coffee
Cool. Never heard of Tim Hortons eh?
And again, have you never bought a coffee for someone else? Can you literally not imagine someone else doing things that you don’t do?

I buy all my batteries at Dollarama
So apparently loblaws/shoppers drug mart, and amazon were also named in this lawsuit
I guess they just have deeper pockets to keep fighting in court…
