Welcome to the 2024 Holiday Gift Card Auction!

Thursday, November 28 at noon to Tuesday, December 3 at 7:45 p.m

Please READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, particularly the part about credit card authorizations. In short, each time you place a bid, the system places a hold authorization for that amount on your card. When you are outbid, the hold is released. If you bid $50 on ten different items, this means $500 of your available balance will be unavailable until you're outbid. Any winning bids at the end of the auction are captured - meaning your card is charged. We recommend you use a credit card, not a debit card for this auction. A released hold may take several days to reflect on your statement.

You must be logged in on MidlandToday.ca in order to place bids. Registering for an account at the start of the auction will minimize delays in getting set up. Look for the verification email in your inbox, it may be in your spam folder.

What happens if I win?
