AD Rewards – Bartle and Gibson

In Edmonton Alberta, Milton Guillen’s journey with AD Rewards isn’t just about business—it’s a story of partnerships, discoveries, and satisfaction.

Milton’s company has been working with Bartle and Gibson for a decade.

“We’ve been working with Bartle and Gibson since our company started 10 years ago. So ever since Bartle and Gibson has been a part of AD Rewards, we’ve been a part of it too.”

“We prioritize AD Rewards suppliers to rack up points,” Milton explains, emphasizing how it helps their procurement strategy. For Milton, AD Rewards means practical benefits and loyalty perks. But it isn’t only about earning points; it’s about optimizing operations while enjoying the benefits of rewarded loyalty.

“I use the program for both personal rewards and rewards for the employees for holidays and tournaments,” Milton adds. He notes that AD Rewards at Bartle and Gibson nudges them towards making purchases that boost points for rewards.

Milton also engages in supplier-led promotions, such as double point rewards, which help drive their decisions. “They’re a good motivator,” Milton notes, highlighting their impact on purchasing habits.

He says that he prefers to make larger redemptions infrequently: “We tend to purchase larger items that require a more significant number of points. We wait until we’ve accumulated enough, which usually happens every 3-4 months.”

Recently, AD Rewards brought some unexpected joy to Milton and his family. “We found a coveted Zup board,” Milton recalls. It had been elusive locally, making its discovery a thrill for both Milton and his kids.

“We had been searching for the Zup board— it’s a kind of surfboard-kneeboard that you tow behind a boat—for years in Edmonton. They’re always sold out locally, and ordering from the states is pricey. One day, browsing through the rewards catalogue, I spotted it on AD Rewards. I couldn’t believe it! I clicked to order, and soon enough, our board was on its way. We’d waited two years for this, unable to find it anywhere else. Our kids are thrilled to finally use it. During COVID, suppliers in Edmonton were constantly sold out, but AD Rewards came through unexpectedly. When Bartle and Gibson called me about the huge box that showed up, I laughed and explained how we’d been waiting for this and looking for a Zup board for years!”

AD Rewards isn’t just about points—it’s about enhancing operations and personal moments. Whether streamlining efficiency or bringing happiness to his family, AD Rewards plays a crucial role in Milton’s business endeavors.

For those looking to enjoy similar rewards, enrolling in the AD Rewards Program through Bartle and Gibson is both easy and convenient. Visit the Bartle and Gibson’s AD Rewards Registration website or drop by any of Bartle and Gibson’s 30+ locations across Western Canada to start accessing rewards that suit your personal and professional needs.
