Are you getting a refund? CIBC scraps new fee on gift cards after Go Public gets involved | CBC News

CIBC customers who recently bought e-gift cards for Starbucks, Home Depot, Canadian Tire and a host of other stores were surprised to see a $5 fee added to the transaction on their credit card statements.
