On the evening of Trade-A-Thon you will log in to the website and find Gift Certificates you have NEVER seen before! TEC Members will be offering specials, discounts, and items they don’t normally offer on Trade!
Among these Gift Certificates you will find many gift certificates from businesses outside of the TEC Network, as we open up the Trade-A-Thon to all local businesses wanting to join in on this fun event!
You can choose:
- An offer that’s SPECIAL just for the Trade-A-Thon.
Something you don’t normally offer on Trade, or a discounted offer.
- An offer that members can currently purchase, but you may not have a gift certificate listed for.
- The same offer you used last year!
ONLINE — WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16TH, 2026
On Wednesday, December 16th you will log-in to your TEC Account like normal, however the platform will be loaded with NEW limited time offer gift certificates and products for you to spend Trade on!
We invite ALL OKANAGAN BUSINESSES to join the network on this one day, so you'll see new businesses, and they will see you!
Do you have employees you want to reward for their hard work?
Allow us to create their very own (fee free) accounts that they can spend from on the night of the event!
As a BONUS, we will put $25 Trade in each employee’s account to get them started and you can let us know if you’d like to transfer more of your credit into their accounts as a “bonus”.
At Trade-A-Thon 2025 we saw $250,000+ worth of LOCAL BUSINESS gift certificates bought & sold from 200+ Local Business Participants/Shoppers!
