SAINT JOHN RESIDENT RRRRROLLLLED UP THE RIM ON A TIM HORTON'S CUP AND FOUND OUT HE WAS A $50. GIFT CARD WINNER , EXCITED HE WENT INTO TIMS AND JUST TORE OFF THE AREA THAT SHOWED HE WON.....LIKE WE ALL WOULD DO IF IT WERE A FREE COFFEE OR DONUT......BUTTTTT.....wait for it!........You need a code for higher prizes also printed under the rim!....A Saint John man who was disqualified from claiming a $50 gift card he won after he rolled up the rim of his Tim Hortons coffee says the coffee company has offered him an olive branch.Stan Aubie told CBC News on Wednesday he felt betrayed after he was disqualified over a rule he didn't know about.The longtime Tims customer didn't know he had to keep the eight-digit PIN he needed to redeem the prize — so it meant no prize.But it appears all is well now. "Tim Hortons called today and apologized for the misunderstanding and gave me a $70 gift card. Thank you again!" Aubie said in a Facebook message Thursday evening.The potentially bitter dispute started in February, when Aubie was enjoying his usual medium, two cream and a sweetener when he peered under the rim. Aubie, used to winning the occasional coffee or doughnut, saw a different kind of winner through his tinted glasses this time.But the $50 gift card that was promised to him under the rim was not to be — all because of how Aubie tore off the rim.
