    AA> I seem to recall that it mentioned max payout of $25.   
      
   JH> From the CBC article about it:   
   JH> "Customers who bought bread between January 2001 and December 2021 and did   
   not   
   JH> previously take a gift card from Loblaw will eventually receive up to $25.   
   If there is still money left over after that distribution, funds will be   
   divided among anyone who claimed the gift card."   
      
   JH> If you didn't get a Loblaw gift card before, you'll now get up to $25.   
      
   It still sounds confusing.  Why do they say "up to $25" and then suggest that   
   the funds would be greater "if there is money left over"?   
      
   If there is potential to receive more, they should have said "minimum $25",   
   simple.   
      
   JH> If you already got the gift card, you won't get that $25 again, but you   
   might still get a share of any leftover funds after the $25 payments are made.   
      
   Well.. I did not partake in the gift card as compensation following the   
   scandal.
