The holiday season often leaves us with a stash of gift cards that may not fit our needs. Whether it’s a card for a store you don’t frequent or a duplicate gift, you don’t have to let them go to waste. Metropolis at Metrotown’s “Trade It Up” event offers the perfect opportunity to exchange those unwanted or unused gift cards for something more desirable.
Here’s how you can join this win-win event:
Event Details:
- Date: Wednesday, January 8th
- Time: 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM (or until gift cards are sold out)
- Location: Guest Services on the Ground Level, Metropolis at Metrotown
Not only will you walk away with a Metropolis at Metrotown (MET) gift card to use at your favorite stores, but you’ll also support a great cause. Metropolis is donating $35,000 worth of unwanted gift cards to the Burnaby Neighborhood House, a nonprofit organization making a difference in the community.
How It Works:
- Bring your unwanted gift cards to Guest Services.

- Gift card balances will be rounded up to the nearest dollar (e.g., $34.14 will be exchanged for a $35 MET gift card).
- Cards must total at least $25 to be eligible for an exchange.
Ineligible Gift Cards:
- Cards that require validation through a paper receipt or in-store verification.
- Gift cards requiring account registration or accessible only with personal accounts.

Why Participate?
Not only will you declutter and trade up for a gift card you can use across a variety of retailers at Metropolis at Metrotown, but your trade-in also contributes to a larger community initiative. Burnaby Neighborhood House will benefit from the donation of these unused cards, helping to support their incredible programs and services.
Don’t miss out on this chance to turn your unused cards into something valuable while supporting a great cause. Mark your calendars and head to Metropolis at Metrotown on January 8th for Trade It Up!
