Cambridge BID is delighted to offer businesses or organisations a 5% ‘cash back’ (via Love Cambridge Gift Card/s) on all Love Cambridge Gift Card orders of £1000 or more between now and 31st December 2023.
The FREE Love Cambridge Gift Card/s will be issued in January 2024 and the amount will be based on the total spend of a business / organisation on Love Cambridge Gift Cards between now and 31st December 2023.
