Christmas Postcard From Canada Post

I received this cute Christmas postcard the other day.
Nice gesture from Canada Post.

You must be a good client, as I am - only difference.....I did not receive a card

Lithograving, very nice indeed. And may I add that I love the way Canada Post cancels the stamp? Here in the Stats you can not read th holiday cancel; I think they just recycled the one from previous years. That cancel smears the stamps badly,

Actually I haven't bought anything from the Philatelic
Centre in a couple of years.

Yes Peter I notice that most mail from the States has
smeared cancellations.

All in all Canada Post does a pretty good job overall.

Most times mail from Toronto to my town Newmarket ( 50km north)
is delivered next day. Got a couple of Xmas cards today from
Toronto,mailed yesterday.
From other provinces three to four days.
From Austria usually a week to 10 days but I have received
letters from Vienna within 4 days.

I received one too. The cancel is different:

1712061019
3878 H4T

I did also in the United States, but I haven't bought from Canada Post in Years.

It would not be unusual for a company/organization to do marketing that targets previous customers that have not made a purchase in X amount of time.

I too have received those in the past, but, not for some years now.

I got my card Thursday (to Richmond Hill, Ontario) but it wasn't cancelled.
I have had a standing order account with Canada Post for many years but don't offhand remember getting a postcard like this from them.
Used to be the mailman would drop a card (not a postcard and no stamp, but from Canada Post, not the mailman personally) but that hasn't happened for a number of years.

I've had an account with the Philatelic Centre since 1960
and can't recall ever receiving any Christmas greetings
like this.

In the seventies I used to get Christmas cards with real stamps on them
and pictorial cancels from the Austrian and Swedish postal
agencies while I had subscription with them.

I cancelled my 30+ year account a couple of years ago.
I buy directly at or through my local Post Office as it needs $85.00 in Saturday monring sales to continue being open on that morning.
I've never received a Post card from Canada Post.

must be ............spam

Don is correct..Money grab.

I took my copy to the monthly meeting of my local stamp club. Some members had received a post card and some had not. The only common thread among those who received a card was that we all got "Details" magazine in the mail. It would appear that buying or not buying from CP had little or nothing to do as to mailing.
