Why Cairn
A cairn shows the way.
On the trail, a cairn is a small stack of stones that tells you you're on the right path. Ours points you to the places worth your time in Calgary and the mountains, and makes every visit count.
Every partner is a stone. The card is the cairn. The stone on top is you.

Good to know.
When does Cairn Card launch?
In January 2027, and no later than March 31, 2027. If we haven't launched by then, everyone who paid gets a full refund.
How much is a membership?
$50 for your first 12 months if you pay before launch: that's the founding price. From launch, it's $80. No tax is added.
Do I have to pay now?
No. You can reserve for free and pay the $50 founding price any time before launch. After launch, the price is $80.
When do my 12 months start?
The day you activate your card, from launch in January 2027. Paying early doesn't shorten your year.
Is there a physical card?
No. Cairn Card is a digital card that lives on your phone. Tap it at the counter to show your code. Some partners also offer a promo code online.
Can I share my card?
No. Your card is personal. Its code keeps changing and expires within seconds, so screenshots and shared cards won't work.
