Tim Hortons' Roll Up to Win contest causes confusion on social media
Tim Hortons’ Roll Up to Win contest returned earlier this month (March 6 to April 2) with some newly added prizes, and it seems like plenty of confusion as well.
If you’ve played the popular RUTR in past years, you’ll remember the tradition of awkwardly rolling up the edge of the coffee cup rim (usually with your mouth) to see if you had won a prize. It might have been a free donut, coffee, or even a car.
Recent years have been different since Timmies has gone virtual.
Now, after you purchase an eligible item, you would either scan a Tim Rewards card for a chance to win select prizes or place an order on the Tim Hortons app. If you use the app, you’ll even get an extra bonus roll with every purchase of an eligible menu item.
There are no printed prizes or “please try again” phrases. Many have taken to social media to air their grievances, confusion, annoyances, and more.

@TimHortons why has my purchase today not given me a Roll up to win? It started today. I see no rolls.

Not that it matters a whole lot, but how does roll up to win work this year? Arrow on the cup, but nothing there, and nothing came up on the app, although I scanned

Some Tim Hortons customers seem to understand the new system but still couldn’t get it to work or just hate the new way it works.
@TimHortons I got a lg coffee at my local Tim hortons last night and never received a roll up to win on my app? Did they not scan it or did I get scammed? Pathetic!!

Hey @TimHortons would be great if the app worked. Nothing happens when I click roll up to win. Just refreshes main page of app. #broken #fixit

@TimHortons bring back the normal roll up to win. Having to use the app is dumb.

@TimHortons
Yesterday I had 4 unused roll up to win rolls on my app, the icon and rolls have disappeared! Is something wrong with the app?— AK🇨🇦🍁 (@karen_brownz) March 7, 2023
Hey @TimHortons….when I click the roll up to win it does not take me to my free rolls? pic.twitter.com/QBpjZj7h0k

Roll Up To Win sucks. Roll Up The Rim was something iconic and something everybody looked forward to. You ruined it. And all to try and force people to get your app. Shame on you!

I wish the Tim’s app would work on my phone but it doesn’t and their tech support is no help. So if you don’t use your phone how are you supposed to roll up to win
