If you're looking for a new phone and have been thinking of switching to Telus, you might be interested to hear about a promotion that's running for the next few weeks.

Right now, when you buy a new smartphone and activate a three-year Telus contract at Black's, you'll receive a $50 American Express gift card. The gift card can get be used anywhere American Express Cards are accepted in Canada and the USA, providing more freedom/flexibility than you typically see with gift card offers.

In addition to the gift card, you'll also receive 1000 free photo prints for every year of your phone term. If you have a large backlog of photos or fancy yourself an amateur photographer, this could save you a good amount of money on prints in the long run!

Telus smartphone plans range from $40-$60+ a month, and all include caller ID, voicemail, call waiting and conference calling. Telus smartphones include the Nokia Lumia 800, HTC Amaze 4G, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and Apple iPhone 4S

This gift card offer is running until April 26, in stores. Check your local Black's location for more details.
