PETRO-POINTS
PETRO-POINTS is a program set up by gas
station chain PetroCanada. You can earn points on
anything purchased at PetroCanada (gasoline, car washes,
repairs, snacks, etc.). Earn one point for each $0.10 spent.
There are also bonus offers available from time to time.
A few hotel partners also offer PETRO-POINTS, as well as Sprint
for telephone service.
The Citi PETRO-POINTS MasterCard affinity
card allows you to earn points whenever you use the card (not
just at
PetroCanada). This card also allows you to instantly save
$0.02 per litre on gas and diesel fuel purchased at PetroCanada
and charged to the card.
Many of the partners incorrectly refer to this program
as Petropoints or Petro Points. PetroCanada
has specified that the name should be in upper case and
hyphenated: PETRO-POINTS.
There are occasional promotions for bonus points. We
will list them in the forums,
as they become available.
Redemptions
Many types of rewards are available, mostly vehicle
related.
A $20 gas reward costs 35,000 points, so each point is
worth $0.0057 (~ 1/2 a cent), based on this benchmark. There
may, from time to time, be better opportunities for
redemptions. Converting the points to Sears Club points
is the preferred route for many people, resulting in a greater
value obtained for the points.
