Spending cash on essentials isn’t the most fun. Sure, it’s cooler to buy a new outdoor toy or those snazzy sneakers you’ve been eyeing. But as the name implies, essentials are – well, you get the idea.
If you’re like most Canadians, driving probably makes up a pretty big chunk of your week. Luckily, with Petro-Canada‘s Petro-Points, you can make your daily spend on gas go further – and maybe even snag a few of those shiny new things while you’re at it!
Earn points with every essential purchase, and cash them in for savings or rewards. We were pretty shocked to discover all the things you can redeem Petro-Points for. If you love rewards (and who doesn’t?!) you need to listen to this.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Petro-Points program and how you can make the most of it.
What Are Petro-Points?
Petro-Points is Petro-Canada’s loyalty program that rewards you for the things you already buy. Whether it’s filling up your gas tank, grabbing a quick snack, or treating your car to a much-needed wash, you earn points for every dollar spent.
It’s free to sign up and once you’re a member, just start swiping your Petro-Points card (or scanning your app) at any of the 1,600 locations across Canada to rack up those rewards and get exclusive offers.
How To Earn Petro-Points
Once you’re a member, you earn 10 points for every litre of gas pumped or dollar spent in-store and on car washes. 1,000 points equal $1 off, and you can redeem those points directly at Petro-Canada. There’s also a 2,500-point welcome bonus when you sign up so new members can get a head start.
Redeeming Petro-Points
Here are all the ways you can use your points at Petro-Canada locations:
Fuel up: Use your points to save on your next fill-up.
Wash your car: Use your points for a car wash, and re-discover what the paint colour is supposed to look like.
Get some snacks: Hungry mid-road trip? Redeem points for your favourite snacks and drinks right at the counter.
Redeem for e-Gift cards: Choose from up to 15 different brands such as Apple, Cineplex, Best Buy, Gap, Hudson’s Bay, Tim’s, Winners, and more. Just log in to your Petro-Points account to redeem your points online or in the app.
What makes the Petro-Points program even sweeter is the extra value that it offers from partners like RBC and Canadian Tire’s Triangle Rewards loyalty programs.
For example:
- Instantly save 3 cents per litre (CPL) when you link and pay with your RBC debit or credit card, along with 20% more points.
- Collect up to 3 CPL in CT Money with Triangle Rewards. Link your Petro-Points and Triangle Rewards accounts to get 20% more Petro-Points with just one card at Petro-Canada and participating Gas+ locations nationwide.
- You can even convert Petro-Points into CT Money to redeem at Canadian Tire Corporation retailers like Canadian Tire, SportCheck, Mark’s, and Party City
The Petro-Points program is totally free to join, and those rewards rack up fast! Head online to sign up and start saving.*
