The price of gas (petrol) has gone up over the years, but there is nothing we can do about it. If there is at least a small degree of comfort, it is that with strategic use, you could get something back from the gas stations or companies, and this is in the form of the now-favourite points.
The series of essays will consider some of the benefits offered by the gas stations. We will only consider the status in Ontario, and also only the following four majors – Petro-Canada, Shell, Esso and Sunoco.
In Part 2, we analyse some of the benefits of using the Esso station.
Benefits come primarily through two types of cards:
Esso Extra or the RBC Royal Bank Esso Visa Card.
Both are free.
Esso Extra Card
One or more Esso Extra Points for every dollar spent at an Esso station. (from my understanding, points can be collected even for buying non-fuel items, such as washer fluid or food items such as chips)
If you have RBC Royal Bank Esso Visa Card, then the points are mostly doubled.
Value of Esso Extra Points and Redeeming
You can use 1800 Esso Extra Points to get a gift certificate to the value of $ 10.00
Esso Partners
Esso Extra Points can be redeemed at the following places:
Choice Hotels – 4500 Esso Extra Points = $25.00
Chapters, Indigo, Coles – 4500 Esso Extra Points = $25.00
Swiss Chalet, Kelseys, Milestones, Montanas & Harveys – 4500 Esso Extra Points = $25.00 dinner gift card
Empire Theatres, Cineplex – 4500 Esso Extra Points = movie passes for two
Roots – 4500 Esso Extra Points = $25.00 gift card
Shoppers – 4500 Esso Extra Points = $25.00 gift card
Zellers, Bay, Home Outfitters — 4500 Esso Extra Points = $25.00
Tim Hortons – 4500 Esso Extra Points = 25.00 QuickPay Tim Card
Exchange of Extra Extra Points with RBC and HBC Points
2500 Esso Extra Points = 15,000 RBC Rewards Points
500 Esso Extra Points = 25,000 HBC Points
Aeroplan
Aeroplan Cards could also be swiped at Esso stations.
You will gain one mile for every three dollars spent
And if you want to donate your Esso Extra Points to a great cause, then connect to Kidney Foundation of Canada, Canadian Hockey Foundation or to the Hockey Jersey Program.
