Sunoco Performance Points — A Gas Card With Rewards – 4

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 4, we analyse some of the benefits of using the Sunoco gas station.

Benefits come primarily through two types of cards – Sunoco Performance Points and the HBC Credit Card or HBC MasterCard.

Both are free.
