	   |  Gas Stations & Reward Points  
 
			
			I have both Esso and Petro point card but I dont really know what to redeem the point with, could RSer shed some ideas on here? 
 I use my Esso card for car wash here and there, that's about it.
 
 Which gas stations do you go and what do you use the points for ?

			If it's strictly for rewards, nothing beats Superstore's 3.5¢/L or whatever it is now Superbucks rebate.

			Esso giftcards are what i get. Use it for gas/store purchases.
 Starting to use aeroplan at esso, but it takes forever to collect enough points to earn anything good.

			Petro-Canada for Petro points - they sent me a trial Fuel Savings Reward card for 5 cents off/litre ^__^Husky because of the $2 coupon
 
 I used to go to Chevron a lot, but Save-on-More is pointless, so there's not a lot of incentive to fill up there, other than Techron. Does anyone know if there's still "Tactrol" in Petro-Canada gas? They used to market it but I've heard less about it now.

			1800 points gets you $10 at Esso, 1 point per dollar spent.  You can also use your aeroplan card at 1 point for 3 dollars spent.

			Back in the days when PC, petro, unaltered Sears reward was all hooked up, it was worth more than 4% reward with double dipping. Now it's down to 1%. Blah!
 I guess smartcash MC (3% cashback) plus a reward card for any gas station would suffice.

 The posts where all in good humour and topical (most of the time).
 
 It was not the quantity of posts it was based on quality.
 
 Only a few ROOGP are left on RS as most of the ROOGP got fed up of the BS that the new breed of Post Whores are putting up in here.

			For superbucks, is there any card of anything required like esso? 
I think I might start gassing up at superstore since the rebate looks pretty damn good.    
Is this the same for the ones in Vancouver?

If I were you, I'd be bored of eggs.  
I can never eat the same thing 3 times in a row.
