| Chevron to stop taking More Rewards
Really just a PSA that the chevron and save on foods partnership seems to have ended and they will stop giving out points for gas.
I'm not sure if why though, if anyone can chime in.

I honestly thought that reward program was a joke to begin with. I recall swiping that reward card for quite some time and I was eligible for a bag of potatoes (I lol'd when I went to check the point). I still fill up there since they are the closest, but ignore the reward stuff. Now I'm glad there is one less screen to see at the pump.

More Reward is a joke. I used to use Chevron. Then I used Esso because you can easily get a car wash after a few fill ups and you get bonus 2 PC points per liter if you use PC mastercard.
Now I just fill up at superstore because of the 70 PC points per liter. And sometimes, in the PC Plus app, there will be an offer of "spend $30 on gas at the gar bar and receive 3000 points." It's a very nice return if you use your PC mastercard to purchase gas.
70 PC points is $0.07 cents. It usually runs to about 62 liters before my tank is full. Say roughly $79 @ $1.27/L, I get back 10 points per $1 for using PC mastercard (20 and 30 points if you have the other versions).
62 * 70 = 4340, 85 * 10 = 850, equals to almost $5.20 back every fill up, $8.20 if I get the offer on PC plus.

More rewards is partnering up with Petro Canada instead. You will gain points for petro rewards and more rewards when filling up if you link the cards

More rewards was the lamest points program anyway. I end up spending like over 1k just to get a carton of milk. Superstore on the other hand now that's a reward program, depending on my deals for the week I sometimes get up to like $15 of cash for spending around $100.
None the less I use Petro because I collect Petro Points via gas and online surveys so throwing More Rewards on there with no extra effort on my point is a no loss situation.

Superstore's PC plus is the best. Before they switched over from Superbucks I was getting between $70/$80 a month from superbucks to use for groceries

I never liked superstore gas. Always thought it was a lesser quality. Is that not the case anymore?

From what I have heard CO-OP is in the lead to buy the refinery since the closest they have is in Saskatchewan and out of anyone they have the cash to be able to afford it. That being said you never know if money from over sea's might play a factor but I haven't heard anything yet about it.
The Chevron banner will still be around but it won't be owned by Corporate Chevron like it currently is.

The bike takes 94 because no ethanol and I want to. Some older bikes (maybe cars too) can't take ethanol because it rots the tank.

Superstore for example I earn about $200-250 of cash a year and that's without trying.
Petro I earn an avg of $100-150 in Best buy gift cards a year and i my wife and I only fill up twice a month each. Yes I do some surveys on the side but the point is points to conversation rate

x2 on the superstore points gas. Couple of times i've been offered the 10,000 pts for $40+ worth of gas.

I wouldn't gas at superstore regularly but for 10,000 pts i would do it whenever i got it
heck if they did 1 cent back per litre, i might actually consider gassing there every 3rd or 4th fill up
