[PROMOTION] Esso’s Annual Aeroplan Bonus is Back (expired on May 25, 2015)
Esso seems to team up with Aeroplan once a year, around this spring time to offer a double the points promotion, which is a pleasant surprise ever year. Hopefully they keep it up! This promotion runs from March 31, 2015 to May 25, 2015.
Just for point of reference purposes, normally when you fill up at Esso, you would:
- Earn 3 points for every $3 spent on Supreme grade gas
- Earn 2 points for every $3 spent on or Extra grade gas
- Earn 1 point for every $3 spent on Regular Grade gas and other eligible purchases at an Esso station
With this bonus offer, you get to:
- Earn 6 points for every $3 spent on Supreme grade gas
- Earn 4 points for every $3 spent on or Extra grade gas
- Earn 2 point for every $3 spent on Regular Grade gas and other eligible purchases at an Esso station
Keep in mind that you will want to fill up at a multiple of $3 to maximize your return, because you do not get any points for falling short of the multiple of 3 because partial points are not awarded.
This continues to be the lamest promotion ever. I fill my 80 litres of regular gas (really, how many waste money on higher grades) and I get a whopping 52 aeroplan points. Not worth looking for an esso imo.
I agree. It needs to be 3x or more to get 1 point per $1 for regular gas. They could at least do that.
honestly the best thing about Esso is you get points whether you put in $3 of fuel or $60 of fuel. I find it incredibly annoying that Shell switched to 1 AM per transaction (min 15L) so the earn rate is absolutely TERRIBLE unless you fill up 15L at a time….
btw i found that while the regular points are awarded every $3, the bonus points are awarded every $.
I fueled up $58 by accident early on in the promo and got 19 base AP pts + 38 premium gas bonus points + 58 promo AP points
Great tip Alex!
