It's interesting to note that at least for now, the PC Plus points system will apply at the Mobil stations. It's a fairly lucrative rebate for customers, so we have to see how long that lasts. Petro-Canada recently revamped their setup, and got rid of the CIBC Petro-Points Mastercard, for which I don't blame them. A couple months ago, I made $30 in Petro-Points without having set foot in a Petro-Canada all month.
It wouldn't surprise me if PC Plus is eventually replaced by Esso Extra. Fact is, people who gas up at Loblaws are already shopping for their groceries there so getting rid of the gas stations isn't going to hurt them too much, if at all, especially east of Thunder Bay as the discount per litre isn't as good as it is in the west.
