So essentially, this way, you're getting 1 AP point per $1.15 purchase at Esso. Way better than the rate of 1 AP point per $3 purchase using the AP card directly.
It's actually better yet if you use premium gas -- Esso Extra gives you three points per dollar for premium, so that would be 3 AP per $1.15.
But for the points.com conversion -- is 10K the minimum conversion? I couldn't see that without creating a points.com account.
