If it's "IMPERIAL OIL...<whatever>", then it should be fine. I had a bunch of those too, and they all got the $7 statement credits.
Esso stations that I've visited are running out of $25 denomination gift cards. You can tell that other people are taking advantage of this promo, thus the "empty" slots on the rack where you'd expect say a $25 gas gift card (below the $50 series of cards). I don't mind those "Ultimate" restaurant cards which do come in $25 denominations, but they are also getting snatched up quickly. Then there are the $20 Subway cards which my kids would use, and I could top them up with something like lottery tickets.
I suppose I should just get say a $50 gas gift card, but I'm being stubborn because I've got way too many already as it is, and I've got quite a few more Amex cards registered that can be used for this promo, so I'm trying to optimize my purchases...in the end if I don't find a $25 card I'll just get a $50 version. People who only have 1 or 3 Amex cards shouldn't even think twice about getting a $50 vs $25 GC.
FWIW, I did find a station that had Esso gift cards that could be used for a variable amount, from $25, $50, $100, etc. and it was up to the cashier to key in the correct "PLU #" to specify the amount...great! But, this station only accepts debit/cash. Boo!
