No more AeroPlan Miles with ESSO
Just received an email that effective May 31, 2018 Esso will no longer issue Aeroplan Miles!
Bummer, so I guess its Petro Canada or whoever is convenient as you will still get 1.5 with AP VISA or 2 X with AMEX gold!
Too bad I buy a lot of ESSO gas and stuff, no longer now.

Well I guess that's it for me and Esso...
I used to collect Esso Points so I can transfer it to RBC Rewards but then they cut ties, so I still used it because of AP and I take Premium Gas so I get 3x the points.
Lately I've been transitioning to Petro Canada... 20% more points with CAA, 20% more with RBC Visa and 20% more Petro Points with 3c/l discount.
I still have my TD AP Visa but will be cancelling it soon.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I always got less mileage out of ESSO gas. I used them for the occasional lottery ticket, but beyond that, I stayed away from their gas...
Ah well, guess I need to find another backup to earning points for AP (until corp decides to completely kill off the FFP from corp travel)

Not sure why I still bother given I’ve burnt most of my points but there’s always a chance I’ll get a Tango fare that’ll allow me to go up to a level where I can purchase a toaster or smt.

I can't complain about Esso. The stations are usually very clean. However, this is another sign of Aeroplan's slow demise. A partner being dropped with no new ones added; only enhanced ones with a variety of occasional bonuses.
Time to burn!

Just received the email myself. Buying gas @ Esso was my primary method of keeping the AE account alive. Guess I'll just need to finish draining the account now.

Carrot app. I get about 100 points a month. Don’t think it’s available everywhere mind ... I do know I installed it at home in ON and have earnt points while abroad though.
