I do however get 1.5% at grocery and drugstores and 1% everywhere else. It's amazing how fast points add Also just got a email from petro saying that if you link hbc card up you get additional 20% points (not sure if that is on top of caa % bonus). I think it was around this time last year that esso had their 5x the points on lottery purchases, so look out for that as it was quite nice to get that and also pay with Petro mastercard.
I really dig Petro for these reasons and others that were previously mentioned, zoo.

One other thing (and this could just be my personal preference) but I prefer Petro, or gas stations in general, over the grocery stores/drug marts/convenience stores because I can be in and out quickly and don't have to wait for grannies to check their 25+ Lotto Max or 649 tickets at the counter. I also find gas station attendants to be more knowledgeable and accommodating about ProLine e.g. they are more willing to go to the back and get you new slips, they know exactly what you mean when you ask them to print new gamelists etc.

The little things add up especially on busy Sundays when you have multiple tickets for different types of games to run :)

Free signup for HBC rewards. If you link it to your petro card, you get an additional 20% in petro points.
Also you can stack it with the CAA membership to get a crazy 40% extra on your petro points!

Five percent off petro gift cards when purchased today on eBay, (plus any credit card cashback or points you may have). $200 in gift cards for $190. This deal will likely expire soon, possibly even tonight.

Petro Canada website says

Petro-Canada Gift CardThe Petro-Canada Gift Card can be used to buy anything at
Petro-Canada from gas to convenience store items. Excludes purchase of gift cards.

So should be fine for proline.

Ok done just like that! Took 5 mins. Says it will be good to go in 12 hours. I will confirm the extra points tommorow. So far tonight I got 50$ free from the gift cards and I dunno if biff mentioned but you also get a 500litres @ 5 cents off card per 4 cards. Dont really care about those as I have enough discounted litres but ill hand them out like candy to friends. Then I get extra 20% points that red mentioned which will in turn be around 40 cent per 100$ which will add up!

Keep this shit coming guys!!

Thanks guys, registered my HBC Card. Took sometime to find as I don't usually shop there :)

Shall we proclaim Petro the ProLine Players' gas station of choice? I know you can collect Aeroplan at Esso and Air Miles at Shell for lottery purchases but they pale in comparison to the promotions that Petro has constantly been offering.

Richhh, You're welcome. Anytime :)

Bang, Yup! Petro is a great place to pick up proline. Also, I find it's weird getting proline at esso while using a cibc petro MasterCard though ... Lol.
