TORONTO, Jan. 18, 2022 /CNW/ - Loblaw Companies Limited (TSX: L) "Loblaw" and Imperial have provided PC Optimum™ members the opportunity to earn billions of points since the program launched at Esso™ stations in August 2018, and starting today, members can now redeem their PC Optimum™points at Esso stations for fuel and car wash rewards.
"Imperial is delighted to announce our expanded partnership with Loblaw, which offers Canadians the opportunity to now redeem PC Optimum™ points at Esso stations across Canada," said Amy Newman, Retail Sales and Marketing Director, Imperial. "This partnership provides industry-leading value through the PC Optimum™ program, rewarding customers on items they purchase most. I'd also like to thank our Esso Extra members for their loyalty and offer a warm welcome to the expanded PC Optimum™ program."
With the launch of the expanded loyalty program, PC Optimum™ members can now start redeeming points at Esso stations – 10 cents off per litre (maximum 40 litres) when redeeming 4,000 points and a free car wash when redeeming 10,000 points. There is a limit of one redemption per day. As they have since 2018, PC Optimum™ members will continue to earn 10 points per litre on fuel and 10 points per dollar on eligible convenience store or car wash services at Esso stations nation-wide.
