Gas rewards expert Patrick Sojka of http://RewardsCanada.ca joins to map out which loyalty program and credit card combinations are actually worth the effort this summer, and why the system has gotten a lot more complicated than it used to be. Stacking Scene Plus with Shell, linking CAA to Scotiabank, converting Petro Points to car washes instead of fuel: the savings are real, but only if you know where to look. Patrick breaks down the per-litre math on the combinations that deliver the most value, and names the ones where the effort outweighs the return. There is also a reason these programs keep adding merchandise redemption options and ecosystem partnerships. Patrick explains why points sitting in your account are a liability on a company's books, and what that means for how these programs are actually designed.
