Aeroplan Launches Partnership with Journie Rewards

Today, Air Canada and Parkland Corporation have officially launched their loyalty partnership, and we now have details on this collaboration is going to work.

As previously announced in April, Canada’s national airline and its largest fuel retailing company planned to launch a partnership between their respective loyalty programs: Aeroplan and Journie Rewards. 

For members of both programs, this represents new ways to earn and redeem points, and access benefits. Let’s take a look at the details.

What Is Parkland & Journie Rewards?

Parkland Corporation is Canada’s largest supplier and marketer of fuel and petroleum products, as well as a leading convenience store operator.

You might not be familiar with Parkland itself, but you’ll certainly know its consumer-facing brands quite well: Ultramar, Chevron, Pioneer, Fas Gas, ON the RUN, and Marché Express. The brands you’ll see per province or territory may vary, however, as Parkland’s brands are geographically distributed as follows:

• Chevron: Alberta and British Columbia
• Fas Gas: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Yukon
• Ultramar: Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Québec
• Pioneer: Ontario

Parkland operates a loyalty program called Journie Rewards, which can be used across 1,100 participating gas stations and convenience stores.

The program’s most compelling perk is known as Gas Discount, which offers members a 7-cent (CAD) rebate per litre for up to 100 litres. You can get one fill-up discount for every 300 Journie Rewards points earned (1 litre of gas purchased = 1 point; $1 of merchandise purchased = 2 points). 

Journie Rewards also has a partnership with CIBC: with a CIBC credit and debit card, members get to save a higher amount of up to 10 cents (CAD) per litre.

Aside from gas discounts, Journie Rewards also allows members to redeem points for merchandise at the gas station’s attached convenience store, including drinks and snacks.
