work with Imperial Oil to provide our members additional opportunities
to earn even more miles on their gasoline purchases at Esso stations,"
said David Houston, Vice President, Partnerships, Aeroplan. "Aeroplan
is always looking for ways in which we can strengthen the program and
this is a great offer for members who drive vehicles that benefit from
or require higher octane fuels."
In addition, members can also earn more miles when they use an
Aeroplan-affiliated financial card to pay for their purchase at the
pump or in store at Esso stations.
"We know that customers who purchase higher grades of gasoline will seek

purchases," said Andrew Mackay, Retail Manager, Imperial Oil.
