20% bonus petro-points when linking bcaa membership

despite having lost sears as a transfer partner, i still really like the petro-points program because of what it can mean in terms of cathay pacific's asia miles. remember that 10 petro-points = 1 asia mile. also remember that for general in-store spending (including gift cards), you get 20 petro-points per dollar spent.

during my hiatus, they teamed up with the british columbia automobile association (bcaa, affiliated with caa/aaa). if you login to your petro-points account and enter your bcaa number, you will get 20% more petro-points. so whereas buying a $50 starbucks card would previously earn 1000 petro-points (or 100 asia miles), it will now earn 1200 petro-points (or 120 asia miles).

 

it's nothing huge, but every little bit counts. and it would be a shame to not be earning these extra points if one were a bcaa member anyway.
