Reward Points Exchange Bonus

I just scored and extra $5 in free gas by doing a rewards points exchange! Yes. I am currently collecting RBC rewards points, as well as Esso Extra points. RBC has Esso gift certificates for free gas at Esso, and I was at the point level where I could get a $25 gas certificate. I thought about it for a moment, then decided to check out their point exchange rates. Was that ever a good move!

By converting the same amount of RBC rewards points, I got an extra $5 in free gas at Esso! So instead of just $25 in free gas, I could get $30 in free gas, which is a total bonus.

I'm also a member of Points.com, which helps link up some reward programs that aren't normally linked, but being in Canada, my choices there are a bit limited. If you're in the US though, I highly recommend taking advantage of it.
