Gulf Oil Heats Up Rewards for New Visa Card Applicants

Launches campaign offering increased loyalty points

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass. -- Branded fuels marketer Gulf Oil has launched a summer campaign to provide customers with incentives to apply for the Gulf Visa Card. Newly approved Gulf Visa Card applicants will receive increased rewards points every time they use their card at participating Gulf gas stations during their first two billing cycles.

Newly approved cardholders who submit their application by Oct. 15 will receive five points per $1 they spend on purchases at participating Gulf stations during the first two billing cycles, up from the usual three points. They still earn one point per $1 spent everywhere else.

The Gulf Visa Card, issued through Gulf’s partnership with First Bankcard, a division of First National Bank of Omaha, has no limit on loyalty points that consumers can earn.

Cardholders redeem points in 2,000-point increments. Each 2,000 points equate to a $20 Gulf gift card, which the company will send automatically to customers in increments of $20, $40, $60, $80 and $100.

Customers can use their Gulf gift cards to purchase gas, services or other items at any Gulf-branded station.

The Gulf Rewards program gives customers added incentive to apply for the Gulf Visa Card and keep shopping at Gulf stations, which encourages new customers to make Gulf their preferred brand. The company supports the program with promotional materials for dealers.

The company charges no fee to Gulf stations for processing this card.
