“Pump Up the Fun is the largest retail promotion in Irving Oil’s history,” said Sarah Irving, executive vice president and chief brand officer of Irving Oil. “It’s an exciting promotion, and we hope it encourages new and existing customers to fuel up at our locations all summer long.”

With Pump Up the Fun, Irving Oil provides customers with a collector card. Customers receive a game ticket after each purchase at a participating Irving Oil retail location. Each game ticket will give customers a chance for instant prizes and fuel discounts. They can also collect stickers inside the gaming ticket for a chance to win larger prizes including Ford Escapes, Can-Am Spyders and Sea-Doos. Gaming tickets that do not contain an instant prize will contain a PIN code that can entered online for chances to win daily prizes such as Irving Oil gift cards and grand prizes such as free gasoline for a year.

In addition to being Irving Oil’s largest promotion ever, Pump Up The Fun also signals the company’s renewed focus on investing in and growing its retail network to better serve its customers, it said. In the last two years alone, Irving Oil has invested more than $100 million throughout its retail network, including the rebuilds in Enfield, Nova Scotia, Bangor, Maine, acquisition of retail sites in New England, and the construction new retail locations in Quispamsis and Fredericton, New Brunswick.
