Shaw's, Irving up the ante.

Have you heard about the partnership between Shaw’s and Irving Oil? The companies are running a promotion that allows consumers to save money on gas by shopping at Shaw's and redeeming gas discounts at Irving Oil and Blue Canoe gas stations.

Better yet, they’ve upped the ante – both companies announced last week that they have expanded the program to reward shoppers with double the discounts. Starting last Friday, Shaw’s and Irving have doubled the gas points you can earn until May 22.

“We’ve had such an amazing reaction to our program that we thought we’d bump it up a notch. We wanted to express our appreciation for the enthusiasm people all across New England have shown the program,” Mike Goulart, Shaw’s vice president of operations, said in a statement released last week. “Now that the warm weather has arrived and people are beginning to travel more, we thought this was an excellent time to introduce this new level of savings.”

According to both companies, customers can spend the same amount to earn the doubled gas discounts at a participating Irving location. Coupons once worth a maximum discount of 60 cents off each gallon of gas at the pump will now have a value of $1.20 off each gallon up to a maximum of 20 gallons for each gas purchase. The coupon looks the same, only its value has doubled.

I think this is a fantastic promotion, especially with the recent rise of gas prices. I will definitely find myself shopping more at Shaw’s and pumping my gas at Irving.
