Vons, Chevron in Gas Rewards Program

PLEASANTON, Calif. — The Vons division of Safeway here has announced a program with Chevron to offer a joint reward-points loyalty program allowing customers to earn gas rewards by shopping with their VonsClub Card at Vons stores and their ValuePlus Card at Pavilions stores.

Shoppers at 264 Vons and Pavilions stores will be able to use their card rewards for up to 20 cents off per gallon when filling up at more than 900 participating Chevron and Texaco locations in Southern and Central California.

Under the joint program, for every 100 points earned by shopping at Vons and Pavilions stores, customers receive a 10 cent per gallon gas reward. Customers receive one point per $1 spent on eligible grocery purchases. In addition, by purchasing qualifying gift cards, shoppers receive two points per $1 spent, and for purchases made at the pharmacy, customers receive one point for every $1 of out-of-pocket cost, including co-pays.
