How to Maximize the Hometown Rewards Program

Hometown Rewards, the rewards program for Irving gas, might not be one of the biggest loyalty programs, but it does allow you to earn Air Miles at an increased rate. By linking your Air Miles credit card, you can earn discounts on fuel while maximizing your miles.

We’ll explain the limitations of this gas rewards program so you can decide if it’s worth downloading the app. If you don’t mind using the program, it’s a pretty easy way to score some Air Miles, get discounted fuel, and enjoy a sweet treat on your birthday.

Note: In summer 2026, Air Miles will rebrand as Blue Rewards.

What are Hometown Rewards?

Hometown Rewards is the loyalty program offered by Irving gas stations. Before we dig into the program’s details, take a look at the provinces where the program operates so you can find out if it’s available near you:

• Newfoundland
• Nova Scotia
• Prince Edward Island
• New Brunswick

If you live in Ontario or Quebec, you don’t have access to Hometown Rewards, but you can participate in Irving Rewards. This basic program simply gives you fuel rewards.

How to set up and use Irving Hometown Rewards

It’s free and easy to join Hometown Rewards. Just complete the following steps:

1. Enter your name and email address
2. Provide your Air Miles number and personal details. Enter your postal code, birthdate, and phone number.
3. Check your email. You’ll need to verify your account to get started.
4. Access rewards and offers in your account. See what offers you qualify for, find out how to earn rewards, locate your nearest Irving gas station, or access your Air Miles earnings after you link your card.

How to earn Hometown Rewards

It’s easy to earn Air Miles and fuel discounts at Irving gas stations. The program gets you started with a nice welcome bonus. Although it may change, the current offer is 200 bonus Air Miles once you link your Air Miles card with your account and make a 20-litre purchase.

Save 3 cents per litre on fuel

To earn rewards going forward, just swipe your Air Miles credit card when fuelling up or making purchases inside the gas station. Then, after every 3 purchases of 35 litres or more, you earn 3 cents off per litre (up to a max of 100 litres).

Earn bonus Air Miles on fuel purchases

For a limited time, when you swipe your card and purchase over 20 litres of fuel, you’ll get 200 bonus Air Miles added to your account. This is on top of earning 2x the Air Miles you get by participating in the program. You’re essentially double-dipping when it comes to earning rewards.

Since this is a promotional offer, Irving may update it in the future.

How to redeem Hometown Rewards

The Air Miles you earn will automatically be deposited into your Air Miles account, but if you want to redeem your fuel discount, here’s what to do:

1. Select pay inside when you’re at the fuel pump and fuel up your vehicle.
2. Head inside and open your Hometown Rewards app.
3. Click the Rewards tab and select your reward.
4. Within five minutes of selecting the reward, have a team member scan the barcode.
5. Scan your Air Miles card so you can continue to earn rewards.

As a Hometown Rewards member, you can enjoy a nice birthday perk: a free slice of pie or cake. You’re not even required to make any other purchases at the Big Stop.

How much are Hometown Rewards worth?

Some might argue the free birthday cake or pie is enough to make the program worth it, but if you’re looking at point value, 95 Bonus Miles = $10. (Note that as of January 25, 2026, Cash Miles and Dream Miles have merged into a single Miles balance.)

This gives you 10.5 cents per point. Not bad for a gas station rewards program.
