Drive 50,000 km/year. Fuel exclusively at Petro-Can. Save ~$300/year + earn 12,000 Petro-Points. Worth holding alongside Cobalt.
Overview
The Petro-Canada Duetto Mastercard is the co-branded card for Petro-Canada loyalists. Issued by CIBC, it combines instant gas savings with broader spending rewards.
At Petro-Canada gas stations, you get up to 4 cents per liter instant savings (depends on credit tier) + 20 Petro-Points per liter. For a 60-liter fill at $1.50/L = $90 spend, you save $2.40 + earn 1,200 Petro-Points (worth approximately $1.20). Total effective savings: ~$3.60 per fill, or 4% of fuel spend.
Outside of Petro-Canada, you earn 1% cash back on all purchases. $0 annual fee. Standard Mastercard fraud protection and basic insurance.

Cancelled — I don't have Petro-Can stations near my routine. Switched to CIBC Dividend for 4% any gas.
