Amazon Prime $1 gas discount: How to get it
Amazon Prime members will need to link their membership to Earnify, the bp loyalty program, to get the deal. Then, during the July 4th weekend (July 3-6), they can get $1 off per gallon on one fuel purchase (up to 35 gallons) when they fill up at more than 7,500 Amoco, BP and participating AM/PM locations.
Once your account is linked, use the Earnify app store locator to find the nearest participating station. At the pump, redeem the offer by inputting your phone number or linked payment method – or by selecting the gas station and pump they are using in the Earnify app.
Prime members can also regularly get a 10-cent per gallon discount every day when they buy gas at participating locations, with their linked accounts.
Amazon added the 10-cent gas discount after getting feedback from Amazon Prime members, Amazon Prime vice president Jamil Ghani told USA TODAY at the time. "We always look at where we can be of value to members and every time we ask … what would make Prime even more valuable for them, it's fuel savings," he said.

Send tips | Subscribe here | Email Canada Playbook | Follow Politico Canada Thanks for reading Canada Playbook. It's Friday! Happy Fourth to our American readers. In today's edition: → PETE HOEKSTRA throws his first July 4 bash in Ottawa. → Ottawa holds firm as deadlines shift — and Playbook gets the inside scoop. → Who killed the campaign? Conservatives circle the BBQ grill. Trade war RED, WHITE AND YOU — Free beer or free trade? That's the question for Ottawa's political class. The bubble has been keeping quiet about U.S. Ambassador PETE HOEKSTRA's July 4th party. It's his first bash in Canada, and the Ottawa fishbowl event is one of the biggest of the year. The Independence Day invites are usually highly sought after by staffers, lobbyists, journalists — and everyone in between. — Feeling excited: 'I see it as not only an opportunity to mark the founding of the United States but also a chance to celebrate the U.S.-Canada bilateral relationship and our long history of working together in North America and on the world stage,' Hoekstra told Playbook in a statement. — Theme: Per Hoekstra: Summer picnic with 'delicious delights typically featured at Fourth of July celebrations across the United States.' — Trade war buzzkill: This year, downing American beer and chomping burgers might be a challenge with elbows up. Canada and the U.S. remain in high-stakes trade negotiations, and tariffs continue to hurt Canadian workers and businesses. — Déjà vu: There is no PMO memo this year — but in the past, the silence was loud enough: In 2018, government staffers and MPs were largely absent from then-ambassador KELLY CRAFT's July 4th party during NAFTA renegotiations and tariffs on Canadian steel. Even then-Ottawa Mayor JIM WATSON snubbed the event. — No two ways about it: 'It was a very difficult time with the United States on many fronts,' TYLER MEREDITH, former economic adviser to then-Prime Minister JUSTIN TRUDEAU, told Playbook. — Think about the optics: This year is no different, Meredith argues. On X, he said that any business leaders showing up to Hoekstra's party for a photo, 'should think about the values they believe in.' He told Playbook: 'We're in high-stakes negotiations with the United States that in the next three weeks could have significant consequences for auto workers, steel workers, softwood lumber workers, energy workers, etcetera.' — RSVP: Liberal MPs who attended last year say they're planning on going again, including MONA FORTIER, parl sec for Foreign Affairs Minister ANITA ANAND. Fortier told Playbook she will 'focus on keeping the line of communication open and also fostering people to people ties!' Liberal MP ROB OLIPHANT tells Playbook he'll also be there: 'Conversation is important as our government continues negotiating the best deal for Canadians with the American government.' Playbook confirmed that Conservative Leader PIERRE POILIEVRE and Opposition Leader ANDREW SCHEER won't be in attendance. The New Democrats, who boycotted the party in 2018, didn't get back to us to share their plans. Neither did Mayor MARK SUTCLIFFE though we know the U.S. flag will fly over Ottawa city hall today. — Across the pond: Opposition lawmakers in Ireland won't be attending Fourth of July celebrations at the U.S. embassy in Dublin. Labour TD CONOR SHEEHAN said he 'couldn't think of anything worse,' the Irish Examiner reported. — Hot diggity dog: If your invite landed, Hoekstra's promising a good time. The team has spent months planning the shindig. 'It's the U.S. Embassy's biggest event of the year and our best opportunity to reconnect with our Embassy contacts,' Hoekstra tells Playbook. 'We are very proud of its reputation as one of the must-attend events of the summer.' DEADLINE? WHAT DEADLINE? — On June 16, MARK CARNEY dropped a 30-day deadline to remove DONALD TRUMP's tariffs — part of a larger deal. — The PM set the target: The date has bounced around ever since his Kananaskis bilat with the president. Even now, Ottawa and Washington do not appear to be aligned. — First: Canada-U.S. Trade Minister DOMINIC LEBLANC's office confirmed a July 16 deadline to Playbook — though the Liberal government planned to wait until July 21 to further retaliate against U.S. tariffs if needed. — And then: This week, Carney started using July 21 as the deadline, a date dropped in ink on a finance department communique. — But, wait: U.S. Treasury Secretary SCOTT BESSENT seems to be inching out the goalpost. 'I think with [the digital services tax] being removed, we can proceed on a normalized basis, and we'll see whether the Canadians come with the satisfactory negotiations over the next 20 to 30 days,' Bessent told Fox Business Network on Thursday. — Do the math: That would put us between July 23 and Aug. 2. — This week: LeBlanc spoke with Commerce Sec. HOWARD LUTNICK, but the details of their discussion remain private. — The very latest: The Prime Minister's Office advised Playbook that July 21 is the deadline — and that the Canadian side has no plans to move it. — In related reading: From COLBY COSH in the Post: Canada shows you really can hit yourself when you go elbows up. INSIDER INSIGHT — The end of the DST drama appears to have cleared the way for Ottawa and Washington to pick up talks. Playbook got the skinny on what's ahead from a Canadian government official with direct knowledge of negotiations. We've granted them anonymity so that they could speak candidly. The key points on the table: → Sealing the deal on critical minerals: Canada would supply rare earth minerals and develop joint projects as part of a two-country effort to reduce dependence on China by building a secure, North American supply chain. 'The thing about critical minerals is that you need about three or four factories to actually turn it into something useful,' said the official. 'You can't just put nickel into a battery casing. It has to be turned into nickel sulfate.' → Law and order and beyond: The U.S. wants Ottawa to pass Bill C-2, the Strong Borders Act, which would enhance cooperation on law enforcement. 'At the heart of what the U.S. wants is to join arms in law enforcement with Canada, with the same kind of toolkit that they use: intercepts under FISA warrants, the Patriot Act,' the official said, pointing to the advanced surveillance and anti-terror powers contained in those American laws. → Tariffs: Canada may be aiming to remove all U.S. tariffs, but the president considers is on a mission to reset America's tariff wall. In this system, the winners will be those that have the lowest relative tariffs. The long-term goal could be to negotiate a low-enough tariff that would allow Canada to preserve its steel, aluminum and auto industries. — Bottom line: 'For Canada the question is: What price are you able or willing to pay, from a policy perspective, to be able to get a reduction?' said the official. — In related reading: Canada's new supply management law won't save the system from Trump, CP's KYLE DUGGAN reports.

Confirmed attendance: MARK CARNEY, PIERRE POILIEVRE, ELIZABETH MAY and Energy Minister TIM HODGSON. Share your 'spotteds.' — On Sunday the federal executives of the New Democrat Party are expected to lay out rules around their leadership election. WHO'S UP, WHO'S DOWN Up: Easterners in Smithbilts. Whoop-Eee-Eee-Eee. Down: The number of B.C. cars crossing into Washington state — for the fifth month in a row. CONVERSATION STARTER POST-MORTEM — PIERRE POILIEVRE is on the bill at the Conservative Party BBQ in Calgary on Saturday. — Barbecue sauce: In case you're at a loss for small talk around the grill … we spoke to some Conservatives who argue the party should not be afraid to talk about what just happened. DAN ROBERTSON's argument for a comprehensive exercise that explains why Conservatives lost to MARK CARNEY boils down to three words. 'More is more,' Robertson, a longtime Conservative campaign adviser who devised ERIN O'TOOLE's electoral strategy in 2021, recently told Playbook. — A full menu: The founding partner of ORB Advocacy said a proper post-mortem exercise includes polling, interviews with war room operatives and local campaign managers, and frank reflections from the senior campaign team. — Don't hold back: He put himself through the ringer following the 2021 loss. 'I basically wrote a lengthy, unflinching, self-critical memo' that acknowledged his own strategic mistakes and charted a path for the next election (which, as it turned out, O'Toole never got the chance to fight). Robertston commissioned a post-vote survey with a massive sample of 10,000 respondents — and recommends doing it again this time. 'I would be polling the heck out of people,' he said, focusing on a wide gender gap that favored Liberals and the flight of older voters to Carney's side. He'd zero in on the Greater Toronto Area. So would JAMES CUMMING, the former Edmonton Centre MP who compiled a post-mortem following that 2021 defeat that eventually leaked all over town. Back then, Cumming spoke to more than 200 people, including candidates, campaigners, party members and 'thought leaders.' Much of that Covid-era work was virtual, but Cumming also traveled to Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Quebec City. 'I would spend an abundance of time in swing ridings, and particularly on recruitment into them, on tactics, on pre-election preparation,' Cumming told us. The former MP also cautioned against 'analysis paralysis' — aka don't overthink it. But don't underthink it, he said: 'Any time you lose, whether it's an electoral race or in business where you are chasing a deal and you fail to make it, you always want to know what could I have done differently.' — Manage expectations: Robertson recalled an adage that circulates among campaigners — and could serve as a balm to Poilievre's senior team: 'When you win, you get more credit than you deserve, and when you lose, you get more blame than you deserve.' MORNING MUST-CLICKS — Trump takes a megabill victory lap at Iowa rally, our colleague BEN JOHANSEN reports. — And from POLITICO's MEREDITH LEE HILL: Inside the Freedom Caucus' final surrender. — Reuters reports: U.S. will send letters to countries on Friday laying out tariff rates. — RAHIM MOHAMED notes in the Post that Alberta and Ontario are calling for a repeal of Trudeau-era climate policies. — And a spokeswoman for Environment Minister JULIE DABRUSIN told STEPHANIE TAYLOR that Canada's EV mandate must 'reflect' current times.
