No. Imperial Oil and Husky entered into an agreement to brand our network of cardlocks to Esso. As part of the agreement, Husky Travel Centres and a select number of Husky retail stations also changed fuel brands from Husky to Esso™ and are offering Fuel Technology Synergy™ gasoline (Synergy Fuel). Husky continues to own and operate these stations. Our convenience stores, restaurants and car washes remain branded Husky. For more information on this change, visit myHusky.ca/essofuels.

A pre-authorization amount is a temporary hold that financial institutions place on customer accounts, similar to when a person rents a car, books a hotel room or pays at the pump for fuel purchases.

For pay-at-pump fuel purchases, a pre-authorization amount of $200 will appear on your account until the hold is released by your financial institution. This means you will have a reduction of credit available to you until the hold is released. The staff at Husky sites cannot remove this for you.

The amount of your actual fuel purchase will appear separately on your account and be the only charge you pay for.

Important: The $200 pre-authorization amount is added each time a credit card is inserted into a fuel pump, even if the transaction is not completed. This means, if you swipe your card multiple times, the same number of pre-authorization amounts will appear on your account.

If you have additional questions regarding the pre-authorization amount, please contact your card issuer directly.

Fuel prices may vary between locations in city and provinces due to:

  • Varying taxes on fuel in each province and sometimes each city
  • Varying transportation costs due to the location of the site
  • The volume of fuel sold at a site
  • Local market dynamics between locations in the same city

The pump price is always correct.

Fuel prices can fluctuate throughout the day and will automatically update at the pumps. This means there might be a slight delay from when the pump price changes and when staff at the site can change the outdoor sign.

The fee is similar to access fees for ATM, vacuum or a payphone and covers the cost of supplying and maintaining our air compressor equipment so you can properly fill your tires and be safe on the road.

The operating level  of our Air-serv tire inflators is 99.5% or higher, compared to a reliability rate of 50% when compressed air was available at no cost to motorists and cyclists. A portion of the fee is also donated to the non-profit group Habitat for Humanity.

Parking is available at our Travel Centres for customers only. Please check with the individual location for specific parking limits which can be two hours, eight hours and 24 hours.

Return policies are specific to each individual retail site. Please contact the site directly to confirm details.

After a review of our bulk propane business, Husky decided to stop selling bulk propane across our network. Throughout 2021 and into 2022, Husky will work closely with our retailers and contractors to ensure we decommission the tanks in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. Most Husky locations will offer propane through a pre-filled tank exchange program called Tank Traders.

We’ve seen a shift in purchasing behaviour that indicates customers prefer third-party gift cards (such as Vanilla Visa gift cards). Along with recent fraud escalation, Husky decided to stop selling and reloading Husky Gift Cards.

Husky Gift Cards do not expire and will continue to be accepted at Husky-branded fuel locations.

After several years in market, we learned that the app wasn’t providing customers with the experience they were looking for. We experienced some technical challenges and weren’t happy with the overall performance of the app.

You can tap your credit card or use Apple Pay or Android Pay at the pump. You can also come inside to prepay with one of our friendly station attendants.

No, the app is no longer available. Please send an email with the store name/address, dates and the last four digits of the card you used to customerservice@huskyenergy.com for further assistance. We’ll do our best to retrieve your receipts; however, we cannot retrieve receipts from transactions that are older than 90 days from the day you contact us.

Personal Identifiable Information (PII) was encrypted and stored securely; never stored in the app or on your device. All encrypted personal information was destroyed after the application shut down.

myHusky App

After May 31, you’ll need to insert a plastic myHusky Rewards card to keep earning and redeeming points at the pump.

You can continue to swipe your plastic rewards card or you can add your rewards card to the Stocard loyalty app and scan it through your mobile device.

If you don’t have a plastic rewards card, pick up a new card at your nearest Husky station. Go to myhuskyrewards.ca/CardReplacement to merge your new card with your existing myHusky Rewards account.

Download the Stocard app, then add your myHusky Rewards card. Our station attendants will scan the QR code from the app when you make your in-store purchase.

Stocard is a loyalty app where you can store multiple loyalty cards, view your points balance and special offers.

Go to your Rewards screen in the myHusky App and tap “Add to Stocard” to move your myHusky Rewards card to the Stocard app. You can also download the Stocard app, then add your myHusky Rewards card.

Our station attendants will scan the QR code from the app when you make your in-store purchase.

We’re working with Stocard to give you the ability to see your points balance and loyalty transaction history within the Stocard app. In the meantime, you can also view this information when you log into your account on myHuskyRewards.ca

Prepayment for fuel

Many of our stations were already prepay only. We made the decision consistent for all Husky stations to eliminate serious injuries related to fuel theft, creating a safer environment for our attendants and customers.

Some of our stations are owned and operated by independent dealers.

You don’t have to pay at the pump. You are welcome to pay inside the station before filling up.

Husky implemented prepayment for fuel across its entire network in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. British Columbia had already established prepay as a law.

If you prepay at the pump, you will be prompted to insert your myHusky Rewards card. If you prepay inside the store, the station attendant will ask you to swipe your card during the transaction.

Please call myHusky Rewards – you can find the phone number on the back of your card. The points from your purchase can be retroactively added to your account as long as you still have the receipt from when you prepaid inside.

The pre-authorization receipt shows you how much money you have authorized the pump to fill, but it does not show the amount of litres. The official receipt includes total litres, the exact amount and taxes you paid and how you paid.

Important! You are only charged for what you fuel. If you authorize for a $20 fill and you only fill to $15, you will be charged $15.

You might want a receipt to expense later. Only official receipts include the litres fueled and the exact taxes, which is information needed for business purposes. Fleet and/or business customers need to go back inside to get the official receipt if the pump does not issue one.

Fuel

Made from grain, corn, sugar or starchy vegetables, ethanol is considered a renewable fuel, unlike fossil fuels such as oil and gas. Ethanol contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions since it's made from renewable, plant-based feedstocks.

Yes, federal and provincial regulations mandate a blend of ethanol into gasoline. In compliance with these regulations, Husky fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol content.

It depends on the age and make of your recreational vehicle. Most mainstream manufacturers of power equipment permit the use of ethanol blends up to 10%. Generally, ethanol-blended gasoline can be used anywhere ordinary unleaded gasoline is used. However, we recommend you refer to your owner’s manual or manufacturer to ensure your equipment is compatible with ethanol.

Premium fuel improves the performance and fuel efficiency of vehicle engines. A high-octane fuel can counter the buildup of deposits and reduce abnormal combustion and knocking (the noise that indicates abnormal combustion in an engine). Consult your owner’s manual to determine the right fuel grade for your vehicle.

Husky’s premium fuel is 91 octane. To realign our fuel grade slate with the marketplace and what is available from the refineries that supply our fuel, Husky decided, in early 2021, to no longer sell 94 octane across our network.

Several factors go into the pricing of fuel and why it may differ from one place to another, including transportation costs, provincial and/or municipal taxes, local market dynamics and the volume of gasoline sold at the station. For more information, please visit the Canadian Fuels Association https://www.canadianfuels.ca/.

The demand for diesel has increased as a result of our strong industrial development in Canada and the growing number of diesel-powered vehicles. As a component of home heating oil, diesel is especially in greater demand during the winter, which tends to impact wholesale diesel prices.

Car Wash

We offer five types of car washes, depending on the car wash location:

  1. Wand-wash (self-serve)
  2. Touchless
  3. Rollover
  4. Soft-cloth tunnel washers
  5. Choice wash, which is a choice between Touchless or Soft-cloth

Our retailers must follow Husky’s cold weather standards, which specify that the car wash should be closed down if the temperature reaches -15 degrees Celsius or lower. This protects the equipment and ensures our customers get a high quality wash.

Husky car washes use Blue Coral, RainX cleaning products and Armor All Professional® Extreme Shine Wax™. All products are recognized as a leading brand of top quality car wash products.

Yes you can. Just swipe or scan your registered myHusky Rewards card when you purchase a car wash to earn points or instantly redeem for a FREE car wash starting from 600 points.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid

Diesel Exhaust Fluid is an API-certified colourless and odourless solution that reduces the amount of NOx (oxides of nitrogen) emitted into the air by diesel engines. It is necessary for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology (used by most OEM engine manufacturers) to meet legislated emissions standards.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid that you can access from a pump dispenser.
