Pioneer Petroleums was a regional Canadian petroleum retailer that ran loyalty scrip programs under the "Bonus Bucks" name in the early 2000s — a format common among independent fuel chains competing against major branded stations. These notes functioned as redeemable coupons rather than currency, with the barcode doing the transactional work that a serial number would perform on a government issue. The dual-signature arrangement, with both the CEO and Chairman signing, reflects the Hogarth family's direct ownership structure rather than any regulatory requirement.
