DALLAS, March 2 , 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Alliance Data
Systems Corporation (NYSE: ADS), a leading global provider of
data-driven marketing and loyalty solutions, announced LoyaltyOne,
its Canadian coalition loyalty business, signed a multi-year

automotive brands as Pennzoil® and Jiffy Lube®, both of which
have helped define customers' vehicle preventive maintenance in
Canada and the U.S.," said
Bryan Pearson, president of
