Shell Cards

[Zaphan58]

So I went to bob a bit of the old "go juice" in the car today at Shell and the guy asks me if I have a Shell card. I said no I don't have one so he says do I want one, I said no as I thought it was like a points thing to get a gift if you go there so much or something but on the way out I noticed a sign that said you get 3p off per litre with one.

Having a quick look on the Shell website all I can see is their "Drivers Club" which seems to get you air miles and money off shopping or their standard shell card which just seems to be a business fuel card. Anyone any ideas?

No idea, but you pretty much have to spend about £8k a week to get any decent benefits from it last time I checked

I think you can get a Shell credit card that gives you some money off.

The shell credit card is what he is referring to, it gives 3% off at all shell stations. The drivers club card gives a further 1% off, and 2% off vpower.

I use both to get an effective 4% off all my standard UL fuel.

Jez, I spend between £100-150 a month on V-Power(I have a V-Power cluc card), do reckon it'd be worth it to get one of these cards just to use for fuel?

You would get a further 3% off the pump price, so it depends if you can be arsed for the £3-4.50 you'd get back

Personally i spend into 4 figures every month on fuel, so it works out to be £30pm+ in cashback straight on the bill, not bad for just using a different bit of plastic.

 

[Marf]

Probably not worth it then, I've never had a credit card as I don't trust myself

 

[Jez]

If you are not already buying on credit you really, really should. No way i'd let my debit card pass through the hands of most garage attendants. They are clone hotspots.

 

[Marf]

Hmm good point. Plus they give 30% off RAC cover, which would also save me some money

All the Shell garages i visit have the standard card machine on the counter and most of the time my Debit or Credit card never leaves my hands.

Given the card machines are so small its hard to fit a skimmer without being easy to spot.

Can't remember the last time I didn't use pay@pump tbh.

Can you still get the points on your drivers card if you use P@P?

None of the Shell garages local to me have pay@pump.

Yes.

I would use that, but it only allows about 3/4 of a tank at a time. Rubbish :/

90 litre tank, how much lower is your car after that

Aye, it tells you when to insert it!

80 litre actually i think, i was exaggerating with 3/4 Still, it means i cant fill without doing it twice.

Car doesnt sink as its computer controlled air suspension

After you put your debit or credit card in you put your drivers club card in. Take you sometime to figure out which way it goes into the machine...well...it took me a bit of time the first time!
