Shell Drivers club points!

[Poledriver]

has anyone actually received any vouchers from collecting these points?
I've accumulated a large number but not received any vouchers yet!

[Jdavis]

yeah i got a massive £3 back a couple of months ago

[pacey_sot]

I was going to collect these but worked out it was something mental like £1.50 back for every £1000 or £3 if v-power club

So never remembered to put the card back in after i emptied my wallet once

They should send you the vouchers through every three months or so. It doesn't add up to much, about £7 last time.......but it's free money I guess.

Get the odd voucher for £3.50 ish. Puts V Power in the Gixxer

[Poledriver]

According to my on-line statement they owe me £29.00, but no sign of the vouchers. I'll see if they bother to reply to my (3rd) e-mail!

I usually get £3-£5 every so often and I don't spend anywhere near that much so I guess they must've lowered the amounts you need to spend.

I got £2.50 of vouchers with the chance to accumulate another 300 points if I buy a packet of Airwaves Chewing Gum. Must be my lucky day

[mcflurry]

If you use it in conjuction with a Shell mastercard you get something like 3.6p a litre off
Better than nothing

Better off with Tesco 99 and Clubcard points!

[RJB_666]

Yeah i got £3 a couple of days ago from around 600 points. And then some vouchers to get extra points if i fill up at least 5 times in a month over 20 litres a time. Better than nothing though.

Has anyone seen any "proper" tests done between Tesco 99 and Shell V-Power? (Calorific value, additives, engine life etc.)

When Tesco do a V-Power type devil's fuel i'll swap to Clubcard points again. Maybe I should go for Nectar points

I think you need to specify what vouchers you want via their website before they send anything out.
I had a similar problem a while ago when they changed the system. It wasn't until I changed the voucher retailer that the vouchers got paid out and got £25 in one hit.

From my last statement they are now only going to send out vouchers for every £10 earnt rather than £5.

2000 points = £10 voucher
1 point/litre or 2 point/litre if VPower (not including the bonus offers)
So assuming £1/litre roughly £10 for £2000 spent or £1000 for VPower.
So that's 0.5% or 1.0% (VPower) back.
Bit pants isn't it?

Anyone know what the best petrol reward scheme is in percentage money back?
I'm no longer fussed about what filling station I use now the majority of my fuel is diesel for the company van.

Only the ones done on that M3 and VX220 Turbo that were posted in the Motoring News section.

Tesco won, followed by Shell Optimax/Vpower & BP Ultimate.

I can either pay 97.9p for Optimax or 92.9p for Tesco 99. I use 100 litres a week, so I'll save £5 every week by going to Tesco, plus I get clubpoint which I can use for further discounts.

Seems the better option than paying 5p/litre extra for 3 months just to get a £5 voucher.

I got about £18 once but forgot to use it so lost it, as it doesn't roll over.

But in total I have got about £40 but that is including the £18 I forgot to use, that is over a space of 3 years.
