shell cashback card

Hi,
Do you need to buy petrol from a shell garage at any time to be able to use this card.

    Yes

    Say you spend £100, get £1 cashback - this will be applied when you fill up at Shell.

    If you put in 20 litres at 1.20, your card will be charged £23 instead of £24 :)

    Is there any time limit that you have to fill up.
    I am asking because we do not have many shell garages in my area, only one that I pass every 2 - 3 months.
    I am only after the 1% of other purchases and not petrol but I can redeem them every time i do pass a shell garage as long as there is not a time limit.


    Thanks.

    yes you do have to buy shell fuel to get the cash back if in a month you do not it get carried over to the next month until you buy shell fuel not sure how many months they carry it over for though.

    I believe you have to fill at least once every 6 months.

    From Citi's site:

    "If you do not purchase Shell fuel in GB for six months or more, any Shell Cash Back earned more than six months previously, but not redeemed, will be lost."

    I have been using this card for about 5 months. The cashback- 3% for fuel purchases from Shell and 1% from all other purchases are building up every month and so far hasn't been deducted against any fuel purchases. Don't know when it will be adjusted against future purchases.

    I have been using this card for 8months and every month my previous months earned cashback has be deducted from the total bill, I purchase shell fuel twice a month. I seem to remember there was a thread a while back that said if the staion is not a shell owned station it might not be included as a shell fuel purchase

    It should be the following month to earning it. Back in Jan/Feb there was a system issue, but this is now fixed. This assumes it is a Shell station and not an unlinked franchise ::)
