Shell / Egg instant cashback

djm1972

Don't expect to receive this offer if you already regularly buy your petrol at Shell. That's not how these things work!

I noticed this instant cashback too - wondered what it was all about. I don't see any note on my account, either, though I'm not even sure where I should be looking!

Here's to hoping I'm either 'selected' (as I always use Shell, it gives me more miles per tank than anything else), or they don't notice a mistake and nick it back!

Sent a secure message to Egg asking about this yesterday. Received my reply today:

"I'm not aware of an offer relating to Shell and your Egg Money account.

Thanks for your message."

To the point if nothing else...

Stoozing experiment #323549

Found a reasonable sized Shell garage local to my home and spent 65.84
15.84 on fuel and 50.00 on Next giftcards.
Should find out on Friday whether it's a goer.

Having had my Hotmail and eBay accounts hacked by a ballpoint pen seller (!!!) last night I am checking all my online accounts and changing passwords.

I checked my Egg card and see that I got 2% Shell cash back on 22 and 30 October for the full amount of the purchases - good eh?
Especially as Shell petrol is currently cheapest in my area :j

How could it be a promotion if no-one tells me about it though????

That says egg credit card (no cashback) and not egg money (1% cashback). If it woorks with egg money that would be a total 3% cashback, which would only match shell's citi card (cashback on that card must be redeemed against shell fuel but it available the month after being earned).

From the Egg Rewards small print...

All offers are valid for Egg Card and Egg Money customers.

Cashback of 1.32 credited to Egg Money account today. This works even though offer conditions say otherwise.

Now..... can you positively load a Next (or other) account, and request a refund?

Nice one.
I thought it had to. I don't think a credit card company can tell what is bought from an outlet - just what type of outlet it it. It's a bit like with the cards that were doing 5% off supermarket shopping didn't work in a supermarket petrol station, but you could buy a supermarket gift card in the supermarket (and get 5% cashback) and use that for petrol.

Hmm. Maybe. But maybe not. For 2% I'd say it's not worth the risk.

But definitely worth doing this if you go to Shell and know you are going to be spending in one of these places...
