Shell Citi Card

Mrs_Ryan

I got the letter as well about the EasyJet card. I must be the only person to be pleased I think!! I still have no idea how I got the card (I have one other card, a subprime Capital One) think I will BT to the new Platinum card as a Platinum account is better than my current SP one. I never fly EasyJet - I just got the card to use as a credit card so not bothered about the points.

I got the letter a couple of days ago regarding the card being withdrawn, but i am confused about the whole cashback thing. Online with the card i have a figure stating cashback earned.
In the letter it says you can redeem this cashback at shell stations, is this as say them sending a fuel voucher for the said figure or am i being totally stupid please help, notice it was mentioned a couple of posts ago but still dont understand properly!!!

As a Cashback replacement card I would suggest the Capital One card, so far they have not taken that away (but they do like to increase the rates)

I WAS a fan of the card & using the points scheme, too, resulted in better value & better quality fuel, than Asa, who the Luton staions price match.

There is a last line on letter pointing us towards eggmoney 1%, so I'll look again, there, but think they start you on a silly low gredit limit!!

& had the Citi card declined in a Shell site last Sunday - poor guy on the till, only staff in the place, trying to serve loads customers, fone his boss & find the ' I agree to pay within 10 days' form. Considering the card is cleared by direct debit in full & has a £££$$$ limit, at least I knew I was OK!

When he was unable to provide me with a copy, once I'd signed it (& deleted so many of the admitting you were in the wrong paragraphs) I tore it up & left it to his boss to call me!

But getting a call Sunday evening, from him saying it'd be reported to the police as a 'drive off', I suggested he contacted the card handling company, 'cos I'd already rang Citi that afternoon & the transaction HAD gone through!!

Just hope I've not bought 5 lots of diesel, when the statement arrives!!

I've just sent my letter off to Citi to cancel this card now, having cleared the balance, 6% (briefly) then 3% cashback on petrol for a while wasn't bad, but today I've just had my Co-op dividend statement confirming £47 cash has been paid into my bank account today so I guess I''ll stick to just the Co-op members' credit card.

Consider this. Suppose you spend £100 on Shell fuel (and pay with your Citi Shell card) in Nov, you will have earned £1 as cashback (1%). This cashback becomes available in Dec and when you spend on Shell fuel in Dec it is automatically adjusted against the spend. For eg. if buy £50 of Shell fuel in Dec, your Jan statement will show: Shell fuel spend: £50, Cashback adjusted: -£1, Total to pay £49. And cashback earned for Dec will be 50p. Now this 50p has to be used up in Jan or Feb (i.e. redeemed) by purchasing Shell fuel - if you do not then you will lose it.

Got an SMS from sainsburys saying to sign some paperwork and return it, sounds promising

Paper work signed and returned, can they still refuse me the card or is it a done deal now?

My new shell card arrived, they wont tell me what the "theft risk" is they identified which resulted in the card and web access being blocked :mad:

I was going to cancel the Shell card as soon the sainsburys one arrives but I think i will let them go through the expense of issuing me with a vanilla card and then cancelling it for messing me about.
