I wasn't being obnoxious, This thread reminds me of tescos change of coupon policy. It does seem you think its your right to have cashback on your credit card. I never mentioned anyone in general, I'm saying all cashback card threads people think its their god given right

Seemed pretty obnoxious to me, thank you. Unnecessary.

Hi,
According to threads on other forums we will be getting 3% in drivers club points effective from the 1st january 2010, this will only apply to those who are affected from the withdrawal of the shell by citi mastercard, so those who didn't have one will still only get the current rate on the drivers club, however i haven't had my letter yet to confirm this.

Thanks
Rob

I understand both points of the argument; if it was used extensively then it would be missed by the card holder, but I get that it's withdrawl isn't a great suprise either. However, this thread seems to be more about the shocking customer service than the withdrawl.

If the bonus on a card is removed, Ditch and Switch

I just want to know how they know my drivers club number from my Citi card? I mean I never told them it, not was it compulsory to do. Are Shell cross checking the databases of card holders to drivers club holders?

I was wondering the same I have never given my drivers club number to citi, I am presuming that shell have done as you have suggested and cross referenced the two databases.

I recieved my letter from shell yesterday confirming that we will be recieving the reward of 3 points per litre of fuel, however it says that I there is no need to do anything as the extra points will be updated automatically, although this offer will only last for 12 months But i suspect that shell will be working on launching another card for when this offer expires.

The letter reads as follows:

Dear Mr X

I just got the letter yesterday so I would presume that if you haven't had a drivers club card before that it will take time for them to register it, but if you don't get the letter give them a call

This is still a poor deal when you do the sums. One is better off filling up at Tesco and take advantage of the 2x clubcard points/£ spend. For an average price of £1.05/l of petrol one would be approx 30% better off in terms of reward with Tesco compared with Shell. Considering 4x clubcard rewards, it will be even more! In short, ditch ditch, ditch:eek:
