metaphase

Yep - new set of offers (apart from Starbucks), so eligible again!

Got the £15 back from Shell on my bill a day later. £15 of FREE Petrol :j

Not a big fan of the others but hey might have to pop in and see if there's anything I need

Still waiting for my shell £15, nearly a month later... Had foursquare notification pop up to tell me that I'd saved after I spent the £50, but no credit yet. Always had the credit pretty much instantly before - is this a bad sign..?

If you load to card and check in Tonbridge sbucks and then you spend£10 in London would you still get the credit? If not, can you unload the offer so to speak?

Yes, the load is per retailer, so loading via a check-in at Starbucks will work at any Starbucks branch. The same applies for all the other retailers (you need to view the check-in as separate to loading the offer).

Bizarrely, Waitrose petrol tends to be cheapest for me. I've noticed recently that they've changed the petrol station to a Shell one but it's still party Waitrose branded. Would the Shell cashback work in this kind of situation?

See if you can 'check in'. If you can then continue by loading the offer. You can't really go wrong if you get that far.

If it's on Foursquare with the Special listed then yes it will.

and if it doesn't work (as happened to me with a Shell station) then just submit a query to the Amex/4sq Sync team - as others have said as long as you were able to check-in and load the offer you should be fine (I'd take screenshots to be on the safe side!)

Ah yes, that's a point. Too many times I post on here without thinking it through according to common sense! I haven't even looked for it on Foursquare. Am just aware of Shell stations offering the cashback via these threads.

Now I just have to work out whether I can actually fit £50 of petrol in my car (Fiesta, 1.4, 1999). Only usually put max £20 in...Not interested in any of their gift cards.
