Advantages: Money off fuel is worth it

Disadvantages: Aministration and website could be better, reward level low

I signed up for the Shell drivers club as Shell seem to own most of the fuel stations near me and driving to work it seemed sensible to collect points that paid me back a small amount for using their station.

So far I've collected a load of points and not got a great deal back! When you sign up you are given various options for rewards- Green rewards, money off fuel, High Street Vouchers or airmiles. I chose the money off vouchers as I felt that was the most useful reward and the most achievable- 500 litres of fuel is 500 points which is £5 off. I have a diesel so get 500 miles to a tank, so it can be difficult to rack up points- never the less I got to 500 points and nothing happened. The points were deducted but my voucher annoyingly got lost in the post!

Last month I went on holiday in the car travelling between England and Scotland as well as working. All in all this meant I covered quite a distance and bought 205 litres in the month. This gave me double points and I have to say it was great to get some extra rewards. I have also had cashiers 'forget' to scan it and loose me points!

You can monitor the scheme online and this is useful as I get to see my fuel usage and where I filled up! Can be helpful!

The scheme is certainly promising, and if you are a high mileage business driver you will have rewards, but low mileages it isn't worth it. If I get the rewards- not lost in post I will be happy and the £5 voucher will be ample reward this time!

Summary: Reward scheme but has issues!
