Thumbs down Goodbye Shell V-Power club

Shell sent me an e-mail on 31/5/12 telling me that my V-Power club points would be converted to driver's Club points as the V-Power club is closing.

As from 1/6/12 the Ferrari merchandise is no longer a redemption option.

A bit short notice. The Ferrari merchandise was the only thing that attracted me to the scheme. I will try to redeem some points (they are a bit slow at amending the website) and see what happens.

I had lots of shell points and last time they did this they deleted all my points so they can go f*ck themselves. I switched back then to nectar and have done ever since

I havent had an email about this either. Are you sure its not just your account as it closes and reverts back to standard if V power is not used often enough.

As I do 10,000 miles a year, that's 500 gallons a year = 500 litres a quarter, all of it V-power, I don't think that can be the reason.

Look at the terms and conditions by logging in to your account and clicking "Terms and conditions" at the bottom of the page.

5. Shell V Power Club

Shell V-Power Club Cards are no longer issued and all Shell V-Power Club Card Members will be moved to the standard SDC by 1 June 2012. This is without prejudice to any accrued rights and obligations that arose prior to this date in connection with the additional redemption options and increased earn rates you benefitted from.

All Shell V-Power Club members will be issued with a new SDC card and their old VPC card will be terminated.

The Ferrari Merchandise Catalogue shall as of [1 June 2012] no longer be a redemption option.
Note the bit in bold

Me either, although any reward from my V-Power points go to McMillan Cancer research. Hopefully that will remain the same?
