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 switched to Tesco99 years ago, club card incentives seem far better too

I know those words .. but the sentence just doesn't compute ..

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

Pretty crappy news, won't stop me buying vpower though as its the nearest station to me, tesco is quite a distance and bp is more expensive.

ScoobySteve69 04 June 2012 05:25 PM

I`ll be converting to Tesco then! Cheaper anyway.

i havent had no emails about this, and cant find any info. the points i get, i get back in vouchers to use on fuel

SRSport 04 June 2012 07:03 PM

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.

Tidgy 04 June 2012 07:26 PM

no email either for me, ferrari rewards were wank anyway though lol

dj219957 04 June 2012 08:58 PM

no email. here. i still get the vouchers.

cjquicksilver 04 June 2012 09:01 PM

no email here, or telegrams?

V-Power left us in the lurch last year. I now avoid Shell.

speedking 04 June 2012 09:29 PM

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 :(

Like I said, they did this last time

Since then they have lost approx 10k a year in fuel :D

The Rig 05 June 2012 12:50 PM

i dont buy fuel to get incentives, so no odds to me, but a shame for those who do collect the points

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

HAGGY 05 June 2012 04:23 PM
