Discount at Shell Gas Stations

Hey did you know that if you use your credit card to pump at Shell gas stations, that you get $0.05 off per gallon on V-power gasoline?

I discovered this on Sunday at the Shell on Blossom Hill and Almaden. So not sure if this applies to all Shells

Theres no ads or signs, but once you finish filling up, the little computer screens tells you that you saved the nickel per gallon and I compared the receipt to the posted rates and its true.


time to burn more fuel guys!!

It's the Shell Mastercard from Citi. You get 5% cash back on shell gas purchases and 1% on everything else. You get the cash back each month in the form of a rebate that is applied toward your shell gas purchases. Make 9 shell gas purchases per year to avoid the annual fee.

Sorry, this is probably offstop, but, I have 76 gas credit card, and I get 4% off a gallon. Save like 10 bux a month.

I put few times 100 octane from 76 and it makes the car much smoother. During hot days especially

I'm pretty sure this sale was set to end at the end of July. I go to the Blossom Hill/Almaden Shell station a lot and noticed this discount a while back. Unfortunately, I just filled up yesterday and no more 5 cent discount.
