3p off Shell fuel
« on: December 16, 2008, 08:55:03 AM »
Just applied online and instantly got accepted for a new credit card from Citi bank Shell card for my fuel purchases ONLY.
3p off every litre and a further 3% cash back to be saved towards future Shell purchases once a decent amount has been acrued. cloud9:

MUST pay it off in full by standing order every month though, or it's a staggering eye watering thieving 29.9% APR! Angry9:
Discipline is the number 1 priority here.

I would imagine that's what all the sub-prime borrowers said to themselves when they took out their mortgages.  eeek:

You can certainly pay off the balance to avoid intrest every month, yes.
S/O or D/D. I'll check and see.
I tend to get the two mixed up, but it'll be the correct on that I susbscribe to once the info arrives.

UM. You make it almost sound as though it's impossible be disciplined regarding payments.
There'd be no point in having this card whatsoever if I wasn't going to do as indicated.

I, like many others, are currently looking at ways and means of 'trimming back' on several essential items that all add up to reward you with significant...ish total savings by the end of each month.
Every little helps as 'they' say. ::)

Depends when they bought the crude I feel. Mind if they took the tax out of it then it would cost about 30 pence a litre

When they buy it doesn't seem to count for anything when it comes to putting the prices up at the pumps though Snoops.

Strange that in'it? cussing:

No its not that.

You are going to spend a different amount each month and I am not sure how that amount gets drawn automatically from your bank with a standing order (you tell the bank to pay £xx to Shell on the 1st of each month).

If it is Direct Debit (you sign up so Shell can take any amount from your bank on the 1st of each month) then I can see it covers the variable amount but it costs Shell to administer, which seems unlikely given that they (the card company) make their money from you forgetting to pay on time.

Keep us posted.
