FREE Shell Fuel Rewards Program - Extreme Gas or Diesel Savings

NEVER Pay Full Price for Fuel Again!



I hate to admit it, but on occasion, I have been lazy about using my rewards and savings cards. After today, that won't be happening again. I'm excited!

I signed up for the Shell Fuel Rewards program a month or so ago. BUT, I didn't remember to use it at the station until today - what a dummy I've been. I've been missing out on $$$$$!   

Anyway, I told the Shell station cashier I wanted $60 on pump #10. She reminded me to swipe my Fuels Rewards card or use my member #. I swiped the card and then she exclaimed "Wow, you really saved a lot today!" I was expecting the guaranteed savings of at least .03/gallon for program members. She then proceeded to tell me I'd saved $11.02 on my fuel. 


Whoo hoooo! Instead of paying the displayed $2.69/gallon, I ended up saving .25/gallon and only paying $2.44/gallon. Score! The cashier told me that she's had some people get their entire fill-up for free due to their rewards card savings. I wasn't even aware of the various ways that you can build your discount to lower your cost per gallon, so I came home and jumped online to find out. 

What I discovered is that I had received a .25/gallon reward to my account when I linked my Mastercard upon signing up. That was all there was to it & I didn't even know I'd done it!

It is extremely easy to join this program, just sign up HERE and they will mail you your card and member info. Along with the Mastercard bonus I received, linking up other specified cards will also earn you more discounts. This allows you to rack up even more savings at the pump just from eating out, traveling and SHOPPING.. You are also rewarded just by paying for your fuel using one of your linked cards along with your Fuel Rewards card. Double bonus!

If you're like me and always looking for more ways to save, this one is a keeper and well worth the few minutes it takes to sign up. They've also developed a free killer app for our smartphones. Don't be a dummy like me and wait any longer.

Calling All Cat Lovers....


There is a great Purina Pro Plan coupon available right now HERE that you can work into quite a savings deal, if not an actual money maker after a mail-in-rebate!


Our local Petco has this priced at $14.99. I have a free PALS rewards card** so that automatically took $1.50 off of that price. 

My printed coupon took another $10.00 off of the total, leaving me with a whopping $4.69 out of pocket after our exorbitant California taxes were added in.

The exciting part of this transaction is that there was a peelie attached to the tub for a Full Rebate Trial Offer! I just have to mail in the receipt with my purchase price circled, a 3x5 card with my pertinent details and the peelie. 

If all goes according to plan, in about 6-8 weeks I will receive a check for the full purchase price of $14.99. Since I only spent $4.69 after my coupon and PALS discount, this will mean that my deal was a money maker of $10.39!!!

SCENARIO

Buy 1 15# pail of Purina Pro Plan Perform cat litter at $14.99
Receive PALS rewards discount $1.50
Use $10.00 printable coupon

Pay $4.69 oop

Remit MIR for $14.99

Very cool. This isn't a deal that will last long. The expiration date on my printed coupons is 7/12/15. So it is definitely a short timer.

**(I HIGHLY recommend joining rewards programs at stores you frequently shop. It really pays off with discounts, coupons and special member only deals. In fact, I am going back tomorrow with a $5.00 off any bag of cat or dog food STORE coupon that printed on the bottom of my receipt. I will pair it with the second Pro Plan MANUFACTURER'S coupon that I printed out and get some cat food. By stacking these two coupons - I will be able to get my bag of cat food for FREE!)
