My V power card has always been fine as well. Did login and tick the receive petrol vouchers thou. Magazine and vouchers come roughly as others have said. Magazine does have a few bits worth reading + some nice motors. Don't expect much in the way of fuel vouchers thou considering what you shell out!

Im a little against these fuel cards because it actually saves you very little but forces your hand to use certain garages.
My car needs 98+RON. Either T99 or V-power. I have 4 shell garages within a 3 mile radius, the closest about 1.5 miles away. Compare this to one Tesco garage about 3 miles away. Irrespective of the cards, I'd still use Shell.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Me too. I exclusively use V-Power, not because of any loyalty card but because I believe it's best for my car. I suppose that I do feel a degree of 'loyalty' to Shell but only due to my godfather as I mentioned earlier but it's more in rememberance of him as he was very supportive.

@Rich:
Yes, Shell could easily set up a global European points network if they wanted to.

How many pence do you get for each point?  I have't been receiving vouchers either, and looking online I have about 8100 points. £5 for 1000 points?

The best way to get the maximum fuel vouchers you can is to register for fuel vouchers only.

Seems I have finally got to the bottom of my vouchers, or the lack of them.

For some reason my account had 3 cards linked, I think from when they upgraded my standard one to V-Power.  I only use the one card which has all the correct details for my current abode however one of the other cards has details of a previous address and you can guess where they were sending my vouchers!!

Just sent them a message via their contact page. Let's see what they say.

well just been on looking at my account I have 1,100 points sat there.  All details were as they should be but the new v-power card wasnt linked to my account, had to sign in with my old card, I have added the v-power card to the account as a recent fill up on saturday (first with the new card) wasnt registered on the history.  Let see if that helps with some vouchers!

Also seen that you can now earn points by online shopping through the shell portal with some big chains to rack points up quicker, black circles were on there currys pc world dixons as well Dell Apple HMV etc Also Tesco might be a good way to rack up some extra points if you have any purchases already planned!

Yep you have to enable the v-power card when you receive it as it won't link to your account automatically. You should be sorted now.  :smiley:

I don't have a Shell Drivers Club card yet but when I asked for one last week they didn't have any. Looks like it might not be worth the hassle of getting one seeing as it's pot luck if you receive any vouchers!

Also if any one wants to have a go at them the letter I got through with my card has the number for customer services 08459 006 008  :evilgrin:

So they charge you to ring them and complain as well?  :fighting:

Try this freefone number instead: 0800 7318888 (Shell Customer Service) and do it for free!

Well I've received a reply from them. They tell me the vouchers should be out end of Feb/early March.

£10 on them not delivering.  :grin:

Hmmm....Logged into my shell account. I have 322 points! That means I've "redeemed" 2300 points, which equates to £11.50 in money-off vouchers.  :laugh:

Still no sign of them, but we shall see what happens over the next few days.

Spooky all this chat is, last night put £50 of V-Power in at the rather steep price of 139.9. Which was 10p more than their boggo unleaded.
Has it always been ten pence more than their cheap lager?

I like others on here prefer to give the car a drop of this rather than anything else and although i've been using Shell 'super' for a while since the Optimax days, I have never bothered to register any points card, only through laziness really.
I had a Shell card about 12 months back, but never got it registered and as I haven't a clue where it is, so when last night I was offered another loyalty card, I got one with the definite thought that this weekend I really will send it off or register on the net. 
Seems like it might not be worth wasting my time on that though.

Hope I don't look back on this post in future weeks and say 140p per litre...wow that was cheap back in Feb 2011.
