Shell is offering a $25 Shell Gift Card when you sign up for a Shell Gas card by September 30th, and then purchase 100 gallons at Shell within 90 days of opening the account.
It caught my eye at the pump in the form of "earn 25 cents per gallon". Technically true, and it might be a good deal.
To help decide if it might work for you, take the number of average miles per year you drive, and divide by 4. Assuming 10,000 mile a year, divide by 4 and you get 2500 miles (in a 90 day window). Then divide that number by your average estimated fuel economy. Assuming 25 mpg from the example in progress, 2500 / 25 = 100 gallons of gas used.
If you're under 100 gallons, pass.
If you're well over 100 gallons, then it seems a good deal.
If you're over a 100 gallons, but close to a 100 gallons, your call.
If you have more than one vehicle, and plan to gas up all your vehicles at Shell, run the calculation for all your vehicles and add 'em up.
