Shell Drive For Five Card - Anybody Have One?

They emailed me the offer.  It's $1.25/gl off for the first 20 gallons, then $0.05/gl afterwards.  I think I could get $0.08/gl with FRN:

I have had the card for almost ten years. I got approved thru pre-approval. I got approved for $500. Later, they CLD to $400. I think they pulled EQ.

I got the same email offer and deleted it since the SM beats out the 5c a gal discount, wasnt enough of an initial bonus for me to take the HP for it.

I guess it's $25 bonus. Not much, but I don't have SM card and my Marathon card is useless in CA.

Ron were you putting money through it when they CLD you?

I have one.  Not sure why.  Nostalgia, I guess.  My dad always had one. Got my daughter on as an AU.

I rarely used it because they didn't have rewards by using the card. I usually use my Penfed Cash Rewards Visa at the bump. I think it is worth it if you go to Shell a lot.

I know there is a lot of Shell, 76, and ARCO in LA.

I rarely used it because they didn't have rewards many years ago. I usually use my Penfed Cash Rewards Visa at the bump. I think it is worth it if you go to Shell a lot.

Re: Shell Drive For Five Card - Anybody Have One?

I might wait. April 6 is my 60 day wait period for another Citi AAdvantage card. It would be more useful.

Does ARCO have a card?
