Shell V-Power Card

Post by Malcolmx92 » Sun Jun 26, 2011 7:19 pm

Is it just me or is the quality of Shell V-power card of a very rubbish quality...
Filled up last night and card failed to register points again.
Replacement card will be ordered on Monday.
New card Will be 4th one replaced in 6 months!!

Anybody else experience this problem?

My problem with it was that the points were worthless.

I'm not suprised they fail - they take a fair old hammering when there's an RS6 involved! Though I've had mine a year and it's not had any issues.

You know you have a thirsty car when Shell send you a V-Power card in the post without you even asking - they may as well just stick a post it on the card saying "Soooooo... you're gonna be needing this..."

Haha, I'd much prefer a robust 'scotch broth' mug than the customary 0.05% discount ... though the concept of being able to opt for carbon offsetting instead makes me chuckle! Just imagine how many polar bears you could save while cruising round in the '6...

Mine packed up yesterday and had to take the points on temp replacement

Have found it quite good in getting average £30 rebate each quarter

I save polar bears by not running them over.
No matter where you go, there you are.
