OKay - I am super confused over the Shell texting promo. This is the terms and conditions:
1. Text the word SHELL to the phone number 111222 before May 24, 2017. Standard message rates apply.
2. You will then be asked to provide your AIR MILES® Card Number. Enter it and send that as a follow-up text message.
3. Choose which offer you would like to get: Text A if you would like to get 5¢ off per litre on up to 100 L of fuel. Text B if you would like to get 5 AIR MILES Bonus Miles for every $5 you spend, up to a maximum of 50 Bonus Miles.
4. Your offer will be loaded onto your AIR MILES Card and ready to use between June 2 and June 15.
50 Bonus Miles Offer Offer valid June 2 through to June 15, 2017 (the “Offer Period”) at participating Shell locations in ON, MB, SK, AB, BC and NT only (excluding Flying J locations). Get 5 AIR MILES Bonus Miles for every $5 purchase of any qualifying product(s) at participating Shell locations up to $50. Maximum 50 Miles per Collector Number for this offer. Purchases may be made over multiple transactions and are cumulative. This is an exclusive offer and is non-transferable. No coupon required. Purchases of Shell Gift Cards, Tobacco products, and Service Bay repairs are not eligible for this offer. A valid AIR MILES Card must be swiped at time of transaction. Offer may be combined with other Bonus Offers. Shell reserves the right to make changes to this offer and to terminate the offer at any time, for any reason and without notice. Please allow up to 4 weeks post promotion for Miles to be loaded to your Collector Account.
I texted the number selecting the bonus miles before May 24th.
Does this mean I can only get bonus miles for a max of $50 in spend between June 2 and June 15? For some reason my brain thought it was $200 and I had until sometime in July. HELP!!!!
FWIW, I've already earned 54 bonus miles (two separate trips) from "TEXT TO CHOOSE YOUR OFFER". Can I still earn more?
I did more googling and I think I answered my own question.
1. I got a text upping my offer to a max of 60 bonus miles. I've earned 54 miles so I have 6 more to go and should pump an additional $5 in gas.
2. There is a separate Airmiles Amex (which I have) offer that I also signed up for. You get 400 airmiles if you spend $200 cumulative at Shell stations in June and July (details here).
So:
TEXT TO CHOOSE OFFER = spend $50 (between June 2 - 15), get 60 bonus miles
AIRMILES AMEX - spend $200 (between June 1 and July 31), get 400 bonus miles
So on a $200 spend, I should get 460 miles + 2 base miles from Shell + 13 CC miles from my Airmiles Amex = 475 AM (25% return)
Do I have this right?
