Fuel Rewards - Do they really save you money?




 

No matter where you live, there is some sort of savings card in your wallet that you collect points or rewards on to go towards a discount on gas. 

In the Southern states, many will have Winn-Dixie or Tom Thumb/Kroger Rewards. Depending on what/how much you buy will determine how many cents off a gallon you get.

But if you shop at many different stores, the number of cards you carry around starts to put strain on your wallet.


The solution?

One card to use at all the stores you frequent. 


The card: Shell Fuel Rewards



* It's free to request a card too! Go here. 
OR pick one up at any participating Shell station

The only real catch to the program is that the gas discount you recieve can only be redeemed at Shell gas stations.


You earn points to earn off so much per gallon by purchasing certain items or just shopping at certain stores, etc.

I got to use my Rewards Card and saved a bunch on the kids school supplies with this one.

They have offers for a huge amount of stores. Here is a screen shot of their "Online Mall" to give you an idea


- Why not shop like you do already and save on gas at the same time? You're already saving money on gas by shopping at home, now save more for when you do need to fill up??

And More!!

Is America's Economic Depression over for good?


Well, the answer to that is still unclear, however we still enjoy shopping. Stores's magazine was kind enough to track our habits and give us a list of the fastest growing retailers. 

Some still remain rather unknown, others, such as Under Armour and Dollar General, are obvious up and comers in the retail sales department. 

and this doesn't have on it the names you would suspect either as "top dog" in the retail world. 


#1 may just surprise you! It isn't Wal-Mart
