According to the report of CNN.COM, Shell Oil Products US (SOPUS) will launch a new credit card incentive and marketing campaign October 1, 2007 to raise awareness among consumers about the benefits of using the Shell Platinum MasterCard, with the objectives of boosting the number of active cardholders and increasing the loyalty of customers to Shell. Benefits of the promotion can be summerized as follows: (good for customers open an account during Oct. 1-Dec. 31, 2007)
1). 5% rebate on all Shell gasoline purchases;
2). 5% rebate for 60 days on the first $2,000 in purchases everywhere else—up to $100 rebate;
3). 0% APR on balance transfer for 6 months without any transaction fees;
After 60 days, you will get
1). 5% rebate on all Shell gasoline purchases;
2). 1% rebate on other purchases;
3). Rebates are credited to your statement automatically against future Shell gasoline purchases with this card;
4). No annual fee for the first year, and annual fee will be waived if you make 9 purchases at Shell gasoline pumps.
There are three easy ways to apply for the Shell Platinum MasterCard anytime during the year: Visit your nearest Shell station to pick up an application, log onto http://www.877MYSHELL.com or call 1-877-My-Shell.
As I said in the previous posts, the credit card market is extremely competitive. If you can take the chance, you can get a credit card which maybe hard for you during normal situations.
I think this is especially useful information for those just bought a new card and want to save money on the pumps.
