i don't see the part that says:

*Apply now and you’ll receive 15 Bonus reward miles.

what part of the page is it?

EDIT: found it (have you use it 2 times to get the full 15 air miles. 5 air miles 1st use, and 10 for the second)

If you just keep standing there getting 1 squeeze of gas each time can you earn 5 miles for every 5 times or is there a minimum purchase? One could probably earn 100 miles per hour that way.

I dont like Shell anyway. When I ordered home heating oil I phoned Shell and asked if they gave airmiles on home heating oil. They said they would but their system wasn't set up for it. They were going to keep records and when they dealt with the issue, they would credit the airmiles. That was at our local bulk Shell oil nearby. Lies, Lies and Lies!!!!!!! No Airmiles and no intentions on doing what they said. Never got the oil anyway. Well not from them!

I really didn't know that people still got heating oil. I live in the west, no one uses heating oil, just ridiculously priced natural gas:)

You are upset that they said that they would have to manually track your purchases for the purpose of crediting Air Miles, so you took your business elsewhere, where you presumably did not get offered Air Miles. And you are upset that you didn't get them . . . . because they 'lied'? According to your post you didn't trust them to follow through without a written guarantee, you couldn't be bothered to have them document their offer and you never bought anything from them.

So tell us again why you're mad at them?

No airmiles due to low volume/low competition compare to consumer gasoline. It's not like you get airmiles with your other utilities anyway.

If you're a CAA member, the Sunoco/CAA deal may still be better, depending on what you use your Air Miles for;

$100 in Shell gas = 10 Air Miles with this promo. Those miles have a value of $.114 if you use them for more Shell gas, meaning your reward value for $100 is $1.14. If you use them for Shell car washes, it's actually a very good deal, as the value of a mile then is $.306, and your $100 in gas gets you a $3.06 value.

With the CAA card at Sunoco, as long as you spend over $1200/year, you get 2% back, so $100 of gas there is worth $2.

Just something to consider when deciding where to fill up.

2% back in what? cash?

Sorry, I should have added more info. When you use your CAA card at Sunoco, and spend more than $1200 in a year, they give you 2% of all gas purchases as a credit towards your membership dues.

I can cover my annual dues just by buying gas at Sunoco.

If you really want to look for high reward, buy Canadian gift card and get weekly CT gas coupon multiplier from the flyer or stores. For $100 gas, you can easily get $5 CT money (with the worst multiplier). If you can get discounted CT gift card, it will even be better.

True, that is better, but there is no CT gas bar convienent to me. Lot's of Sunoco's, though!

Not quite my friend. I am upset because they said they were going to go through with the airmiles once they updated or whatever their system which was a blatant lie as they had no intentions of dealiing with the airmiles for home heating oil anyway. There was no offer of any written guarantee. I can't be bothered with a company that tells yyou one thing and simply has no intention of following through. Its a matter of "telling the customer what they want to hear" in order to get the business. I can do without! A year later and still no airmiles. If it is a fact as one other poster said, there are no airmiles on such a purchase, well then just say so. I would have probably still got the oil from them.

Yes, I live in the west too on the island. I had Teresen Gas in the Okanagan and I will never have gas again. Dangerous and highly expensive. For a waste product, those people charge whatever they want. My home heating oil is paid for upfront so there are no surprises.

i would give the edge to the caa/sunoco deal only b/c the rewards you get lowers your annual caa membership fee. with the ct money you still have to buy something from ct to use it.

The title of the thread "Shell Easy pay key.. free air miles." is misleading. There is no "free" air miles. You have to buy something, in fact 5 transactions of at least $20 each, to get 5 BONUS air miles. The title should say "bonus".

Let me explain it to YOU! After a year they still do not have the airmiles program is my point.

Does anyone know if you get "bonus" airmiles when you use easypay? I usually get coupons in the mail from airmiles and they offer bonus airmiles, for example, double airmiles or 2 bonus airmiles. I know for national promotions easypay automatically gives them to you, but what about these coupons?

You get the bonus airmiles automatically without having to deal with the coupons. Not that the number of miles I get from Shell amount to that much anyway, but I've been using easy pay for a long time and I always have regular and bonus miles on my airmiles statements.

I was just about to sign up, until I noticed this....Shell easyPAY locations can be found in 10 major markets across the country: Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, London, Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal and Québec City. For the participating locations nearest you, please see the list below:

* British Columbia
* Alberta
* Saskatchewan
* Manitoba
* Ontario
* Québec

The number of Shell locations with easyPAY is increasing all the time and new locations will regularly being updated on this website. This list represents the Shell easyPAY locations available at this time. http://www.shell.ca/home/Framework?siteId=ca-en&FC2=/ca-en/html/iwgen/shell_for_motorists/cards/easypay/locations/zzz_lhn.html&FC3=/ca-en/html/iwgen/shell_for_motorists/cards/easypay/locations/ep_locns.html

For the time being at least, this deal is no good for us Atlantic Canadians...

I should add that I signed up for this anyways, as the 15 bonus air miles are worth a $5 value to me (because I cash them in for car washes whenever I hit 75 in my account).

It's kinda the same deal with sunoco, not everyone needs CAA (mine is covered by my credit card) so the CT deal wouldn't be bad because you can use the coupons to get more gas!

I think this is a great promo, just signed up actually. Since I use Shell anyways and end up scanning both my airmiles and credit card in the freezing cold, it seems like a good idea so I can just scan my key chain instead. I seem to find that the Sunoco is usually higher in price for gas in my area, I usually fill up at the shell on finch and Victoria Park its usually not bad in price since it is across from a Petro Canada where they both usually compete for price often.

I have the CAA membership... however I kinda feel lazy using it at sunoco since the rewards are just sooo limited maybe they should expand like petro canada. Maybe if we can use those CAA $$ for movie passes I'd use it more.
