Pennzoil Pennzoil: Get a FREE $25 Gift Card with Pennzoil Platinum Motor Oil Get a FREE $25 Gift Card with Pennzoil Motor Oil!

It just looks like a variation of the previous hotel offering. That probably was probably not popular and so they're getting cagey and trying to avoid spelling it out.

Pass.

If they don't bring back the straight $10 rebate I'll switch to Costco oil. Lots of competition out there.

All oil products are going up because petroleum has jumped.

I paid $27.89 for the 5L jugs of 0W20 Pennzoil Ultra in Nov 2020. Now CT wants $34.99 for the same jug. And back then I got that $10 rebate so it actually cost me $17.89 for that jug.

Now Pennzoil has some flaky rebate that they're too embarrassed to give the details on so as far as I'm concerned at the moment I would be paying $34.99 for a jug when I can buy the Costco for $22.50 (and yes I realize the Costco is a slightly smaller jug at 4.73L )

Yes Costco oil might not be as good as the Pennzoil Ultra but if I look at standard Pennzoil synthetic it's on sale for $31.99 which is still way above the Costco at $22.50. And that's the regular Costco price. It could go lower on a warehouse sale whereas Pennzoil is already at their sale price.

Now, if that Pennzoil $25 digital gift card was actually worth something to me then that would be a game changer but somehow I suspect it's not.

Here's a question, what is the gift card for??? LOL. Or is it just like Visa/MC GC where you can use it for anything...that accepts it?

The interesting part is the gift cards are stated to not expire which is unlike pretty much any other promotion/rebate I've seen before--not bad.

Now the only thing is, when/where is the next good sale? At least this runs until October and not a few wks like earlier ones, so there should be the chance of a good sale to take advantage of it.


Yeah exactly...the price of gas in November 2020 was somewhere around $1.00/L according to GasBuddy historical data; now it's $1.60/L It's hard to believe a year and a half ago gas was that much cheaper. At least motor oil hasn't gone up by 60%.


Yeah and Walmart's reg. price for what is widely said to be the same oil, is $19.50...but it used to be $17.50 not that long ago, and commonly $15 on sale. Also comes in various grades unlike typical Costblo's "two kinds, that's more than enough and if you don't like it leave" bit.


I'm confused as to what the GC is for as well. If it's just like Visa/MC debit or whatever, that's not bad at all esp. considering it doesn't expire. I'm not sure what else it would be though--Pennzoil (Canada) doesn't seem to have an online store, so it can't be for them/more oil...? There's the possibility it could be for Shell but how would one use a digital GC at a gas station?

Finally got the redemption email.
