How to redeem stuffs from Mesra card?

I found out that MyMesra page is kind of useless. No product redemption catalogue.

I use Bonuslink when I have no choice but to go to Shell, but I don't know how the points are awarded. Anyone care to explain in detail about the returns we get from Bonus Link.

For Shell with Bonuslink:

http://www.bonuslink.com.my/participant/pa...ils.asp?id=0001

Points Structure
1L Shell fuels = 1 Point
25% Bonus Points with Shell V-Power Racing

Bonus Points Chart
Monthly Purchase (litre) | Bonus Points
>500 | 150
251 - 500 | 75
125 - 250 | 25

RM1 = 1 Point (for all lubricants)

First time going to Shell and tried paying using CC with bonuslink card with these steps:

1. Insert bonuslink card at the slot. Green indicator light appears.
2. Remove bonuslink card when the indicator light dissappers.
3. Insert CC and card will be processed and then remove Cc.
4. Start pumping and collect receipt thereafter.

Q1. Is this the correct way so that my bonuslink card is read properly ie. able to get the points?
Q2. Is it possible to key in how much in RM that I wanna pump? I tried pressing the numeric keys after Step 3, but nothing is displayed on the screen.

No station attendant on site, thus unable to seek assistance. Anyone can help? Thanks

If the Bonuslink is not swiped properly, it won't ask you to insert CC if I'm not mistaken. However, the point system is not updated instantly like Mesra card. Even their online system takes ages to get it updated.

I also plan to use the cc in Shell, but I do not have a bonuslink card. Is it necessary that the first step must always be the bonuslink card? If it's just the credit card, should be fine, I guess?

As Human Nature puts it, I would also like to know if we can preset the amount of petrol that I want to pump.u  smile.gif

Thank you  smile.gif

The menu will ask you to put either Bonuslink or CC. If you don't have Bonuslink, skip that and directly slot in your CC.

Smiles card gives better deal in term of petrol refilling: RM 1 fuel == 1 point

Mesra and Bonuslink (ordinary fuel) only gives 1 litre = 1 point

Not sure Star card from Caltex.

I have some remark for Melaka Esso/Mobil,

Most of the Stations in Melaka town are not ready for Outside Card Machine, mean also cannot use Amex.

Mostly I use only 2 Stations, 1st is Near Melaka Mall & 2nd will be near Melaka Sental.

Others not discover yet.
*
What do you mean by Outside Card Machine? Self service kiosk?

PBB Now is offering again 8% for 4 months.. very fake la they all... Esso also..Really "Smart", where "WE ARE DRIVERS too, we know you wanna MORE rebates on top of our luxurious 1.5% Rebates >.<"

and get RM20 as well for new customers after spending of RM400

BUT, Luckily current owners can still enjoy 8% *Highest TIER*, where it will be quite good for high fuel spenders, capped at RM80 Per month... smile.gif

PUMP ESSO now hahahaha~

I saw the banner promoting this 8% rebate by using PBB CC at almost every Esso station I have visited.

I believe it's a matter of time on how fast the amount is being released upon processing.

How to redeem Mesra points? Need to do it at the counter? Is there any min points required for redemption like Esso which states 1000 points for RM 15 fuel?

You can redeem it at the pump for petrol but i never try it. Usually I redeem at the counter, once for RM4.xx fuel as i wanna finish off the points..no problem
*
I also want to clear the points. I got 600+ only.

Do it by ourselves at the kiosk/pump?
