I just use the mesra points for petrols.

Just walk to the counter and ask the cashier to check how many points or how much (in ringgit) are stored inside your card. If you want to use them for petrol, just tell them so.

ah yes, that too

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

Petronas's kiosk is more user friendly is the sense that the card will be 'auto-kicked' from them slot indicating that it has been read properly.

Can anyone gives some examples of Petronas station (specific location) that does not accept Amex for swipe? I am gathering some info for feedback.

Last time caltex also give bottled water, but not anymore..

Got a scare just now. I discovered my Available Limit has RM150 less than my actual expenditure. So I contacted OCBC to verify all my transactions and found no discrepancies. Later the SC informed me that it is a common practice for petrol stations to mark up the bill to RM200 first before claiming the actual amount. I pumped RM50 today, so the number tallys.

Phew! Just an info for the rest..i am damn noobie

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

You can do it at the pump, never try it though. I usually walk inside the store and speak to the cashier

Eh, i thought they offered 11000 points for GST, is 3-swipes a requirement too?

Choice Points are points gained using Standard Chartered cards

Please limit non-cards related discussion here, e.g. types or benefits of certain petrols

The shell at my area always claim that the CC system rosak on most sundays. Anyone knows why?

petronas allows that

Yupe, OCBC Ti gives 5% for all petrol transactions with RM50 cap.

one correction, shell only prints out the last 3 digits. one strange thing is, i have seen a shell receipt (left at the pump) that prints out the full name of the card holder (not mine) but never for mine, not even surname.

he is refering to the smiles point

Depends on the card, some at the end of the month, some according to statement date. Please read the details or T&C to know more about the cards.
