Now, to take advantage of the promotion, you pretty much have to meet the following requirements:
1) Have a substantial amount of Air Miles Cash Miles (at least 475, but the more, the better)
2) Be willing to only fill $10 of gas at a time
3) Have a Shell station located on your commute (else waste too much fuel to make it worthwhile)
4) Convert 100% of your Air Miles to Cash Miles.
I tried this out today and it worked. Spent 95 Air Miles Cash Miles on $10 worth of gas and got 20 bonus Air Miles (also stacked with a coupon to reduce the cost per litre).
Breakdown is:
- $0 real money spent
- 20 Air Miles back for every 95 Air Miles Cash Miles spent (technically 21% of Air Miles back, but if you only have 475 Cash Miles, it's basically get $60 of gas for $50 worth of Cash Miles, so an 18.3% savings)
