What do I do with points earned in Esso, Shell, Caltex?

Well, I received an email asking me for advice in this area.

I did my research and found the way to make the most out of your rewards points from different petrol brands.

The point system in Caltex is known as Thanks! and you earn 1 point for every litre of petrol, with no decimal point.

So what do I redeem with my Thanks! Points?

For Caltex, the best thing to redeem is Car Wash.

Every 220 Thanks! points earn you 1 car wash which is worth S$8.00, which works out to be about 1.81%, assuming petrol price is S$2.00.

Every 40 Thanks! points earn you S$1.00 off your petrol purchase, which works out to be about 1.25%

The point system in Shell is known as the Shell Escape and you earn 1 point for every litre of petrol, down to 1 decimal point. 1.2 point for every litre of Shell Vpower.

So what do I redeem with my Escape Points?

For Shell, the best thing to redeem is Car Wash.

Every 200 Escape points earn you 1 car wash worth S$8.00, which works out to be about 2%, assuming petrol price is S$2.00.

As you can see, Esso has the most superior rewards system if you would lke to redeem petrol with the points. Shell has the lousiest rewards system in comparison.

However, if you are ok with redeeming petrol or car wash with the points, then Caltex is the lousiest. Esso and Shell are on par.
