@dongdong, that shouldn’t be. SPC’s own website still list the DBS/POSB 5% discount and everyday card 3% rebate. What happen when u pumped yesterday? Some miscommunication between you and the cashier?

Top up @ spc yesterday. No more DBS/POSB 5% discount. Only 10% SPC card. Think Everyday card rebate also dropped to 2% now.

@Eric, it is only becos of the shell points that the $3 voucher ended up as a better deal (18.63%) compared to SPC (17.55%). If ignore the shell points, then effective discount at shell for every $40 is only 16.88%, which means SPC deal is better. That’s why its a close fight. Forumers should decide for themselves if the shell points are worth it, cos’ minimum to redeem fuel is 600pts for $20. At 1 pt per litre of fuel, it might take a while to reach 600pts.

@Desmond, agreed. The shell 15% voucher at simpang and kembangan is the best now. With platinum card, effective discount is 19.25% (excluding points)! But only applicable at the 2 stations in the east, so a bit out of the way for quite a lot of bro/sis here. The SPC and Shell $3 voucher deal is applicable island-wide, so i just compare apple to apple lor.

Vid & kennethoka, spot on bros.

(1-0.1-0.05)*(1-0.03)=0.8245 = 82.45%
so it is 17.55% discount

nice algorithm!

The 3% rebate is calculated after discount of 15%.

hey red Fto:

why 10%(station) + 5%(POSB/DBS cards) + 3%(everyday card rebate), which works out to be around 17.55% effective discount.

not 18%…where the missing 0.45% gone to?
