Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Shell 5 x 5,000 Contest! (Plus #Giveaway)

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a HUGE fan of rewards programs. It’s obvious, isn’t it?

1. Go about spending as you normally would.
2. Collect rewards.
3. Treat yourself to a splendid little surprise.

Of course, sometimes my husband and I disagree on what the little “surprise” should be. #rollseyes

Anyhoo, it brings me great pleasure to share Shell’s 5 x 5,000 Contest with you. Shell is celebrating their role as the national sponsor of the New AIR MILES Cash program, which lets consumers decide how they want to redeem earned reward miles… including redeeming them for instant savings at Shell!

(My parents would be all over this one. They ALWAYS take their rewards in the form of gas savings, and it’s a well-known fact that Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines help clean and protect your engine from performance-robbing gunk.)

Each week from March 21 to April 24, 2012, one entrant will be randomly selected to win 5,000 AIR MILES rewards miles (five winners in total). Um… hello! 5,000 AIR MILES can go a long way – booking a much needed vacation, pampering yourself, or fueling up for an epic summer road trip. The possibilities are endless.

All you have to do is visit Shell’s 5 x 5,000 Contest on Facebook, fill out a simple entry form and include your AIR MILES Reward Miles Collector Account Number.

(Hint: the answer to the skill-testing question can be found here.)

Then, sit back and cross your fingers – and perhaps start thinking of how to spend those rewards miles if you win! Good luck everybody :)

WIN IT!!!

One lucky Listen to Lena reader will win a Shell Prepaid MasterCard loaded with $50 of Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines. To enter, simply fill the form below with your qualifying entries. Good luck every one!

    I like to spend it on vacations. Usually its enough for just part of the vacation – flights, or car rental.

    Actually with the increase on Monthly Bus Passes – one youth/adult – 133.00 per/month. I accumulate and redeem my points for Bus Passes. Anyway to save money and curb corners.

    Love me some AirMiles! After saving for quite a while I used a bunch of mine on a flight to Barbados :)

    I usually aim for gift cards or small household appliances. Points have saved me a number of times when I’ve had an appliance die.

    I haven’t really taken advantage of many reward miles I have – I have been trying to save up for ‘something good’! lol! :-) I HAVE used them for free gas in the past though..

  25. Leah S

    I like to use it to get something I would normally never treat myself to, some new not necessary appliance or household gadget

  39. Carla G

    The only time I’ve redeemed my reward miles was on a Kitchen Aid Mixer. Otherwise I’m just saving them. :)

  41. Cheryl Morreale (@loucheryl)

    My husband loves to redeem Air Miles for Shell Car Washes and I love to get Metro GC’s!

  42. Heather Palmer

    Just redeemed air miles a few days ago. Booked flights for me and my 3 kids to go visit some family :)

  43. Amy Menzies

    I like to get things that I need, but don’t want to spend money on. I just got myself a vacuum with our rewards.. better than I would have got if I’d had to pay myself.

  56. Nora

    I’ve never collected enough air miles to do anything really, but book a vacation possibly?

  57. Paula Schuck

    Hurray. Great contest. I use my rewards points all the time. Love rewards. Shoppers Drug Mart and Zellers are favorites. I used those for Nintendos, wii games and regular merchandise. Love them. Last month I got a $50 petro card reward.

    I always use my AirMiles for merchandise or magazine subscriptions. I’ve gotten an infant car seat, jumperoo, baby monitor, DSLR, espresso machine, Little Tikes playhouse, home phone, Le Creuset pans and more all through airmiles.

    I like to spend my reward miles on travel opportunities.

    Thanks for the great giveaway. ~Pauline

  76. It's OK to be WEIRD!

    We’ve used reward points for Christmas gifts and for buying gift cards. It’s SO nice! We’ve also done movie tickets, with a pop and popcorn. It makes a date night affordable! LOL!

    Thanks for the giveaway, Lena!

    I have yet to redeem any miles but hope to one day cash them in to travel to visit family.

    I have used my miles for flights (3 times), but usually I redeem for gift cards. Seems to be the way to get the most out of your miles.

  96. laura andrews

    I like spending my miles on gift cards & kitchen accessories. Saving up my miles for a trip to NYC too!

  98. Nancy T

    I haven’t redeemed any points yet – although I’m dreaming of a vacation away somewhere sunny! :)

    I redeem for gift cards for stores I normally shop at!

    Just a friendly warning to some people, but if you have an older car don’t use the Shell Nitrogen gas! Shell Nitrogen Enriched gas wrecked my ex-girlfriend’s car. It did what it said and removed the “gunk”, but since it was an older car (’93) the gunk was hardened to the metal and (I’m sorry, I’m not a car person so you’ll have to forgive me bad verbiage!) when it got ‘removed’ by the gas, it tore a hole in the metal! If you have an older car where the gunk is pretty hard, avoid it at all costs! :( I wish I was a car person so I could explain it better.
