Our Verdict
Feel free to give away or trade your freebies/discounts in the comments below. Please do not ask for freebies, if somebody has something to give away they will offer it. Remember, every week you get 10 cents off at Shell.
For frequent Shell users (like myself), this new deal is not $0.10, it is -$0.05. I always get Shell Gold $0.05.
For infrequent Shell users, this new deal is -$0.03.
Yeah, its shitty, but I didn’t expect it to last forever. Initially the Shell benefit was like once a month, if that. Then in 2020 they made is a weekly thing, which was awesome. But they have to front that cost and there are some drivers who definitely fill 20 gal per week, every week (uber drivers, truck drivers, etc.). It is just a very expensive proposition for T-Mobile.
T-Mobile has 100,000,000+ subscribers. Now of course all 100m arent using this benefit. Just look at this map of US shell stations: https://www.scrapehero.com/store/wp-content/uploads/maps/Shell_USA.png. I am quick to say that this covers 50% of the US population, but trust me, New Jersey is not as full of Shell stations as this map implies, especially South Jersey. This applies to any metro area. I’m in NoVA, and there are plenty of Shell stations, but in some cases I don’t think some people would drive the extra 10 minutes to go there. So I would say that Shell stations, when considering regular commuters, covers maybe…33% of US population. I will assume T-Mobile customers are evenly spread across the US. So I’d say that only approximately 33mil customers might actually consider using this benefit. Multiply this by 91%, which is the percent of households with access to a car, and we are down to 30m. I don’t even think that 25% of T-Mobile customers use T-Mobile tuesdays. On my plan we have 7 people. Of those 7, only really 3 use it religiously. 30m now becomes 7.5m. 5-7m sounds about right for the number of people using T-Mobile Tuesdays.
Now are all 7.5m pulling 20gal/week? Hell no. I would put the average over time as 7-8 gallons/week. I put 13 gal in sometimes with my SUV, but that car gets filled once every other week. My Sedan takes usually 6-7 gallons, every other week.
$0.10/user * 7 gal/week * 52 weeks/yr * 7.5m users = $273,000,000/yr
That’s a huge chunk of change to be giving away each year. At $0.05/user that drops to $136m.
The Shell discount hasn’t been worth it in my travels… between few Shell stations, and those that are left are charging more for their fuel, sometimes with a BP or other major right across the intersection.
Keep in mind also that Shell likes this advertising, so T-Mobile likely isn’t paying the full amount of that discount.
Redbox 1 night disc rental: GUM4R4VC
GoPuff free chocolate + delivery: z-tmbl3-34urw772
Tried the GoPuff code on my existing account that used last week’s T-Mobile code. I got “is not a valid code.” Maybe someone else used it already?
Thanks anyway!!
redbox: JRNHE4YJ
I really wish those that use the codes would post they used the codes(for Shell). I just entered 5 codes and all were used. 🙁
It’s lurkers that just come for freebies. Sorry.

The offer expired too fast to redeem
Anyone know if the Sam’s Club membership for $15 stacks with an existing membership? Like does it extend a current membership?
no its for new members only same deal Sams offers and Groupon catch is 6 months to open new from former membership – Groupon is far better if you get the scan and go and gift card it pays for self I have not gotten my yet 6 weeks from 1st purchase using scan app . this is good deal if you need a membership
