: [vpFREE] Fuel Savings?

 

I didn't take offense, Harry. 
 
<<The value is relatively nominal (though far from insignificant). >>
 
However, to some people, $10 a month is nominal AND insignificant if it involves much attention to details.

Jean,

I should apologize for my statement of, "You still gonna tell me you're going to pass up ... ?" challenge.  It was a little over the top.

Early on in this thread I admitted I could grasp why someone might pass on this benefit:  The value is relatively nominal (though far from insignificant).  And, for some, Shell stations aren't readily accessible.

However, it was important for me to clarify that for those interested in the benefit, the only real hassle involved may be going out of your way to fuel up at a Shell station.  (Of course, it's been made clear that getting one's hands around the facts of the program is a one-time hurdle in itself ;)

In any case, Jean, I trust that my intent wasn't misconstrued or seen intended as a personal swipe ...

- H.

Several reasons we don't/won't do this:  Shell gas is usually more expensive than other brands.  We don't play consistently at a Harrah's property 5 times a month.  So we couldn't max out the program savings.

Yep – that is what I am telling you -  we are at the point in our life where I am trying to simplify. Even if we could do the $20 savings every other month (which we can't do) that is not a big enough amount to pay for my time and effort to keep track of everything and then instruct Brad when to go to Shell.
 
And this is my last post of this subject – it is giving me a headache!!!!   I am 74 and Brad is 81 – we have been frugal our whole life and thus accumulated a lot of money.  Now we want to peacefully spend it and not concern ourselves with extreme nickel/dime issues.
