Has anyone seen these? I got one this morning, scratched it off and it says I have won "Any Mars Pouch, £1.40"
Now I wouuld have assumed I had won a bag of Minsterals/Malteasers etc. but no after reading into it I have won a bag at the price of £1.40.. What a joke 
So I've won the oppertunity to buy something I originally had no intention to buy in the first place but at a slightly reduced price.. Thats more like an insult than a prize

I noticed that, you've won a bag for the price it costs in the shop.
I won a tenner fuel though which cheered me up after that.

They might as well not bother with the 'discount' prizes just have "Nothing" if you dont win free fuel lol 
I would imagine that the "free" fuel is maybe being slightly subsidised by Mars etc.

There was even a catch to that, I can't use it with my shell credit card.

I got a pack of Trebor for 35p. I suspect it costs about that anyway.

From the way I read the back of the card they are offering it to you at the normal price.

I suppose the chances of a generous fuel company are about as good as the chances of finding an honest politician.

I laughed at the cheek of it. What would have been better was to get a free bag/bottle/bar/roll with your next fill up over £30's worth of fuel. It costs next to nothing and you get more return business as I imagine 90% of people just stop at a petrol station and don't care which one!
