Default New Optimax Cards
Yes. They're back...

Is it worth it?

Does anyone ever win these things?

I've never heard of anyone winning.

Shell "spend & collect" cards.

Shell did a promotion for Optimax. When you bought Optimax petrol You got a card with a car make and a wheel type for a different make of car, if you got a match on a subsequent card you won that car. There was a collective done on this site last time. The cars were:

Chrysler Crapfire (named after the 'arched backed squatting dog taking a poo' look) although saw one in the flesh and actually not too bad looking
SLK
BMW
Audi TT
Merc C class
Plus some other sportyish cars - none as good as the S mind. If you won you'd flog it straight away.

Hard to fault if you're only going to get fuel when you would otherwise have needed it anyway, regardless of how unlikely you are to win

We can't all be feckless wasters like you, Letch!

Seriously, there HAS to be a chance of winning, otherwise the promotion would get jumped on very quickly by the ASA, trading standards et al.

You never know, it really COULD be you!

(It would be just my luck to win a ing TT! )
