When we think about our monthly spending, we frequently find ourselves striving to make better financial decisions in order to better manage our money. We persuade ourselves that the only way to save money is to limit unnecessary purchases such as cutting down on meal deliveries and impulsive buys. Our needs, like food, rent, and petrol take up a big chunk of our hard-earned money and because it’s a necessity, there is not much room for compromise and flexibility.
Before e-wallets became prevalent, reward programs and couponing were common practices that helped people save money. One such reward program that is familiar to many Malaysians is BonusLink. Available at Shell and a number of other outlets, BonusLink’s signature blue card gives members the opportunity to redeem a wide range of enjoyable gifts for themselves and their loved ones.
If you want to learn how you could make refuelling your vehicle and spending at Shell a more rewarding and wallet-friendly experience, read on.
Collecting points with BonusLink gives you the opportunity to redeem a variety of items, one of which is Shell cash vouchers. As the voucher entitles users to a discount, it is indeed a great saving solution that helps to save money.
From now until 31 December 2021, 200 standard BonusLink Points accumulated within one (1) month will get you an RM5 Shell voucher. How does one collect 200 standard BonusLink Points in a month, you may wonder. You could refuel your car with 100L (25L per week) and treat your friends and family to 10 cups of Costa Coffee while going on a road trip with family. Alternatively, you could also purchase a bottle of Shell Advance lubricant and spend RM50 in-store at Shell Select.
That’s right – you could collect points with any purchase made at Shell from fuel, Shell Advance lubricants, Costa Coffee, Deli2go pastries, chips, toothpaste, phone chargers – you name it! And the good thing is Shell Select has a wide variety of products offered from necessities like motor essentials to non-essential items like kids’ toys. For every RM1 spent at Shell Select, users are entitled to 1 point.
So the next time you find yourself at Shell, just remember to tap your card when you make a transaction so your points are recorded.
There are approximately 950 Shell stations in Malaysia alone, so it’s very likely that you’ll come across a station each time you’re on the road. Not just that, collecting points has become much easier compared to a decade ago with the introduction of the BLINK app!
BLINK makes using BonusLink a painless experience that allows biometric login, reward transfer, cashless transactions, instant cashback, and more, all with just a one-step registration. Users will get to digitally access their virtual card, which means if you don’t have your physical card with you, all you need to do is flash your in-app virtual card. The app also allows users to be more aware of their spending with the ability to track daily transactions.
To get RM4 Shell voucher AND 100 BonusLink points, simply follow the following steps:

While we still need to prioritise spending on our needs, utilising methods that can lessen our monthly expenses could help in keeping us financially healthy. Part and parcel of maintaining a car is to keep it filled with petrol, whether we like it or not. However, collecting BonusLink points at Shell gives us the opportunity to spend less on refuelling through the redemption of Shell vouchers.
