Clicks and Shell’s rewards partnership comes to an end, social media reacts

Major retailer, Clicks, announced on Monday that their rewards programme partnership with Shell service stations would be coming to an end on 30 November 2019.

Neither party listed a reason for this development, however, when quizzed about it by various social media users on Twitter, Clicks simply said “kindly be advised that we review our partnerships from time to time.”

Hi Nomsa thanks for getting in touch with us. Kindly be advised that we review our partnerships from time to time. Please continue to earn Shell points on fuel until Saturday 30 Nov ’19.

Although Clicks Club card holders will still earn points up until 30 November if they swipe their cards along with their fuel purchases, many of them still inundated Clicks with tweets and comments regarding their feelings about the announcement.

Guys Clicks club card points are the only ones that matter and they're pulling out of their deal with Shell 💔

That's how we get most of our points.
