The 'Win a Trip with Shell' Contest is currently ongoing from the 17th of December 2018 to 31st March 2019. This unique contest by Shell Malaysia will reward its participants on a weekly basis where one weekly winner and their person of choice will be rewarded with a holiday package to either Italy, New Zealand or South Korea. All one needs to do is just need to spend a minimum of RM40 at Shell retail stations nationwide to be eligible to participate in the Win a Trip with Shell contest. To prove a point, Shell Malaysia just announced its first winner, at the official launch of the contest yesterday.
The Win a Trip with Shell contest is aimed at turning customers’ everyday journeys at Shell into rewarding experiences. According to the folks at Shell Malaysia, Malaysians are known for their love to travel and are willing travel even though the cost may be a little high. An Expedia study revealed that Malaysians travel frequently despite being cost conscious people in general. This essentially inspired the Win a Trip with Shell contest, which gives Shell customers an opportunity to be rewarded with the trip of a lifetime when they visit a Shell station, either to refuel or to purchase selected products sold within the Shell Kedai and Shell Select store(s) during the promotion period stated above.
How does one get to participate in the Win a Trip with Shell Contest? It basically takes RM40 worth of spending at a Shell Station.
There are three easy steps to participate in this contest:
(1) Customers need to spend a minimum of RM40 at Shell retail stations nationwide;
(2) choose one of the destinations from Italy, New Zealand or South Korea in the contest form; and
(3) submit the form with valid and eligible receipt(s) to stand a chance to win a holiday package.
However, take note folks... Customers can purchase any of the following products: Shell fuels, Shell Lubricants, or any products sold within Shell Select & Kedai premises (not including tobacco products, E-Pay products and Touch N Go purchases).
Shairan Huzani Husain, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd and Shell Timur Sdn Bhd (above left, together with the first winner of the contest, Wan Muhammad Fathi bin Wan Nik Kamal) said, “Customers are our priority here at Shell and we aim to make life’s journeys better for all. We recognise Malaysians’ love for gaining new experiences through travelling and from that, we derived the Win a Trip with Shell contest as a way for us to turn everyday journeys into a memorable and rewarding experience that our customers can look forward to this new year.”
“This contest, along with the many offerings, from fuels to Shell Select enable us to reward our customers and give them more reasons to return to our stations. Now, they also stand a chance to win a dream vacation when they visit and spend at Shell. This is in line with our aim to become a one-stop destination for our customers and help them leave our stations happier than when they arrived,” added Shairan.
As stated, the first winner has been found. Mr. Wan Muhammad Fathi Bin Wan Nik Kamal was announced as the first winner of the contest. The 35-year-old administrative assistant working in Kuala Lumpur and originally from Kedah has chosen New Zealand as his dream destination.
“I have always dreamt of traveling overseas and to have New Zealand as my first international destination is unbelievable! This win was unexpected, and I am thankful to Shell for this opportunity. I can’t think of a better way to start my 2019. All I had to do was to purchase, choose and win! As a Shell customer for all these years, I have enjoyed their products, services and hospitality. Winning this contest has certainly sweetened my journey with Shell,” said Wan Muhammad Fathi.
We spent some time chatting with Wan Muhammad and he also said he is looking forward to the trip as he as never been out of Malaysia. The trip is scheduled for sometime in September of this year and he still has not decided on who to bring with him. While he is married and would love to bring his spouse, he also has young children who need taking care of and the lady of the house has stated that she is willing to forgo the place beside Wan Muhammad to look after their children.
Wan Muhammad also chose New Zealand because he had heard from his younger brother who has visited the country that it is a destination worth visiting. We also mentioned to him that he can visit New Zealand and get to see some hobbits. Seriously, we told him to visit Hobbiton - the Hobbit village movie set of the Lord of the Rings. Aside from the other natural sights over there.
Anyway, there will be will be roadshows across the nation during the contest period. The roadshow will feature an interactive set-up to showcase the grand prizes. Customers who choose Italy can try a simulation of a F1 race (you can see part of it in the pic above), while those who opt for New Zealand can try a Haka chant. Fans of South Korea can attempt a dance-off to popular Korean pop music.
The roadshow locations are as follows:
Tesco Kepong in Kepong (11 – 13 January),
Sunway Pyramid in Subang Jaya (17 – 20 January),
East Coast Mall in Kuantan (31 January – 3 February),
KSL City Mall in Johor Bahru (15 – 17 February),
Queensbay Mall in Penang (21 – 24 February), and
Aeon Station 18 in Ipoh (26 February – 3 March).
