Dunkin’ and Shell expand savings partnership in US
Share

Dunkin’ and fuel network Shell Oil Company have agreed to expand their partnership within the US to offer new savings to consumers.

The move launches the ‘Sip Dunkin’, Save at Shell’ partnership expanding the fuel rewards programme nationally.

It will enable fuel rewards members with Gold Status and DD Perks Rewards Program members save $0.10 per gallon with each fuel refill by purchasing five beverages at a Dunkin’ location.

It also includes a saving of $0.25 per gallon through a bonus one-time linking offer available until 30 April 2020.

The scheme is expected to run throughout the year.

Shell Oil Products US loyalty manager and North America CRM Todd Gulbransen said: “Shell is thrilled to expand our partnership with Dunkin’ beyond a successful north-east pilot to a national offering, allowing more consumers the ability to both enjoy their favourite Dunkin’ beverages and save when filling up their vehicle.

“This national expansion has been something Shell, Dunkin’ and the fuel rewards programme have been working on collaboratively, the teams are excited to offer consumers across the country the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of both loyalty programmes.”

Established in 1950, Dunkin’ is a coffee and baked goods chain operating around 13,000 restaurants in 41 countries.

Dunkin’ Brands Strategic Partnerships director Justin Unger said: “We are excited to continue to build the great partnership between our two brands throughout 2020 with the Sip Dunkin’, Save at Shell partnership, and deliver significant new rewards that fit so seamlessly into our on-the-go customers’ daily routines.”

In November last year, Dunkin’ signed agreements with Manchester Enterprises to develop 18 new restaurants throughout Houston in Texas, US.

If the 2% death rate was true then him dying was 50 to 1 unless your multiple strain idea holds. That has to be unlikely.

Those much larger figures supposedly only quickly shown on Tencent worry me.

Not to worry guys they will eventually come up with a pandemic flu strain that hits
one of the dna flu types, african, anglo european or asian

Never had a flu shot in my life.
Rather give hospitals/GPs a miss at the moment as well..

[essentialinvestor] 07/2/2020 14:32

Monty, thought the same. It may be something to do with repeated exposure
to the virus and if there is mutation at this point, he may have been
exposed to multiple strains. The very low rates outside of China may also
indicate it loses some strength on travelling. Hopefully that's the case.

It was worrying that the 34 year old Chinese doctor who raised the alarm, died, so not just the elderly.

I asked my GP for another one and offered to pay for it, but was
told needed to arrange myself. So went to Boots.

Shell pushes to power with plans for first big solar plant
Feb. 7, 2020 7:38 AM ET|About: Royal Dutch Shell plc (RDS.A)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor

Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A, RDS.B) says it plans to build its first utility-scale solar farm, in Australia's Queensland state, part of its global push into power generation.

The 400K-panel, 120 MW solar farm will indirectly supply the company's QGC liquefied natural gas export facility, reducing that project's carbon footprint; work on the project is set to finish in 2021.

The move follows Shell's acquisition last year of Australian industrial electricity retailer ERM Power and a stake in Australian solar developer ESCO Pacific.

HAVE MY FLU FREEBEE SHOT EVERY YEAR THESE DAYS

FLU AND GASTRO STILL ALOOTA ABOUT CHEZ NOUS

[essentialinvestor] 07/2/2020 14:02

Indeed, should be a lot clearer in a week's time whether this will be confined
to sparodic outbreaks outside of China, or something more serious.

I have asthma and paid for a pnumomia shot earlier this week,
it's been 15 years since my last one.

Could this also be a solution to the climate emergency?

Andy Dawson 7 Feb 2020 10:51AM

Actually, Ambrose, the maths points the opposite way - and I'd have though a finance guru could do some basic "rate of increase" calculations. Here's a log plot of cases and fatalities to date.

V Jones 7 Feb 2020 11:31AMI don't believe the figures, China would not shut down production unless they were far higher, this is a serious epidemic.  Caused by zero food hygiene standards and to many people crowded into cities. Maybe nature is fighting back.

Hi Mark, thanks, appreciated.


I think we are due some further equity market weakness, however that's a guess at best.

[supermarky] 07/2/2020 13:27

yep I am staying in cash for now

[waldron] 07/2/2020 13:23

Hello EI,to be honest I am looking at the long term charts here. I will start buying a few days after xd. It is my opinion the shares are oversold at the moment. will hold the shares for the dividend and wait for them to get near to top of range on long term chart and sell. Nice little opportunity here imo given the big fall. I had shell a few years ago when they plummeted. Bought in tranches and sold near highs. Important to llo at long term chart for shell I think!

If this goes on Coronavirus and oil does not improve above $58 and then stays there, I see 1775p after ex div. If it goes on even longer and demand waivers even more, I see back to 2017 level of 1475p. Of course only my view.
