Ok, here is how the gas certificate works, we buy the certificate, for $14 and give the consumer $100.00 certificate. That consumer then has to go to a website to redeem the certificate, the site provides all the information, and what the consumer needs to do to get a $25 gift card from Shell. The consumer has to make the initial gas purchase, and submit the receipt with the certificate information provided at the website. Shell then sends a $25 certificate, every month, until the $100 has been used, as long as every month the consumer submits a receipt that he purchased gas at a shell station, Shell keeps sending gas cards every month. (I used Shell as an example)
The point is it to have you buy gas at one brand of gas station, and get you into that habit so you won't drive to the other branded gas station, to save a few pennies.
It seams complicated to me, but I'm sure that people who cut coupons would be willing to do it.
I've requested more information; don't know if I should risk blowing $500.00 to see this through. It would be a good gift, to give to someone.
