I've had any offers since November. Mind you my Shell app says I have an offer occasionally - but when I click though its not there.
Anyone else getting offers?

Yes I get offers regularly. It used to be one a week, though the latest covers a 2 week period.

Changes to collecting Avios with Shell Drivers' Club
Changes to our fuel collection partnership
Dear [Globaliser],
As a British Airways Executive Club Member that has previously converted Shell Drivers’ Club points to Avios, we are writing to inform you that from 30 June 2019 you will no longer be able to convert your points to Avios on fuel via the Shell Drivers’ Club.
Your membership with the British Airways Executive Club remains unaffected by this change. All Avios converted from your Shell Drivers’ Club will remain in your British Airways Executive Club account and will remain active, according to the Executive Club Terms and Conditions. Find out more here
The good news is that you can continue to collect Avios on your fuel purchases at Tesco, through our Tesco Clubcard partnership. Scan your Tesco Clubcard when filling up at any of the 500+ Tesco petrol stations across the UK and you’ll earn 600 Avios for every £2.50 in vouchers you exchange. To make it even easier you can set up your Clubcard vouchers to exchange to Avios automatically. Simply log in to your 'My Clubcard Account' to change your preferences.

A reminder that as of today, buying petrol from Shell is no longer a route for earning Avios.
Shell's email last week said:-

I happened to notice that my last batch of Avios from Shell dropped into my BAEC account a few days ago.
Ah, the end of a beautiful-albeit-not-very-lucrative relationship.

Sadly another demise of an Avios earning avenue.

None of my Avios from Shell have posted this year, as far as I can see. Had emails saying I earned xxx and they're on their way, but nothing.
No issues in the past, and I'm losing out on the 40% Tesco bonus as well.
No intention of using Shell again unless there's no other choice or they're more convenient to me.

My last transfer posted in early Sept back-dated to 30 June (date I purchased fuel) but was only for 30 Avios despite the final email from Shell stating that I'd earned 37 Avios. I missed out on a fair few Avios because I didn't realise until earlier this year Shell was an Avios earning partner. I've also not received any bonus from Tesco despite buying fuel there for years :-(

Checked my BAEC account and the last transaction there, under MISC, is for 30 Avios back in 2017.
No idea where they've been going then as I had quartertly emails, the last one for 300+ after a promo earlier this year.
The Shell website just says the scheme is now closed so you can't access anything.
