Our Verdict
We saw the same offer earlier in the year but it required $30 in spend instead of $25. As always make sure to compare gas prices, but this should be a big enough discount to make it worth it.

Google Pay works fine with this offer, credited a day after the purchase. Thanks !
anyone use PayPal for this offer? My transaction was posted 5 days ago and still no credit. Obviously no email. Not sure if I should wait (since term said 90 days) or contact Amex now to check on the offer’s eligibility.
Wait 90 days seem dumb since if PayPal not trigger I can have time to use GPay to trigger it
I used paypal 9/20/20. No email, no credit. Thinking of attempting again with apple pay.
I did Apple Pay on 1 OCT. Have yet to receive either a credit or an email.
I also tried again on 15 OCT. Have yet to receive an email or credit still.
UPDATE:
I got the $10 credit for my 15 OCT purchase. It shows up in the
Savingstab underAmex Offers & Benefits.I did not receive any emails.
Paypal doesn’t work (avoid it unless you want to fight for credit) — use Apple Pay or Google Pay or Samsung Pay
android version shell app won’t allow me to add a cc directly, but has to be through samsung pay, google pay , chase pay, or paypal
I used samsung pay, no emails
used with Apple Pay from shell app on 9/27. barely cross $25 with $25.06. No email. $10 credit posted on 9/29. BTW, somehow it triggered shell mobile offer which is 25c off per gal. So next time it will be harder to reach $25…
I like how they didn’t bother to remove their boilerplate third party language:
“Offer valid for automotive gas purchases made in-app with a qualifying digital wallet via the Shell App.”
And yet:
“In addition, in most cases, you may not receive the statement credit if your transaction is made through a third party or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it.”
Well how the hell do they think Apple Pay works?
Had same question.. did not get email after I used to pay using Apple Pay thru shell app
I got the credit after using Apple Pay but it took 2-3 days…and never did receive an email.
Thanks! I did the same thing and used Apple Pay in the Shell app and selected my AmEx card. Was wondering why I didn’t get an email right away. I’ll wait another day or two; still haven’t received credit for the offer yet. 🙁
Don’t have Apple Pay so I used Paypal via the app. There is a line in the T&C that says “Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 12/13/2020” so I’m going to be patient. I’d like for it to arrive sooner especially if other people are reporting they’re receiving their credits already but if it doesn’t come Amex does have some time.
AMEX offers used to be almost instant after post. Waiting till DEC is a long time
Update: After waiting a month, I called in and CS rep said they see the purchase on my account and the offer. They are manually crediting my account the $10 credit within 48hrs.

these offers aren’t fair to fuel efficient car owners. on the other hand, i’m lucky enough to fill up my tank for less than $13.
Gas cans
I’ve thought of that, and I’ve also thought about a fire starting in my car or house, or it spilling in my home. 🙁
Are you riding a scooter ? Who has a 5-gallon gas tank ?
Never used the shell app before. can we use shell app in a gas station which is not self serve?
No Shell for me, about the only gas station I could put $25 in an almost empty tank since it’s so much more expensive than Mobil.
Gasbuddy and/or a T Mobile Tuesday discount helps
It was in my account this morning when I check it on my phone app, but now it disappeared…. Any one experience this?
The offer terms start by saying: “Enrollment limited”. The last time this was offered earlier in the year, the offer disappeared on the first day as well. I saw the offer 3-something this morning and could’ve sworn I added it to my BCP that had zero offers added to it. I just looked and a different offer must’ve gotten added to it and the Shell offer is no longer available on any of my cards (it had shown on all cards this morning). The same thing happened earlier this year with Staples 10% back business offer being pulled early.
I am not sure it is the limit being met. I have a couple of occasions that the disappeared offer come back again. The recent case is the marriott offer. By the way, people are still seeing the offers based on the comments. Not sure how Amex handles it at the back end though
Got the offer on Amex BBP.
went to apple aps store on iphone.
downloaded the Shell app
clicked ‘Register”
clicked register with fuel rewards settings
entered fuel rewards log on info
received confirm email and clicked confirm in email – did not seem to work but actually did
went back to Shell app and logged in
set up apple pay with Amex BBP card in iphone settings under apple pay
All done!
Haha, yup, this whole sign up/enrollment flow was total PIA.
