Our Verdict
You might need to register for a new Fuel Rewards account using the Groupon link you’ll get in an email. Won’t work for existing FRN members.
Either way, it’s at least one $5 credit toward a Shell fill-up (assuming you can use 20 gallons) which an okay bonus for signing up if it’s a program you’ll be able to take advantage of. You can also earn FR credit by shopping at many groceries. And Fuel Rewards now combines with Stop&shop/Giant points as well. T-mobile also offers 25¢ credits some Tuesdays.
Hat tip to Dansdeals
I must be missing something. I have went to Shell stations many times and I thought it was widely known that you could always get $0.25/gal off for a new rewards account? Then pair that with the +”whatever” to your existing email to mock a new account etc etc????
25 cents a gallon seems a lot, but not if it is just for 10 gallons 🙁
10 gallons? The cap is 20 gallons. If the problem is your tank size, I’ve seen two workarounds. Two couples from my office take care of both their vehicles at the same time when redeeming as a workaround. My solution is to put the remainder of the discounted gas in a gas can for either the lawnmower or to top off my car when there is more room in the tank.
if you click through to groupon from ibotta this counts as a purchase. Though earn is $0 counts for the $5 appy online bonus
Can u still take the advantage if pay with gc?
You can you use gift cards with the Fuel Rewards program. I’ve used both Shell gift cards and Circle K (at locations that had Shell gas). You enter rewards information first, then select credit
before swiping the gift card. The timeout window is a little shorter than I prefer, so have your cards ready to go at once or else it could forget your rewards information and you will have to restart.
Actually, I think groupon is providing an alternative of referring
I accepted the offer. Nearby, under “Other Offers”, I saw a Dunkin Donuts listing for 100% cashback up to $3 at no cost. Grabbed that one as well. Even if you don’t need the fuel check to see if you have this one in your Groupon offers.
Thanks Ed, posted that now
That’s twice as many gallons as I need to fill my gas-sipping Corolla’s tank, so I’ll leave this one for those who can use it more.
If you live near a Publix, you could stack this with their “$50 gas card for $40” deal (with $50 grocery purchase) that comes around about once a month. They sell Shell cards.
New account only really makes this not sweet as you cannot stack up on rewards by applying multiple codes to one existing account. I tried it and was told the code is invalid.
Yeah, when I initially posted I didn’t realize it was new accounts only. Probably wouldn’t have posted had I realized, to be honest.
You can just make a new account with a fake number. I already have an account and I signed up for another by changing the last digit of my phone. No verification, all I need to do is put in that fake number when I fuel up later this week.
