Save up to $19 Off a Tank of Shell Gas Nationwide by Stacking these Deals
Contents
The Offer
There are currently a few deals going on which together can can get you a $.80 off per gallon at Shell, up to a maximum of 20 gallons.
- $.05 for signing up with Fuel Rewards Network
- $.25 back from a free Groupon (we wrote about this previously)
- $.25 for linking your FRN account and your Stopandshop account
- $.25 for linking your FRN account and your Giant Food account
- $.15 for linking a Mastercard to FRN
Here’s how to go about doing this deal:
- Buy the Groupon for free here or you can buy the same thing at Livingsocial
- Wait until it shows up in My Groupons, then click Redeem Online and create a new Fuel Rewards Network account
- You’ll now have $.30 in your FRN account: $.25 from the Groupon and $.05 just for signing up
- Open a new Stopandshop online account here
- After completing your login, the system will pop up with an option to link you FRN to your new Stopandshop account. Do that.
- About 3 minutes later, you’ll see your fuel balance (here) go up to $.55 due to the new $.25 you just got from the Stopandshop deal
- Now open a new Giant Foods online account here; you’ll need to use a different email address and phone number than used with Stopandshop since Giant and Stopandshop are partners (same address is fine; you can skip the phone number)
- Within 3 minutes you should now see your FRN balance up to $.80 (here)
- You can also get an additional $.15 by linking your Mastercard to FRN, you can do that here
- Now you’ll have $.80 in your FRN account, or $.95 if you linked the Mastercard
- Check for a Shell station nearby; I believe all Shell’s are part of FR network, but I might be wrong
- Go to Shell by 11/30/17 and fuel up to 20 gallons and get $.80/95 off per gallon; make sure you have available your ALT ID number which is the phone number you input on your FRN account (not the number you put on your Giant/S&S accounts, those are irrelevant for our purposes here); you can find your ALT ID here
Our Verdict
Filling a tank that holds 20 gallons will save you $16 or $19 off the tank of gas. If Shell is more expensive than your regular gas station or if you have a small tank, it’ll be less savings.
A bit of work to get it done, with a nice savings. You should even be able to do one for each member of the family and save on multiple tanks of gas.
You can also earn FRN gas points by shopping at many grocery stores.

You can have both S&S and Giant linked to the same account? Didn’t know that.
Very good. Thanks doc.
Apparently not all Shell locations participate. You can check here:

Confirm: NOT ALL SHELL LOCATIONS participate. We lost some participating locations here which is why I parked it. It turns out this card also doubles with Hy-Vee gas for some programs. So register your HyVee Fuel Saver+Perks card.too.
How do I link my Grocery Card? (see link)

Not sure about anyone else, but I have never gotten more than $.20 credit per gallon at the pump even though my FR account has stated I have had up to $.60 credit per gallon. Wonder if there is some sort of cap or maybe I should try using my FR card at the pump instead of entering ALT ID.
In my area, you can use FR points or Kroger fuel points at Shell stations. There is a cap if you use Kroger fuel points (sorry I don’t know what that cap is). But there is no cap on the FR points you can use and it is automatic in that you cannot choose how much to use (they do however only reduce the fuel cost to 1.9 cents per gallon – a fill-up costs me 38 cents out of pocket).
Thanks Steve – I do have the same phone number attached to my local grocery (.20 cap) and my FR account. So guessing when I enter my ALT ID it uses grocery discount instead of FR. Do you use ALT ID at pump or your fuel rewards card?
I hit the 2x visa gift card bonus hard last week and paid $0.38 for 20 gallons in NY. Not per gallon, in total. If there was a way to post a picture of the pump, I would. Make sure to type in your FR number and not your SS/Giant number.
thank you for this tip!
better yet: get 5 FRN cards, and make 4 “refer a friend” accounts off the main one. You don’t need a real phone, address or email to generate these accounts – fake the whole thing!
buy 1gal of gas (maybe less?) on each referral acct, and get an additional $0.25/gal off added to the main account. boom: another $1/gal off the next fillup of 20gal or less.
then, unregister the FRN cards from those accounts and make new accounts using the same 4 cards. rinse/repeat.
Isn’t it $0.05 / gal per referral?
FR also has another stacking option of $.05/gallon if you fill up on a Tuesday. It’s called BigTuesday or something similar. This is automatically applied at pump and does not show in App.
Not sure if this is available for all, but works around Central OH.
Is this 0.05 in addition to the 0.05 for gold member?
yes it is.
Sorry I should add that this is only during Big Ten Football and Basketball seasons and this may be regional.
Does this stack with the IHG/FR as well?
Couldn’t you also link a mastercard to the new FRN account to get an additional 0.15/gallon? “Mastercard is preferred by the Fuel Rewards program. Earn 15¢/gal the first time you link a Mastercard to your Fuel Rewards account. Terms & conditions apply. Offer expires 12/31/17.”
Good point! I’ll update the post.
Chuck, the fuel rewards 0.15 off a gallon by linking a Master Card did not work for me. It linked the card but does not show the 15 cents.
Had the same issue when using a prepaid MC. I don’t have a standard MC to try as a datapoint.
Another 0.05 from IHG
Is the 20 gallons maximum just for once or it can be the combination of several fillups?
One time only for the discount, so bring your gas can or a different vehicle 😉
Linking IHG does indeed work to add another instant 5 cents/gal off… 85 cents off without any purchases, not bad, thanks DoC
The 15 cents off/gal from linking a mastercard requires $100 in spend.
I think you’re reading the Groceries requirement for $100 min spend.
It just didn’t post ‘instantly’ like the others. I checked the account a day after and with all the links it’s up to $1.00/off gal. 🙂
14 gallons max for my car. And Shell is overpriced, I rather drive to BP or speedway for gas.
Thanks for sharing. Your data point is irrelevant to everyone else on this page. Kudos to you for being that guy!
I used different information for Giant and Stop and Shop but only got one bonus.
Doc, you are the man! Thanks.
Do I still get the discount if I pay by Shell giftcard?
I was livid at Shell for charging me a higher price, e.g. a “credit” price for using their own gift card and stopped using them since this occurred 6 years a go except once in a pinch this past summer. I contacted corporate and got the following useless message back in 2010:
“This is in regards to your communication regarding the Shell branded station. We sincerely regret the situation you described concerning cash versus credit prices at the Shell branded station. Please accept our apologies for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced.
As independent business people, Shell retailers are free to establish their own prices and policies.
