Redeeming Rewards

  1. How do I use Fuel Rewards savings to lower my price at the pump?
  2. At a participating Shell station, enter your Alt ID or swipe your Fuel Rewards card or a credit or debit card opted in to Link & Save. If you pay inside, present one of these methods to the attendant.

  3. How do I get an Alt ID?
  4. Set up your Alt ID in your account profile. You will need to provide your mobile phone number to create a new Alt ID.

  5. How much can I save on each fill-up?
  6. There is no maximum! Some stations set a minimum payment level, and all stations are limited to 20 gallons. So, if you have $1.50 in Fuel Rewards savings, then you can save a maximum of $30 ($1.50 x 20 gallons) on your fill-up.

  7. What happens if my Fuel Rewards savings are greater than the price of a gallon of gas?
  8. The amount greater than the per-gallon price will simply roll over to your next fill-up. For example, if a gallon of gas is $3.50 and you have $4.00 in Fuel Rewards savings, you will be able to roll over 50¢/gal to your next fill-up.

  9. Do I need a Fuel Rewards card to redeem my savings?
  10. You may use a Fuel Rewards card, Alt ID, or a credit or debit card opted in to Link & Save. If you would like to get a Fuel Rewards card, you may pick one up at a Shell station and link it to your account or request one to be mailed to you when you sign up.

Data Security

  1. How do I protect the data associated with my Fuel Rewards® account?
  2. There are several ways to protect yourself. Here are three immediate steps you can take to protect your information:

    • Keep your software up-to-date: Software has vulnerabilities, and attackers find, target and exploit these vulnerabilities on a daily basis, which is why you need to be diligent about applying the patches and updates that your software providers issue. Most of these updates can be applied automatically, but you should schedule a regular time to review your software “portfolio” and manually apply any patches or updates that, for whatever reason, can’t be automated. Be aware that attackers may try to fool you into installing malware by making you think it’s an update, so be sure to apply only trusted patches that you have accessed directly from the software provider’s website.
    • Be smart about your passwords: Make sure that your passwords are unique and complex — at least eight characters, including a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Many consumers are turning to password managers to help themselves out with this important but tedious chore.
    • Be aware — even suspicious — of email attachments and web links: One of the most basic things you can do to protect yourself is to manually type the web address for your bank, for example, as opposed to clicking on the link that purports to take you to your banking website. Trust your instincts. If it looks or sounds suspicious, it probably is.
  3. Whom should I call if I believe my Fuel Rewards account has been compromised?
  4. If you believe your account has been compromised, call Fuel Rewards Members Services immediately at (888) 603-0473.
