Tier Status

  1. What are the member tiers?
  2. The Fuel Rewards® member status tiers are Platinum, Gold, and Silver. All new members receive Complimentary Gold Status with a savings of 5¢/gal for the Introductory Period. After that period, members will need to fill up with at least 10 gallons six times or more during the qualification period to maintain Gold Status. Otherwise, Status moves to Silver with a 3¢/gal savings. To advance to Platinum Status, with a savings of 10¢/gal, members will need to fill up 12 times with at least 10 gallons or 6 fill-ups of Shell V-Power® NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline of at least 10 gallons during the 3-month qualification period. See http://www.fuelrewards.com/status for full details.

  3. How long does my Complimentary Gold Status last?
  4. Existing Fuel Rewards® members that have Gold Status as of July 17, 2023, will receive Complimentary Gold status through December 31, 2024. New Fuel Rewards® members receive Complimentary Gold Status for the current qualification period plus one additional qualification period. See http://www.fuelrewards.com/status for full details.

  5. What are Qualification and Benefit periods?
  6. Qualification Periods and Benefit Periods will be done on quarterly cycles (January - March (Q1), April-June (Q2), July-September(Q3), October-December (Q4).

    The qualification period to determine your status for the next benefit quarter will be the prior quarter. If, at any time in your evaluation period you meet the requirements of a higher tier, you will be immediately upgraded to the higher tier for the rest of the current period and you will remain at the higher tier through the next period. If you do not maintain that status in your next period, your status will downgrade to the tier you qualify for. See http://www.fuelrewards.com/status for full details.

  7. Do my savings from other rewards I earn combine with my member status?
  8. Yes! Stack your rewards to save even more at the pump.
    Here's an example of how easily you can save 35¢/gal:
    Earn 10¢/gal from Fuel Rewards® Dining;
    Save another 15¢/gal from shopping online;
    Stacked with your 10¢/gal Platinum Status savings.

  9. How do I maintain Gold Status?
  10. To maintain your Gold Status after your Complimentary Gold period ends, you will need to have filled up at least 6 times in the previous qualification period. That's only two times per month. For example, if you join in February, you will receive Complimentary Gold status through the end of June. To maintain your Status for July-September, you must fill up 6 times between February and June. To maintain your Status for October-December, you must fill up 6 times between July-September. See http://www.fuelrewards.com/status for full details.

  17. Did Gold+ Status go away?

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.
