Over the past 18 months I've avoided paying retail price for gas by continuously earning and using Fuel Rewards savings. If you're unfamiliar with the\u00a0Fuel Rewards<\/a>\u00a0program, it is a third-party program that allows you to\u00a0earn cents-per-gallon discounts on gas at participating Shell branded stations nationwide, ensuring you never pay full price for gas again. I've actually been so successful with the Fuel Rewards program that I just surpassed over $1,000 in lifetime savings, which the Fuel Rewards program mobile app conveniently tracks.<\/p>\n

The Fuel Rewards program has just launched the “Never Pay Full Price Again!” campaign which is offering new members<\/a> instant Gold Status for six months after registration. Gold status earns you 5 cents\/gallon savings on every fill-up, up to 20 gallons per fill-up. In order to maintain Gold Status after the first six months, you must complete six fill-ups of at least five gallons during the fourth, fifth, and sixth months of your membership. If you do not complete six fill-ups, you'll maintain Silver Status which gives you 3 cents\/gallon savings on every fill-up.<\/p>\n

Earn Maximum Savings<\/span><\/h2>\n

Saving 5 cents\/gallon from Gold Status every time you fill-up is enjoyable, but the true greatness in the Fuel Rewards program lies in the ability to earn additional savings and drop the price of gas even further for your next fill-up. Let's look at the different ways you can earn additional savings:<\/p>\n

Card-Linked Offers<\/strong> \u2014 Link a credit or debit card to your Fuel Rewards program account and shop at participating merchants to earn additional savings\u2014typically 5-10 cents\/gallon for every $50 spent. Your card-linked offers stack with online shopping, dining, and travel offers as the Fuel Rewards program recognizes whenever your linked card is used at a participating merchants.<\/p>\n

Online Shopping<\/strong> \u2014 The Fuel Rewards program online shopping portal<\/a> has hundreds of merchants for almost anything you need to buy. Shop through the portal and earn as much as 40 cents\/gallon in savings from shopping through hundreds of online retailers.<\/p>\n

Dining<\/strong> \u2014 Earn 10 cents\/gallon savings for every $50 you spend at participating restaurants. Find participating local restaurants in the Fuel Rewards program mobile app.<\/p>\n

Travel<\/strong> \u2014 Book flights, hotels and travel packages through the Fuel Rewards program travel engine, powered by Priceline, and you'll earn 5 cents\/gallon savings for every $50 you spend.<\/p>\n

Featured Offers<\/strong> \u2014From time to time the Fuel Rewards program offers a large amount of savings through a specific partner<\/a>. I've taken advantage of the Winc wine offer to earn $1 in savings\/gallon after trialing Winc's wine mailing service.<\/p>\n

Refer-a-Friend<\/strong> \u2014 Use your unique invite link to have friends and family sign up for the program. After your friend uses their Fuel Rewards program card to fill up for the first time at a participating Shell station, you'll earn 25 cents\/gallon savings for your next fill-up. There is no limit to the number of friends and family who can use your link.<\/p>\n

Shop at Shell<\/strong> \u2014 The final way I earn savings is by keeping an eye on the Shell specific offers in my Fuel Rewards mobile app. From time to time there are deals too good to be true by offering you 5-10 cents\/gallon savings for buying a single snack or drink product in a participating Shell station convenience store.<\/p>\n
