- Section 6, Your Account
“Your Account is non-transferable and may not be sold, combined or otherwise shared with another person, except as provided in this paragraph.”1
What Equilon Enterprises LLC d/b/a Shell Oil Products US says happens4
- Balances, payouts and refunds
Rewards have no cash, monetary or other value, cannot be converted into any currency, cannot be applied as credit to any payment card statement, and may be canceled at any time.1
Where savings exceed the price per gallon, the remainder is saved for a future fuel purchase rather than being paid out.2
- Closing the account
A member may close the account by notifying the Member Support Helpdesk, and upon closure any rights to redeem Rewards from that Account are lost.1
Fuel Rewards is integrated into the Shell App, and deleting the Shell App account also deletes the Fuel Rewards account.3
- Inactive accounts and expiry
Unless an offer states otherwise, Rewards issued by Shell expire on the last day of the month following the month in which they were earned, and an expired or cancelled Reward becomes void without compensation.1
If no Rewards are recorded in an account for three years, the program may terminate the account and cancel its Rewards.1
Shell sets longer windows for particular offers, states that all rewards last at least one month, and states that savings cannot be extended.3
- Passwords and login
Shell describes the member's 4-digit PIN as an extra layer of security on the account; a survivor reaches the account through the Fuel Rewards Helpdesk instead.3
