Shell App, My Experience (Pay at the Pump)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лис 2024
- Using the Shell (Pay & Save) app should speed things up for you when paying for gas. And it suppose to be more secure. And also save you money when you fill-up by earning Fuel Rewards.
You either can start up the app when you're at the Shell gas station OR anywhere, and it would assist you to the Shell gas station.
When you're at the station press "Payment or press Pay & Save" or the back arrow at the top to see "Pay the pump" and "Pay in the shop" buttons. Press "Pay at the Pump" so you don't have to go in the shop.
And once it located your Shell station, it will prompt you to input the pump number. Do so and confirm the payment. Of course, you must have already set the up the payment methods. Go into the settings to do so, if you haven't.
Don't be afraid to see the $1 charge. It's a temporary pre-authorization from your credit company. It's to give you the green light to charge the card. Note: I never do see the $1 charge in my statements.
This is the perfect video. Not long-winded, just gets directly to the point, love it and thank you!
Thank you for your comment. I totally understand that, when watching a video, l myself like it to be more direct.
Why the dislikes, this is exactly the process.
Thank you. :)
Driving on phone?
I was looking for this exact video, thanks for making it, the funny thing is I’m also a MINI owner 👋🏼
No problem. Before, I was also looking for someone to show how the app worked. Interesting, this is my second Mini, love them. Thanks. :)
Nice! Have you ever executed an Italian Job? If so, excellent
No, haha. Love it. ;)
@@TossSong Lol! Sweet.
That’s fountain valley! Haha that shell is a circle k now on Brookhurst how cool
Thanks for sharing. Yes, that’s the location. I assume you near the area.
Nice video, your gas cap is designed to stand on your gas door so it doesn’t hang down. Insert cap into the hole on your gas door. 👍
Thank you. I have had this car since 2012…and I didn’t know that. :) I will now put it into the hole on the gas door…I was wondering what that was for, haha.😁
Thx for the vid, but I will definitely just swipe my CAA card are the pump lol. When they make it a little less tedious, I might give it a shot
Thank you for your comment. On occasion I have to use a card too (for credit line to run through). This is because the app can only have one card payment at a time, unlike Apple Pay. :)
Thanks for doing this, I'm in UK but its the same.
No problem. Interesting to know that it’s the same there. Thanks for commenting.
Nice video and good shell app...make fueling so easy...but setel app for petronas is 1st one which making fueling so easy...just like shell...
Thank you for your comment and for sharing. I noticed however Setel app is not available in Apple app stores.
Quicker to just fill up and go pay inside.
Thanks for your comment. That is true if the inside is not busy (no line to wait).
Not bad. This is a safe alternative to stay away from card and pin number skimmers.
You have at great point! This is one remote way to go around that. Thanks for watching.
Or just use the NFC reader.
Great video, but how do I select what type of gas I want before I pay through the Shell app?
Thank you for your comment. Once you select the pump number and confirm through the app (and it will pull $1 temporarily), you could select the gas. Once finished pumping the gas, the $1 will be immediately deducted. Hope that helps.
Pwede poba yan gamitin sa mga motor ?
Hi, thanks for your comment. Yes, this app can be used with a motorcycles, no problem.
You still need to key in confirmation number at pump keypad, it is mobile but not contactless.
You actually don’t anymore (Dec 2020). You just do it on your cellphone only...However, nothing is contactless, you still have to lift the gasoline nuzzle. So you’re technically still right.
When you chose what Payment method you wanna use will it tell you how much cents it’s taking off?
Hi, for Shell discount you’ll see it on the app immediately after you pump gas. For credit card, it would be through your bank statement.
Definitely California price for the gas.
I have one question do you have to link a checking account and use a different app than the Fuel Rewards ?
Thanks for your comment. I have my Apple Pay (card) as a payment method which gives me 2% off in addition to the reward I get from using the app. But you could use any card for payment method. Using with different app, I don’t know. If you’re curious, my lifetime saving using this app is $21 (not including the 2% off).
@@TossSong Thank you for the information!
No problem. Thanks again.
How to change from petrol to electric please?????
That’s a good one. :) I wouldn’t know. But I’m almost certain that in a couple of decades or so, most of these gas/petrol stations won’t be around.
It would be fucking hilarious if when he turned around to pump gas he was driving a Tesla 😂
That app is pure trash in Europe. Plus the pumps don't take cards. You have to go in the shop. At every single station that app errors or demands you scan a QR code that just isn't there. Paying by mobile or by card at the pump looks so convenient.
I see, hopefully with time they can improve.
How do I associate a navigation app into the shell app as yours does? When I ask mine for directions, it offers up only the galaxy store and play store as options. If I hit play store I can open google maps from there but that's not how it's supposed to work.
I only have experience with iOS version. You could always work around by searching Google Maps first for a Shell station nearby.
There should be a setting to open by default and select the Google maps app. It might be set to play store.
@@XanhDT89 Thank you so much for replying. I went into the phone to try it again, apparently a recent phone update has fixed the problem, now get a choice of google maps or waze, perfect!
No problem. Glad to hear it worked for you. :)
@@robertstout6980 awesome to hear!
What is reparal code ..how to apply
Hi, thanks for reaching out. If you meant “referral code”, for discount, I actually don’t know if there is (or allow to have) one, I may be wrong. (Let me know how you were able you to get one). The reason, every time when you use the app, you are getting small discount off already. For me, in addition to the app discount, I also get 2% off because I linked my Apple Card to it.
Seems like an unsafe app. You spend a half hour playing with a phone and the guy behind you loses his mind waiting and kills you.
Hi, thanks for your comment. I have been using the app for several years now, I’ve not had any issues. There are only two things to press, one is the pump number and another is “confirm”, but Yes, if you’re in a small gas station it can get crowded.
Setel is much easier to use
Thanks for your comment. Thanks for sharing.
Wow nice
Thanks for commenting.
@@TossSong you're welcome and thanks as well to you my friend
How did you get that $0.30 discount I got it once by adding my chase card now I only get my normal $0.10.
I really don’t know. I’m now getting $0.10 as well. It might have been a promotional thing.
You can add up cents by buying things from the gas stations that are participating
Thank you for that information. I didn’t know. :)
@@TossSong Thanks for the vid Toss. You can get more discounts by buying from other companies that participate in fuel rewards. I get a ton from using my Home Depot commercial card. You have to use the discount within 2 months or they expire. Not a problem for me!
I am very new to this. I made my first purchase tonight with the credit card to get the savings. I am frantically trying to figure out how I need to pay this off with my debit card account at the end of the month. I am very confused on this part.
Hi, it will be the same as you use your credit card to purchase something. And every billing cycle (a month) you’ll have to pay it off.
Or pay it before the billing cycle if you choose to…with you debit card. Because you want to avoid the need to pay off the interest that would have accrued on your account.
@@TossSong Thank you so much for the reply. I am confused on how to pay that balance though, I don't see an option for it.
I assume you setup the Shell app using a credit card for payment. If yes, you don’t pay through the Shell app. Instead you’ll see the changes on your bank account (your credit card account). Say for example, your credit card that you setup with Shell app is Chase or Citibank (or whatever your credit card belongs to). You have to go to their website or their app. There you’ll see the charges that applied through the credit card. Then you’ll have to find the option “make payment” and select it using your checking account inside the bank app. *If you are really confused, go see or contact the credit card company. They well explain how to make the payment.
@@TossSong I really appreciate your help, sir! Thank you for everything and Merry Christmas!
I don’t understand why it needs drivers license number and everything for verification. Did yours ask for that? Shell S Pay verification
No, I don’t remember it ever did. That’s strange! I would now be concerned.
Also I just want to make sure…my App that I use is not “S Pay” it’s just a Shell “Pay & Save” App that you link you credit card to only.
@@TossSong idk why my comment got deleted but I said I think it’s the same app, s Pay seems to be something new they are marketing? I’m not sure. You get 10 cents off a gallon for enrolling. Basically 25 cents off if you combine with other offers.
I see. I will look into that. And do a little bit of research. I like simplicity. For example I linked my Apple Pay to this Shell app and I get discount from both simultaneously.
Yeah, I want to look into it and see.
@@TossSong it’s in “The Scoop” section on the bottom
I put the app on my phone but it didn't have U.S. listed.
Hi, are you using the app in U.S. or elsewhere? Are you using an iPhone? I did some research, for some Android phones, there might be compatible issue. I’m not sure if this is your situation. :(
Have you used the shell rewards card before?
No, I’ve not. I believe you could get one at a participating Shell station.
I have been trying to go cardless. In addition, I use Apple Card with the Shell app getting additional 2% off alongside it each time I use the app.
What a bloomin palarva just to save a couple of dollars !
Thank you for your comment. Totally understand.
I'm getting an error message saying another app is not letting the shell app write over, I think it says. Anyone else have this issue ?
I assume you are using Android, because I’m not familiar with the error. I did some research, try looking up “screen overlay detected” error.
Drawing over other apps means being able to display something, while not in foreground, like a screen filter that darkens the screen.
@@TossSong I think I found an answer. I'll give it a try after work and let you know if that fixed the issue. Thanks for your thoughts
Sounds good. Let me know, I’m curious.
Just another "SMART" app to stop human beings interacting with each other 😢
Thank you for your comment. It would make good sense about 3 years ago, and/or for people who have disabilities and/or maybe for more timid people.
What if I want to pay with cash? I never pay with card cuz of all the scams ppl being doing at certain places that steal your info when swiping/using your card
I understand. Yes of course, you could pay with cash. You’ll have to go inside to pay it.
Go inside and tell the attendant the amount of gas you want and pump number
@@TossSong and all the while others are waiting til you finish at the pump ....other way is put fuel in,go inside to pay then drive off.
Actually, You'll need to tell them how much gas you want to pay for, and the number of the pump at which you're parked. You can’t just pump gas once you parked, it won’t let you. So, you’d still have to go inside. Your way, which I used to do, could be done like 10+ years ago, I don’t know if you could do it like that now.
@@TossSong That’s so correct. I started working at a Circle K recently & we do Not turn on the gas pump for anyone. A lot of people have took off before & did not pay. So it’s not allowed anymore. People will sit there for 5-8 mins thinking we can turn it on but we can’t, so they get upset & leave.
I have been to two different Shell stations to try this and both gave me an error. Have you had this happen?
I have not had exactly an error. I have only got a message about the GPS not detecting the gas station location-but I was about to reload, then it would be okay. Could it possibly be the weak reception or GPS?
It told me I exceeded the amount you could buy, but I don’t know how to fix it
I’m sorry, I have never had that message before. I don’t know how that could be. Because, for me, I only sign up for “Shell Pay & Save Reward” nothing more.
Too tedious. Don't see how it saves time
Hi, thanks for your comment. The benefits that most like about this whole process is to Not pay inside. Another is that the app you could earn 5 cents/gal off each time you use it. Plus I get 2% off with my credit card I use with the app. This depends if you want to get the app discount.
Setel is more advanced
I looked into it-Setel (app). Seemingly more advanced. I’ll dig into it some more. Thanks for the info.
Takes too damn long. Could have done it manually and save have half the time. lolol.
Thanks for commenting. I know what you mean. For me, I still do this routine today. I don’t know mind because of the discount each time using the app + 2% off using my Apple Card as payment method.
It doesn't pump the gas for you.... Fail.
Of course. Funny 😄
Thats literally more bullshit than just tapping your card and leaving.
you save money this way tho the whole point of doing it this way too
