Fueling Success: Shell Fleet Cards and Their Benefits
In this inaugural episode of Fueling Success, host Robert M. Coleman, a seasoned fuel consultant, takes a deep dive into the benefits of Shell Fleet Cards and how they can help businesses streamline fueling operations, save money, and improve security across their fleets. Robert explains how Shell Fleet Cards offer substantial savings through per-gallon rebates, while also giving businesses enhanced control over fuel purchases with spending limits and detailed reporting features. With the added convenience of 24/7 customer service and wide acceptance at thousands of fueling stations nationwide, these cards offer a comprehensive solution to manage fuel expenses effectively. Additionally, there are benefits like discounts at participating Jiffy Lube locations for fleet maintenance.
Robert also introduces the three main types of Shell Fleet Cards: the Shell Fleet Plus® Card, the Shell Small Business™ Card, and the Shell Fleet Navigator® Card. Each card offers unique features to suit different business needs. The Shell Fleet Plus® Card provides up to 6¢ per gallon in rebates at Shell stations with no card fees, while the Shell Small Business™ Card offers similar savings and a revolving credit option. The Shell Fleet Navigator® Card, which also offers rebates at Shell stations, stands out with its universal acceptance at over 95% of U.S. fueling stations and access to electric vehicle (EV) charging payments.
The episode goes on to explain how the rebate programs work for each card, with rebates based on total gallons purchased within a billing cycle. These rebates appear as account credits on the monthly billing statement, making it easy to track savings. In addition, Shell Fleet Cards offer robust control features, allowing fleet managers to set purchase limits, generate detailed fueling activity reports, and manage cards online or through mobile apps. This helps minimize fraud and misuse while maintaining a tight grip on spending.
In terms of convenience and security, Shell Fleet Cards stand out with acceptance at nearly 13,000 Shell stations and at over 95% of all U.S. fueling locations. The cards also offer real-time cancellation of lost or stolen cards and track fueling activity with tools like DriverDash. Online tools such as the Shell Account Manager and Fleet SmartHub mobile app allow for on-the-go management of payments, purchases, and fraud monitoring, ensuring that fleet managers can stay in control at all times.
Lastly, Robert highlights a special promotional offer for new customers—an exclusive rebate of 25¢ per gallon for the first six months, up to 6,000 gallons per month, available on fuel purchases at Shell stations. This offer provides an additional incentive for businesses looking to take advantage of the savings Shell Fleet Cards offer.
