Contact Shell Support

by Buyer's Remorse-C

I enjoyed the app and savings to begin with. However, when I had an issue and needed to contact customer support, I was treated poorly. I had an issue where I had more than one payment linked and my preferred payment was not the default even though I selected it to be. My payment was rejected and I was not notified via email, app, etc. On the app, nothing appeared out of the ordinary after making the transaction as usual. I didn’t see the issue until I went to fill up again. When I called customer service to get it taken care of and to report the system error I experienced, I was talked to SO disrespectfully. The agent literally raised her voice talked over me. I called again after trying to understand what happened (because at the time it wasn’t clear and she was not trying to help me understand) and when I asked for a manager, she said no. I called back with my bank because there were fees associated (and I was refused a manager). It was the same rude person. I had to ask HER if she would calm down to simply ask my questions. My bank refunded me the fees as a courtesy and I paid the remainder of my part. I deleted the app and haven’t used the app since then. Shell should be ashamed choosing such unprofessional people to offer customer support. It was a joke and in total a 2 week ordeal. I’m happily with Exxon now.

As others have mentioned there is no option to link payments to a credit or debit card. This alone makes it useless for me as I do not have, nor do I want, a Shell credit. I also do not routinely use ApplePay or PayPal. Security is also an issue. It does not allow you to cut and paste passwords and limits the password you can you to 8 characters. This makes it impossible to use password managers that generate long complex passwords that are impossible to remember.

The ability to link accounts in the cloud and use complex password to aid in keeping those accounts safe from hackers is not an option.

Interestingly, if you can find the website associated with the account it sets up when you activate the app (they have many websites that you can login to - use fuel rewards) the website will allow you to link other cards. I have not tried this as I am not sure I trust the app or website developers. It clearly has bugs and the overall strategy is not well thought out. I was really only looking to delete the account set up by the app.

A few weeks ago I went to use the app conveniently in my car and noticed that I couldn’t use it because my card expired. When I went to update it, it wouldn’t let me. Luckily, I had my card with me so I had to go in the store to purchase my gas. I called customer service and they said they disabled that option because they were currently working on an update. An update just showed on my phone today, so I updated it. Just to find out that I still can’t update the exp date &/or can’t add another personal cc. I called cust. svc. and they said they disabled that option completely and the option to add a personal debit card. Such a bummer!!! I was able to leave my debit card/CC at home and use the app with no issues. Now I have to carry my debit when I go just to get gas then stand in line and wait for a receipt. I don’t use Apple Pay nor any of the other option cards they have listed on the app. Why did they removed a perfectly working option that people constantly use?!! Pls bring back the debit card/cc added feature.
