Customer Ratings & Reviews

I buy Shell gas almost exclusively and this was a great bargain. I picked this Gift Card up on one of Best Buy's daily deals for only $45. It arrived the very next day and I was able to add this card to my wallet in the Shell App, using the QR code on the back. Once added, it immediately showed the gift card had a $50.00 balance. When I received the card, I noticed that the Pull Tab on the back had been opened, so they activated the card before they shipped it via FedEx. I didn't use the card for over a week after I got it, but it worked perfectly without any problems. When I bought gas, I just used my Shell App and selected the gift card as payment. I especially like that I was able to also take advantage of my Shell Rewards for even more savings. It will work either at the pump or in the store. This was a great bargain and very easy to use and would highly recommend this to anyone. I feel this Gift Card would make a great gift too.

It’s such a game changer when you can get shell gift cards picked up at Best Buy. I get them all the time. You get deals on gas, plus if you’re giving it as a gift and not sure what to get. Everyone needs gas these days. Also can buy anything else in store

Been purchasing shell gas cards and never had a problem. Awesome easy to use, earns you points and makes great gifts!

I purchased this Shell $50 Gift Card and had a smooth experience from start to finish. The gift card was easy to redeem, and I was able to add the funds directly to my Shell app without any issues. Once added, the balance was available immediately and worked seamlessly when paying for fuel. The process was straightforward, and I didn't encounter any problems with activation or redemption. If you can purchase it at a discount or as part of a promotion, it becomes an even better value. It's a convenient way to save a little on fuel expenses while keeping everything accessible through the app. Overall, this was a hassle-free purchase and a great deal. I would definitely buy it again when available at a discount.

I bought three of these Shell gift cards online and none of these had been activated when I got them in the mail. So basically I got three pieces of plastic with the Shell logo. THANK YOU BEST BUY!!! It was a wonderful experience going to the gas station and trying to pay with the piece of plastic I had just received. I then drove to a Best Buy store where I got zero help! They just gave me a phone number to call. Called it...and of course it was closed since it was a Sunday. Called on Monday and after several hours going back and forth with Best Buy and Shell, I was told the funds would be activated in 24 hours or less. Waited 'till next day, checked balance and nothing! So called Best Buy and after several hours again, they were able to fund 2 out of the 3 gift cards! I had to wait for the third one to get sent to the Best Buy store. This whole experience was frustrating, ridiculous, aggravating!!! I wasted so many hours of my time to resolve this!!!

I found out that all Shell stations cannot process the gift card. It has funds on but the store clerk seems to not know how to accept it in their machine. It shows declined no funds available.

This was a good deal and anybody can use a gas card. But the delivery was pretty slow and I was worried it could get stolen before being delivered. It seems it would be a lot better to have an electronic delivery so it wouldn't have to go through a carrier. Of course I ordered just before Memorial day so it got stuck in the long weekend sitting somewhere.

I checked all my cards after reading other reviews and found that one of mine wasn’t working. When I reviewed the order details, I noticed Best Buy listed the gift card serial numbers there, and the nonworking card only showed a partial serial number. I had to call customer support to get it sorted out, and now I have to drive to a Best Buy store to pick up a replacement because they won’t ship it out. Ironically, I bought Shell gift cards to save on gas, and now I’m wasting gas fixing their mistake. If you order these online, double check that the serial numbers on the cards match what’s listed in your order details before gifting them. My guess is the barcode on one card was only partially scanned during activation, which turned it into my problem to deal with. Very frustrating.

I bought a $50 Shell gift card at $45 and thought it was a great deal, but it turned into a very bad decision. I can't use the card at any Shell gas station. It seems the card has no balance. I contact customer services, but they can't help. They told me to send an email to <bestbuygiftcard@cashstar.com>. I sent my email and there is no response after a month. I feel like this is a scam.

I received the gift card and it had $0.00 balance. I had to email customer service to get it activated (which was a pain). Then, customer service was unable to activate. The next step offered was for me to drive to another gas station (using my gas) to request another card. Finally was able to get a refund. Overall it was a total inconvenience and waste of my time.

Bought this gift card when they were on sale and used it for an emergency when I didn't have enough money on me.

Easy to load on the Shell app. Only issue was store employees had a hard time activating the card.

Got the GC for a discount. That made it a deal. I am member of Shell's fuel rewards and combining it with the gift card helped. Shell gas is good quality.

Nice present for my son as he enjoys traveling and gas prices are high now

As a result of receiving these non-activated gift cards, I wasted both time and money driving to a Shell station to redeem them, only to find that they were unusable. I also spent several hours on phone calls and follow-up communications with Best Buy attempting to resolve the issue. I called and spoke to a supervisor, who said the only option he had was to provide a refund. This is a widespread problem affecting multiple customers, as documented in the following discussion: https://slickdeals.net/f/19517418-shell-oil-50-gift-card-for-45-bestbuy-com?sort=oldest&page=5&src=SDSearchv3&attrsrc=Thread%3AExpired%3ATrue%7CSearch%3AType%3Anormal%7CSearch%3ASort%3Arelevance%7CSearch%3AHideExpired%3Afalse#commentsHeader Obviously, Best Buy keeps the money if customers never use their gift cards. It almost makes it seem like selling these gift cards is a scam.

Easy to use gift card, unless you're in a loyalty program, then it's more involved.

Always nice to be able to get gifts card at stores as gifts for others. Also nice to get for yourself when needed. Love bestbuy!

Quick delivery to home, easy to use at any Shell gas stations

redeem in store just like cash, can be used at any station

This is very unusual for Best Buy. Simple purchase, messed up by best buy!This was delivered fine, but I was trying to use it at a Shell station, and it is NOT activated yet. I had to call Shell, then Best Buy. It took a long time on the call, after being transferred, I was told to wait for email from "escalations." Very poor experience so far, not fixed yet.
