Did this today. Paypal confirmed the £5 reduction via email. Thanks.

Just got around to checking this and my paypal bill was a fiver less. :smile:

Thanks OP.

Those who get the staion not part of fill and go can try clicking again to check until GPS finally kicks in as I have this quite often.

Tried this last night and got the credit. Took me two attempts though - it said that payment was declined by Paypal the first time I tried it

i tried and after selecting the pump and paypal as payment it started asking to link a card to the wallet. I am using iphone 6s. Is this correct? why would it ask me to link a card to wallet as my card is already linked to paypal?

Thanks for being a loyal customer. This offer has now reached its limit as outlined in the terms and conditions. Unfortunately you can’t save any more offers for this merchant at the moment.

Oh ok. Mine works fine. I think it's worth a try for you...

From the Tesco page on our gateway

Is that for a Tesco voucher? The Sainsbury's ones say can't be used on petrol

The only station that has it near me on their app doesn't actually have it.

I would have liked this offer but with the site being down for ages I couldn't do it. :disappointed:

Did not work for me either - must be expired:(

Accepted the offer a few days ago. Just used fill up and pay today. Will last hour, It worked and received 5 off.

My girlfriend tried to use the link and accept the offer on PayPal site about 2 hours ago but it didn't work so no more can accept offer but it seems like All the redemptions haven't been completed yet.

Not nonsense. However the risk is very minimal especially around Unleaded and Diesel

Bummer.

Expired

Expired.

That was proven years back to be rubbish. You are more likely to have static on your person than from a phone and in fact the static from your person has caused problems in the past. Have you never heard the 'crack' of static as you touch the car sometimes when opening the petrol cap

expire this down dont even work. :kissing_heart:

Great share, I fuelled up today typical haha!

Free fuel is always good. Although I have always had trouble using Fill Up & Go, every month I get an offer for 100 bonus points and it never registers to my account. I have to complain on Twitter and then go through a discussion with customer services to get them added, they stopped being so accommodating after the 5th time.
I tend not to bother using it now.

Thanks OP, just used

Thanks will give it a try. Although looks like people been having problems.

According to shell another week until everything is working correctly ie website login

worked fine here :smile:

Claimed this morning. Thanks, heat added

i don't have a roaming mobile package so I can't get internet outside, so I can't use the app for this offer.

Worked for me, only put a fiver because shell is 6p dearer a litre.

could someone clarify if can be used the offer more than once until expires end of October? The offer says valid until 4000 credits?!

Nice.. cheers OP

Better still Go Electric and get your fuel free at certain charging stations

Get someone else to drive.

How do I get delivery?

I just enter my pump number then go fill up while it connects and gets approved, no need to stand around on the forecourt using the app

To people behind you probably, I just connect this before leaving my car, the person at the till approves it, then you begin filling. So the staff are aware you've paid.

Urban myth. Top gear did an episode trying to prove this and nothing happened despite about a dozen mobiles ringing in a caravan that had petrol poured inside.

I did that once by mistake. Only realised when I got back in the car.

Tried today - credit already returned - Thanks OP

Anyone have actually try it? Also could someone clarify if can be used the offer more than once until expires end of October? The offer says valid until 4000 credits?!

In the afore mentioned Mythbusters the conclusion to why fires had started whilst filling up was (and remember this was in america where high temperatures and low humidity cause more static to be generated)

Static electricity was generated by peoples clothes rubbing against the synthetic car seats. As they pulled the nozzle out after filling up the fumes coming from the filler opening were ignited by static spark from their hand. It just so happened that in some of the forecourt videos the person also had a mobile.

So if I were you I'd switch the pumps off when anyone wearing a primark dress gets out of a pimped saxo with polyester leopard skin seat covers. Not wen u would spot someone usin a fone with the batteries

Well I always thought using mobile phone on petrol station is prohibited. Well I think I'm wrong then.

Op deal

come on shell the people are waiting and its home time driving soon.

er yes £5.

No, you can only use your phone inside the car. Use it outside the car and they'll refuse to serve you fuel. Did no one watch the safety video in the app?

I'd wondered about this sort of thing previously, but our gateway specifically states

"1. You can use your Instant Reloadable Card for just about everything you'll need in your grocery shop! The only things excluded are petrol and concessions stores, such as Costa, Harris + Hoole and Giraffe"


I seem to remember Sainsbury's changing their policy so you couldn't use it in their petrol kiosks either.


Wonder if it's just a policy that's not enforced.

C'mon guys n gals. Its simple nd safe to use. Been using for years. It ony takes 2 seconds to tap some buttons, once its all set up, before coming out of car and filling up and driving away. No need to use phone outside car and faffing so u get honked buy driver behind u. See vids on how to use first.

Heat from me.

Thanks for this info... Just signed up and notice the £5 credit is in my Paypal account waiting to be used... Excellent...

Actually no, the app specifically tells you not to get out the car with your phone, there is a giant QR code that you scan from sitting in the car, my phone picks it up without even rolling the window down. You set up a maximum payment (usually I leave it at a full tank value) and then you get a refund for the difference.

We are experiencing some technical issues on the Shell Loyalty Website and Shell App.

We are working hard to fix this for you and hope to have things up and running very soon. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Is there wifi available at the pump or are you reliant on your data package?

on mythbusters they found the risk of sparks at the pump came from ppl building up a static charger as they slid off the seats in the car but no matter how hard they tried they could not get a mobile phone to cause a fire

Shared with Alfa Romeo owners club

Just done this and filled up as well Heat!!

It's not complete nonsense. You are both right and the ignition risk is EXTREMELY low.


Industry position
The use of mobile phones on UKPIA members’ forecourts is actively discouraged for several reasons:

Distraction - Using mobile phones can create a serious distraction for people dispensing fuel or crossing the forecourt due to the number of vehicles moving. Traffic movements will always present a risk for customers. However the distraction caused to pedestrians by mobile phones increases the risk of accidents.

Risk of incendive sparking - Mobile phones are not designed and certified for use in explosive atmospheres which exist temporarily around the pump and nozzle during refuelling as well as around the fill and vent pipes during petrol deliveries.Such use is expressly forbidden by law under the conditions of the petroleum licence and associated guidance. Whilst the risk of incendive sparking from mobile phones is low, they are not intrinsically safe devices and should not be used in those hazardous areas that exist on a forecourt. Generally,there is no need to restrict the use of mobile telephones in other areas of the forecourt, such as in the shop, in motor vehicles parked on the forecourt or in other non-hazardous areas.

Link: ukpia.com/ind…spx

I have seen on a documentary before it's because it interferes with the signal going from the forecort to the till?

For those having problems logging in to the app or website

Thats an urban legend thats not true

Thanks OP

Finally managed to activate the offer

Not sure that the £5 off worse the risk,

uk.trustpilot.com/rev…com

None of my local Shells even have a pay by phone facility.

Is that how it works? they have to accept in the shop?
numerous times I've sat there waiting for it to say I can start filling up. and it was all because he wouldn't press the button while he's standing there looking over at me?!

How much Shell points are worth?

cheers op!

Sounds good but when you try to register for a new account, it doesn't work. RIP.

Do i have to load it with money with paypal first

Though just tried logging into the app and it now works.

Added the offer to my PayPal account. Hopefully it will work when I fill this weekend. Thanks OP.

Also updated the app last night as it requested, only for it not to let me confirm the email address.

Are you referring to your PayPal account or Shell app?

If the latter, have you upgraded your account? They recently changed their backend systems so you now only need one set of credentials for the Shell and Fill Up & Go accounts. However, you’re required to upgrade the account.

Simply kill the app and try accessing your account. You should hen be prompted to upgrade.

Suspect through a reward scheme or something. I'm able to get discounted gift cards through a work rewards scheme and Tesco is on there.

Thanks managed to sign up. Will give it a test tomorrow when I'm passing Shell. Free fuel is great, just wish Shell weren't at least 4p p/l dearer than the nearby Supermarkets.

Mine won't let me login in to my account ....

Thanks

Think it's more safe to have your phone on the court than kept in the car on an unofficial charger plugged in the cigarette socket. :sunglasses:

Not so sure about using Samsung‌ Note 7 on forecourt though
Cant use within boundary of Oil refinery's though 'we cant use them in rail sidings at refinery
Also our radios and torches have to be classed as intrinsically safe so assume risk is with battery
not spark from RF .So there must be some element of risk

Too many people trying to register,took me about 10 attempts!!

Having the same issue matey

They've been having issues all day apparently.

Downloaded the app, went to set up Fill Up & Go, but keep getting "Error...we're sorry, something went wrong..."
Anyone else having this problem

I remember when I first got my Mini, the garage owner used to fill up my car with petrol with a lit fag hanging out of his mouth, every single time I went :fearful:

As flyingflea explains above

Thank you :grin:

Anyone else having problems adding PayPal to fill up go in he app? Tried several times and it won't let me through

Thanks. Used this last time with no issues. Though I don't generally use shell that often. Their V Power is much more expensive than Tesco Momentum 99 and I just pay for fuel on Tesco gift cards anyway so that gives me 4% (c 5p per litre) off fuel anyway. I'll take this for the free fiver though. You can just select the pump on your phone and authorise the payment and then get out of the car and refuel

I have worked in mobile telecoms for over 18 years and this idea is mostly a myth. You need a spark or electrical charge, phones won't do that. The only issue would be if the phone battery malfunctions. Sure it could happen in 0.0001% of phones but then again you can get struck by lightning or win the the lottery

Is there any minimum spending please

Shell must think there is a risk as the opening safety message says "Please be aware that you must not have conversations on your mobile device whilst on a forecourt." Perhaps if you have a heated conversation the petrol vapours might ignite. :raised_hand:

Anyone tried and confirm this works?

I remember getting the free fiver last time and it worked with no probs. Just did it again, free petrol should be mega heat

Great, all signed up, now just found out my local doesn't support fill up and go, according to the app.

Thanks OP! Heat added!

I thought you weren't meant to use your mobile near a petrol pump in case the electric discharge from you mobile sets fire to the petrol fumes.

Can you use this multiple times ?

Thanks OP!! I have actually filled yesterday but will come in handy during next visit. Any idea when this expires?

Edit: selfresponse: 31 Oct.

I've registered to give it a go anyway as a free fiver is a free fiver

Does this not look like to everyone that you just pull up at pump and fill up and then drive off without paying?
I take it it from reading how it works that you don't have to go in to shop at all and thus no receipts or anything.

Thanks OP

Cheers OP. I downloaded the Shell Fill and Go app when it first came out and found that it never worked in or near Shell forecourts...hopefully it has been revamped and I won't be embarassed trying to pay this time :wink:

Not bad for nowt.....thanks OP!

Thanks! :grin:

Thanks :grin:

Awesome been waiting for this to roll around again.

Is this a one time £5 off offer? Don't get the last bit about 4,000 credits

thanks. I have signed up to fill up and go and linked my paypal. will be using it soon.

Hmm, so now we've to stand around petrol stations fiddling with our mobile phones?! I imagine that will go down a treat!

Cheers op

also get 200 free points (£1) when you register a new shell card online, then you get an email the next day for 250 free points on your first fill up of £35

Thanks OP

Typical no shell offers in northern Ireland
