You can also earn Flybuys points every time you fill up at Shell Coles Express and choose from a range of rewards when it’s time to redeem them. Not to mention come tax time there’s no need to worry about lost fuel receipts, with the Shell Card offering a single tax invoice and statement making it easier to track every fuel purchase.

Conditions apply, this offer excludes LPG and AdBlue. Shopper docket fuel vouchers do not apply to Shell Card transactions.

Quick facts

  • Save time by linking multiple cards to a single account
  • Use at over 1,250 locations
  • Earn Flybuy points at Shell Coles Express locations
  • Save 6c/l and zero card fees during promo period and 2c/l for regular fuel and 4c/l for premium fuel thereafter
  • Weekly, fortnightly, and monthly payment terms

The Shell Card Fuel Card by Viva Energy is the ideal choice for business who only stick to Shell petrol stations and want simple and easy to understand fee structures. With one of the largest networks, you can find a Shell-branded station Australia wide, so coverage isn’t a big issue even for larger fleets.

Currently, Shell Card has a great promo offer where you can save 6c/l off fuel after joining (for the first 6 months) and a fixed savings of 2c/l for regular fuel and 4c/l for premium fuel thereafter.

The ability to earn Flybuys points is attractive offer, but it’s limited to only Coles Express branded sites. It does, however, include fuel and non-fuel purchases like drinks and snacks. While they accept credit cards like Visa and Mastercard, they don’t automatically draw from them. In May 2022 Shell Card announced their acceptance of American Express and with it allowed businesses to have funds automatically drawn from credit cards directly. This is great news for businesses to continue earning credit card reward points.

Their card management portal is also quite simple and contains a library of tutorials on how to perform common actions, from Downloading Invoices to Restricting Card Usage – you can view this on their YouTube channel. You also get 24/7 access to the Shell Card online portal where you can download all your reports from one portal, which makes it easy for the accounting team come tax time because all the information is in one place. There is currently no Xero or MYOB integration, although apparently, they’re working on it.

Their support staff were fantastic to deal with. They will also try and help negotiate a deal beyond the initial promotional period, especially if you’re business spends over $20,000 a month in fuel, but the deal may not be the same or as good as the initial 6c/l offer.

Security features

  • Control what your employees can purchase on their fuel card.
  • Protected with anti-fraud technology an individual PIN number.

  • Alerts and purchase controls provide security.

  • Set transaction limits on each card.

Fuels offered include: Shell V-Power, Shell Premium 98, Shell Unleaded 95, Shell Unleaded 91, Shell Diesel Extra and Shell V-Power Diesel.

While you can’t use your Shell Card at particular auto or tyre retailers (like Bob Jane etc), if the Shell site has an auto shop attached to it, you can use your Fuel Card there.

Getting the most out of the Shell Fuel Card

To get the most out of the Shell Card you should only use this card at Shell branded service stations or the participating Liberty petrol stations around the country.

Shell Fuel Card Customer Support

Unlike other fuel cards, the Shell Card does not have a dedicated mobile app, but customer support can be reached online or over the phone. When we spoke to a sales representative over the phone, they were very knowledgeable and friendly.

Rewards & Extras

The biggest perk of the Shell Card is its Flybuys rewards. For every $2 you spend whether on fuel or in-store purchases, you can use your Flybuys card. You can’t, however, link a Flybuys card to your account. This is an added bonus for employees because they can use their personal Flybuys cards to earn rewards.
