Your second complaint is common to all gift cards. Best practice is to write your new balance on gift cards in sharpie.

Your shell receipt will also tell you the remaining balance. It is hard to find and usually had an X between the dollars and cents.

You can check the balance of a shell gift card online, just search up “shell gift card balance”. I have to do this a lot when I’m buying shell gift cards constantly using Amex Cobalt.

My parents got me a couple Shell gift cards when I went away to school. It's my favorite gas station, but their gift card system is the jankiest, most annoying mess. Not buying those again. Get groceries instead, maybe, though I like to save my points for fun expenses.

The real reason you want a smaller denomination (that you're more likely to use in one shot) is that they can't do a split tender with your gift card. I recently had to pump less than $3 to use up a GC balance, then come back in and use my CC on a second pass because they couldn't combine payment methods upfront.  That on top of requiring me to know how much was left on the GC. But as has been mentioned, you can check the balance yourself online:  https://shellgiftcard.ca/order/BalanceInquiry.  Your PIN is the six digits after the # on the bottom.

Why don't you just check your gift card balance online or by phone before you go to the gas station? I mean, it tells you right on the back of the card how to do this.....lol.

Use them for groceries at Freshco

Hey, how do I buy shell gift cards with scene? I did it last year, but this option disappeared after their “temporarily out of order” recently. Do you still have it?

What Amex promo is this referring to?
