American AAdvantage and Fuel Rewards (Shell’s loyalty program) announced a partnership that offers new customers a one-time reward of 100 AAdvantage miles and all customers 2 AAdvantage Miles for every gallon of fuel purchased up to a 20 gallon limit per fill up.
The biggest caveat is that Fuel Rewards members will be forfeiting their Gold (5¢ off per gallon) or Silver (3¢ off per gallon) status. Given the valuation of AAdvantage miles and the current price of fuel, this is not a great deal. That said, it is perhaps worth one fill up to earn the 100 miles for those new members who can then quickly revert back to normal savings preferences. Full details below.

Might be good for people who’re getting reimbursed for fuel expenses. With no compelling incentive to lower the fuel cost…miles are a bonus. May be unethical to do this, for some.
Thanks for sharing this article. I also agree with you on this
