Jean, I guess I can grasp where you're coming from ... but, on the other hand, I'm confused about your reference to "hoops".
Once you've signed up for the card and linked it to your TR account, the credits are automatic. So, as I see it, the only "hoop" involved is occasionally taking your car to a Shell station and activating the discount by first inserting your Fuel Rewards card before filling.
FWIW, here's how I optimize use of the credits:
You can utilize a maximum of $.50/gal in credits (accumulated over multiple day's play) toward a single fill. Credits can be banked to any amount, but earned credits must be use by the end of the month subsequent to the one in which they were earned.
So I tend to wait until my Fuel Rewards balance is at $.50 (or higher) to hit a Shell and fuel up with my Rewards card. You get $.10/gal per CZR visit in which you accumulate at least 500 tier credits.
(I find that if I play over midnight, with at least 500 tier both before and after midnight, I earn 2 x $.10 credit ... there doesn't appear to be a need to pull you card prior to midnight, but I may be mistaken on this.)
I make it a habit to check my Fuel Rewards account once a week, and when I tip the $.50 threshold, I make a point to do my next fill at Shell.
The savings each month might buy you a fast food lunch. Nothing to write home about, but it's still a tangible benefit over a year's time. (If you don't have a handy Shell station nearby, it's not likely worth driving much out of your way for.)

Does anyone understand the Caesars Fuel Savings thing? They keep sending me emails. Is it more trouble than it is worth?
