The odd thing is this new 30c/gallon reward expires on 5/31/18. The rewards I earned from using the last 15c/gallon per $100 Mastercard offer on the last day are set to expire 6/30/18.
Yes, I made the same purchase on that same date at Giant, and the 30 cents showed up today, too (yesterday, when I posted the MC link, it wasn't there).

Obviously, this is good news. It's not enough to make it worthwhile to purchase gift cards in non-promotional weeks (no more free gas all the time), but it does help a little with the $1.50 per fill-up limit at Giant MD/Stop&Shop.
