I was stuck paying for mid grade recently in Leesburg. So you left a CC inside, get the pump activated, pump the gas, go back inside, enter your phone number/Giants card, and then the discount shows? I'm wondering if that's what happens at all the Shell's and just not many of them understand it. Where was your shell in NOVA? I might try that process with a light fill up just so I'm not stuck with 35 gallons at reg price.

I was able to get $2.20/gallon discount in my nearest Shell Gas station (NYC) but the pump mysteriously stopped after pumping just 7 gallons. Has anyone experienced this problem?

The cashier had no clue and asked to try again from the start. Obviously when I retried the rewards were gone.

Same thing happened to me the last two times at two different shells. Both times got about 12 gallons and then it shut down on me. Fortunately I have a stop and shop with an attached gas station nearby so planning on using that one next time.

This is an example of YMMV. I use 2 different known "don't care" stations. Paid $1.37 for 35 gallons last week. With prices under $2.20, I do have to pay attention and not go over the price for my local stations. The one time I tried buying $2.19 gas with $2.20 discount, the regular stayed at $2.19. I went to mid grade and simply pay attention now.

Lots of gift cards this week it looks like. No Visa but lots of store cards.

Giant rewards system down so YMMV if you go to Shell to film up now. I called and verified and it's been down for the last 20-30 minutes. In NOVA.

Thanks! Wife just called me in a panic.

It is the one in Warrenton. In Gainesville, they still charge .10 a gallon, tried the same method with them and it didn't work. I didn't leave a cc, they just turned it on. Other than that, what you said is the method. If you are near Leesburg head down 15 to the Giant gas station just on the PWC border.

I'm glad my post was helpful :-).

Thanks for the info. The system was back up and running. The shell in Ashbrun was $2.339 and it charged me $0.139 which I can live with.

By "it didn't work" does that mean you got stuck paying the full price or just the $0.10.

Giant/shell is back up in running in NOVA.

Do many of you use the Giant app?

I noticed that my Giant app would not load any account information and am wondering if that is something we can go off to know the points won't work properly at the pumps. This is my first time to notice that possible relationship but it could be a good indicator outside of calling the Giant number. I checked the app and my account information was there with rewards earned again so I went and tried and sure enough it worked. This might at least some from the aggravation that I've read about a number of times on here with the dime discount.

The Giant PA site doesn't show your points when Shell is down it seems like. I noticed that earlier.

We'll buy $2-3 worth of gas to get home & hit a Shell in the am. Plus I keep a spare 5 gal container in the garage just in case.

Just wanted to check, what is the experience of redeeming S&S points outside jersey?

I was in PA (around Allentown route 78) this weekend and stopped at one of Shell station (1132 S Cedar Crest Blvd, Allentown, PA 18103), went inside to ask does S&S rewards works here. Cashier said only Rewards that works is Shell Reward. At the Pump there was no option to select S&S reward. Just one line enter your reward number I believe it was Shell Reward number as Cashier said.

Just now, I read S&S faqs regarding redeeming outside jersey, It says scan your tag. I am confused scan where at the cashier or there is something at pump where I can scan tag. Or is it just that particular Shell station was not enrolled in S&S reward program. As I came to couple of Shell in jersey that says there don't take S&S reward.

Actually I am planning trip to Florida next month and wondering if S&S gas reward program can pay for my gas. :)

Every Shell I have used does not have a scanner but you have to manually enter the account number. There is a separate option on the home screen to enter your s&s number. It has to be a participating Shell you can look them on their website under find a participating gas station

I just glimpsed the scanned S&S circular. It doesn't look like they're giving the typical 4x or 5x gas points for the GCs this week -- Its a $10 off $100 in spent on those GCs.

I couldn't make out the fine-print from the scanned circular so I don't know if any gas points will be associated w/the GC purchases.

GCs pictured: Cracker Barrel, Domino's, Ebay, Fandango, GameStop, Google Play, LL Bean, Fridays, Tracfone, Chili's/Maggiano's/On the Border/Macaroni Grill
