***If you buy gift cards outside promotions, you will earn ZERO points.***

Giant MD and Stop & Shop's points now stack with Shell's Fuel Rewards. See more here.
If you link a Mastercard to Fuel Rewards, you will earn an additional $0.15/gal for every $100 spent on anything at Giant/S&S with that card through the end of the year.


Accepted tender: Cash, credit, and debit. Also available are mobile/contactless payment (Apple Pay, etc.) and mobile loyalty (card barcode via app).

Summary
Stop & Shop (S&S), Giant Food Stores (Giant PA), and Giant Food (Giant MD) offer points for purchases which can be redeemed for a discount on the price paid per gallon on fuel sales at Shell and S&S/Giant fuel stations. $100* spend = 100 pts = 10c/gal discount. The particular rules vary between the three brands, and within Giant PA, the rules vary by location. Refer to the bottom of this wiki post for more information or links to official info from each brand.

Feel free to update this Wiki or suggest improvements. The goal is to help all of us spend less on gas!

Additional Information

• A loyalty card is required to take advantage of gas rewards. They look like the above image and can be obtained either online (links at end of wiki) or in-person (at the customer service counter).

• The cards currently on promotion are listed in the current weekly circular and usually change every week. VISA and MC from Metabank or US Bank for $20-$500 (plus $5.95 fee) work. For GCs, if it meets the previous requirements, the packaging (blue, silver, birthday cake, etc.) doesn't matter! Check the issuing bank on the back.

• S&S and Giant (DC, DE, MD, and VA) allow you to redeem up to 1500 points ($1.50/gal) per fuel purchase, and points expire 30 days after the qualifying purchase. With Giant PA, there is no limit to the number of points redeemed at one time.

• Points earned in one program cannot be used in another program.

• Your ID may be required when buying gift cards. Your name and other info may also be recorded for purchases over a discretionary dollar value. Whether you're buying a $100 card or a $5k stack, your experience will vary.

• You can view your account online using the link at the bottom of the wiki.

• It's best to purchase gift cards at the customer service counter, but reports state that a single $500 gift card can be paid for at any register without an issue. Purchases over $1k will require manager authorisation with a physical key, which may slow down the queue. You can go to the Solution Center to save time and make things easier for everyone.

• Giant Eagle and Giant Food are different chains with different ownership, and this thread is not relevant to the former.

• If you have more points in your account than are redeemed for a fuel purchase, then the remaining points will stay in your account until their respective expiration date(s). For example, if you have 2500 points and debit the 1500 ($1.50/gal) maximum, you will have 1000 points left. Similar behaviour if gas is ever below $1.50/gal before discount.

• If you don't receive eligible points with your purchase due to system or human error, you can have them retroactively added by customer service (in-store or by phone). Have your receipt and a copy of the advert. It can take up to 24 hours for keyed points to appear in your account.

Thank you. I do believe Wiki talks about Giant and not S&S, just noticed it here in NJ this time around, didn't notice it in the Wiki.

Cheers,

Where in central Jersey are you? Whereever I fill up, the points don't go through if the gas price is less then $2.20. I always have to get gas that's more than $2.20 to use my rewards.

A tip to skip the manager with a key: Today I went to get a $500 and a new cashier probably didn't know what was going on (from the deer in the headlights look she gave me) and said anything over $200 had to go to customer service. Went over. Blamo. Right through. Handed my S&S card, CC and license and she did the whole transaction in 2 seconds. I find this far better than having the cashier find and call over a manager with a key to go through the whole process.

Don't know about you, but I ALWAYS go to the service counter for any gift card purchases.

It's just easier and I don't get weird looks from the cashier AND the line behind me.

Now it takes the discount at the pump but charges 0.019-0.109/gal.
Yes, Shell. I don't know how that would work because attendant is there outside and don't want to pay out of pocket for full pump if it doesn't work cause I already have too many points and want to burn them before the time expires.

"ATTENTION CUSTOMERS"
"Effective immediately, all purchases of Visa, MasterCard and American Express Gift Cards may only be made with cash or Bank Pin-Based Debit"

Spending 60K a month at Giant and S&S is why things like this don't last. It's a marathon not a sprint.
