Does anyone know if debit cards auto drain at S&S? Searched the thread and saw only one post about this, so just wanted to confirm.

If you use them as "credit", yes. If you use as "debit", no.

i feel like an idiot not knowing this, but i'm assuming "auto drain" refers to when your total at the register is larger than the remaining funds on your card - the register will automatically max out the remaining balance on the card, and then prompt for remaining payment?

Correct.

I have found that *sometimes* debit will auto drain if the difference is small, e.g., register tries to debit $5, card only has $3.

Ahh ok, thanks. Found out for myself today, before seeing this post, that they do not auto drain when selecting debit.

Well, at least you don't have to worry about loading them to your Bluebird account. :)

Ebay would be a great deal, if it hadn't been so easy for flyertalkers to "buy" ebay money at a deep discount this past year. But if you've used that up, or want more, $400 in ebay GCs can get you 35 gallons of free gas. A good deal, and one you can even share with "normal" friends.

These wouldn't be bad for anyone looking to get a special gas can/pump. Although there's no reason to get a motorized pump.

I used my S&S gas discount at a Shell in RI last November.

Anyone seeing any GCs for Jan 22? It looks like a bad scan on livingrich this week or none avail coming Friday.

Only thing I saw with gift cards was buy a 20 pack of Coke and a $25 gift card to participating locations and get $5 off. Saw the same scan as you though.

Same with Giant PA, nothing this week.

I bought $1000 in eBay GC as Giant yesterday, forgot to scan my bonus card, so they credited 5,000 points to my account. I went to another Giant and bought $950 in eBay GC and received 6,250 gas points, which is 1,500 more than I should have received. The receipt said that I received 4,750 bonus extra rewards points, then in my points summary it said, "Earned this visit: 6,250. Total Points: 11,250". I'll take it but I wonder if that was just a glitch at that store or would have I gotten more had they scanned my card at the first Giant too? I did buy some VGC's but there's no points for that.

New S&S app looks like a much better design

Stolen eBay cards
 

I purchased $1,500 in eBay gift cards on Thursday and they were stolen out of my car in my driveway. Not a good idea, I know. They also took the activation slips. I have the receipt. Any suggestions on what to do here? I'm going to go to the store tomorrow and see if they can reprint the activation slips.
