***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.

Probably not, but $10 off on $100 isn't so exciting. A lot of us received AMEX offers that enable us to buy $100 ebay gift cards at Staples.com for $75. I'm personally not a buy of ebay money at anything less than 15% off, and I usually want at least a 20% discount.

For those of us who rarely shop on EBay, is there a reason to buy these cards for the gas points? Any PMs are much appreciated.

Purchase other GCs... Unfortunately, one of those "other" GCs which use to be a good way to liquidate is now recently closed off :-(

Doesn't it depend how much gas you use, as I would think 4x points is worth 40 cents per gallon on a $100 purchase, so if you use less than 25 gallons you could be better off with the $10.

I have more rewards than I can ever possibly use even if I stored gas for the entire year. I got sick of gas cans and the smell very quickly. What I don't sell gets used for more or less normal fill-ups of my car, which is usually between 10-15 gallons...

With my gas tank near empty, I googled for next week's circular. Looks like there's nothing new: they're still offering $10 off a future grocery order if you buy certain $100 gift cards. No gift card gas offer. Since I'll be mostly out-of-town next week, I've got one more week before I have to (gulp) buy and PAY FOR my gas!

I made th mistake of using gas cans once when I would get essentially free gasoline up to 20 gallons, and thought I would fill up car and then a couple of gas cans.

Somehow gasoline spilled in the car (I think), and months later it still smells.

Hence be very cautious of gas cans, and at least make sure they can remain upright.

Does anyone know how to get rid of that smell?

It will evaporate if given the chance. If you can take the liner out of the trunk, air it out. If not, if you can leave the car door/trunk open, do that.

The man who installed the furnace in my house spilled some drops of heating oil and told me to put vanilla on it... IDK if that'd work or not. I told him it will evaporate and go away so I didn't bother and can't smell it now (weeks later)

You could try a baking sheet or soda can flat tray with baking soda to just sit in there like a refrigerator. It works on ungodly smells in apartment appliances after evictions... can't hurt to try it on fumes!

Go to advanced autobparts and they have a product that helps but don't expect the no gas smell. Another Option is to stop by ur local fire Dept and ask them for tips.
