***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.

Changes updates in their "Terms and Conditions",
"Gas Rewards Change Effective 8/8/16: For every 100 points, you’ll get 10˘ off/gallon, $1.50/gal max. savings on a single fill-up to 20 gallons. Review these changes and revised program terms here."
Rest of the website still shows $2.20 on 35 gallons.

You'd need to eat a lot of pizza to get free gas.
This week's Sears deal might be the last hurrah under the old rules. But it's definitely a YMMV thing about buying gift cards with gift cards at Sears. I can tell you that the registers aren't hard coded to reject it. What your individual cashier will say is unpredictable in my experience.

I tried three Sears several months back... one was a definite no (tried different cashiers), second Sears was generally no (though, had one cashier allow it), and a third was okay with it in the past but recently started to disallow it. Also tried a Kmart -- cashier didn't allow it either.
Based on that I didn't jump this deal.

Is this company-wide? I know it was the policy at some locations.

There are big signs at the entrance of all my local S&S stores saying $1.50 max and 20 gallons max. Price Chopper has 20 gallons max but no max on $ off per gallon. In addition, when there is no incentive, any gift card (besides amex, visa,mc, price chopper) give you a point per dollar just like other groceries.

Yup the days of free/almost free gas are essentially gone with the changes. No more hoarding up with the 5 gallon plastic tanks.

Has anybody tried to combine the stop and shop gas points and fuelrewardsdining. Can you swipe two cards and get both bonuses. Up until now i did not need more than $2.20 a gallon now with a limit of $1.50 can you add the dining bonus?
