The thread for 2018 is here.
***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.

Thief will probably try to use the card right away so I'd try to get in touch with store / corporate ASAP.

How long did you leave it in the car for? Were you followed? That's almost like a thief hitting the lottery. What's the probability of a petty crime turning into a $1500 score.

That's tough, and sorry to hear. It's one of the hazards of this hobby that most don't talk about.

Just a question, not a criticism, were your doors locked?

I wish you luck.

eBay gift cards are linked to a paypal and eBay account. If you can indeed get reprints of the activation, call the eBay number on the back of the card. If someone tried to use them, they will know who it is.

I drove 2 hours straight from the store to my ski place in another state, so unlikely I was followed. I stopped at a grocery store up there, then to my driveway which I would be highly surprised if someone came to my car there. I think it must've happened at the grocery store if I accidentally left my car unlocked, but the store doesn't have any surveillance and the parking lot was a zoo so someone opening my car would have probably not stood out. I was dumb about it and they were sitting out on my console. I didn't realize they were missing til the next day.

Ask to look at surveillance. Also, call ur CC immediately to report them stolen. You may or may not have protection against that with your CC terms. Talk to all of them asap. If they are smart they will sell them via craigslist or some other cash so as not to register them. You might check craigslist or eBay for sellers of $500 cards that would be located in any of the towns/regions the theft could've occurred.

Just another reminder to be vigilant! I keep a lunch bag in my car to put any MS related stuff into if I have to leave my car. If I have to leave it more than an hour, that bag goes into my trunk. Although I feel that might make me a target if anyone sees me transfer it there.

Also, goes without saying, but do not leave your car without locking. Luckily my new car has a key where if I walk more than 5 feet away, it auto locks.

I made the same comment in another thread. Who does it really help to cut the threads off? Is it because FT's forum software is cruddy and can't handle lengthy threads?

Don't really care for gas points, but just looking to buy some $500 gc that can be reloaded into Bluebird. I want to confirm Giant has those gc and accept cc for purchase?
