***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.

Any other tips & caveats?
The targeted offers come about once every 1.5 weeks or so. Doctor of Credit has a post on his site going into the details of the rough schedule so you have an idea of when to keep an eye out for them. They tend to not send any offers out for a few weeks after everyone gets their eBucks certificates (though I think that didn't hold this past cycle), so not a bad idea to use up any remaining GCs in the month before that happens.

When a new targeted offer is reported, DoC usually does a post on it and shares a list of all the gift card deals currently available at eBay.

I see everyone saying Giants points are running 3/4-3/10, but when does stop and shop run theirs? Is it the week before giant? If so then stop and shop should run their program next week.

is this you guys?

It's hard finding any gasoline gift cards on Ebay selling for less than or equal to their value. Some $100 cards are going for $115-$125, even more. Is this FT's trying to liquidate their Ebay gift cards? Same with Visa gift cards. I don't know why anyone would pay so much more then the gift cards are worth.
What am I missing?

I can assure you that the Stop&Shop/Giant crowd isn't big enough to matter on ebay. And why would they be buying GAS gift cards?

There were a lot of discounted gas cards on ebay a few days ago, as mentioned in the blogs. I personally didn't buy any because we have this better deal at Stop&Shop.

Remember those gas points expire w/n 30 days... spread out your spending Fri-Thursday, fill up your tank for 37 days for free.

I feel like all of us are just ready to pounce on March 4th, even though it's just a speculation (a good one!).

My Honda may get premium gas, just because it's soooo much cheaper now. LOL

Cheers,
