***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.

I looked over the years, I never seen one in PA that worked, and I go to PA a lot. The easiest way is to go to the website and look up locations. Second way is when you pull up to a Shell look for a sign that has a giant S&S Trademark and "10c, 20c, 30c off and more" language about gas. All Shells that participate have this sign in NJ. Many Shells DO NOT participate, so you need to make sure you pull up to the one that does.
Enjoy!

Hello, has anyone ever tried to use Giant Gas points in different states? I have about $47/gallon off in Pennsylvania that will expire at the end of this month that I need to use up. Plan on going on a trip to VA in 2 weeks. Was hoping to use up some points to get down there. Will this work? Anyone try to use PA points in MD/VA?
Thanks

Havent tried PA points in MD/VA but have tried DC/VA points in MD & PA. Worked well so my guess is you should be fine.

Great! That will save me driving around with 5 gallon jugs full of gas lol. Its about a 5-6 hour drive to where I'm going... What are the limits in MD and VA? is it the 20gal $1.50? Just wanna make sure that is still the case. Central PA has no limits thus far.

10X on Staples GCs at Giant/Stop&Shop next week.
http://www.doctorofcredit.com/10x-fu...pshop-martins/
Tempting if you think you could redeem that Staples GC for another gift card at a Staples store (and particularly tempting for folks in Giant PA whose gas program is more lucrative). My experience earlier this year indicates it depends on the Staples cashier: not hard coded to prevent, but frowned upon.

No biggie, but: Went to two Giants in No. Virginia, they didn't have any Staples cards at all. Interestingly, they both had an absolute s-load of Visa and MC $500 cards. Kinda lukewarm on the deal, but still ...

Is the following typical?
At Staples, I purchased a Visa GC using a Staples GC purchased at Giant. Swiped card, clerk got some sort of tender-related message. She said something about entering manually, took my GC and entered number. Sale went through OK after that. Mission accomplished, but with cashier intervention vs. just swiping.

Fuel rewards is down (tried 2 Shell stations) for Giant of MD. What's the process for asking for a points extension? Points expire tonight.

Call Giant’s 1-800 number and tell them the system was down. They gave me an extension a few months ago when my Shell ran out of regular fuel.

Also, are you sure the cards work between divisions? I tried my Giant DC card in PA (at a combo fuel+supermarket location off US-15) a few years ago. It didn’t work in-store or at the pump.
I found this for Giant PA. I reckon it will work for all brands.
