***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 was just looking at the FR card. But using a linked Citi double cash yields exactly the same result, so I'll stick with it. Well, part is gas rewards and part is the cash from Citi. I sort of like cash which gets ACH'd into my credit union twice a month.

FR card would yield 5% in gas plus 3% in gas. so 8% of gas.
If I'm reading it right, it should stack.
If you use alot of gas could be compelling to get. Too bad there is no sign on bonus.

Just went through all my cards and they have now all been converted to VISA
I linked and used my Ink Bold Mastercard this weekend to try for the 15c Stop and Shop promo on FR, but the terms indicate small business cards are excluded. I'll wait a few days to see if it ends up posting. If not, any recommendations for a MasterCard credit card with a good offer right now? A friend mentioned Amtrak to me.

Ok - thanks for the reassurance. Can you let me know how long it usually takes to post? I made my transaction this weekend and I understand it takes a few days. I'll keep a look out for it. Really need to pump!

Also, consider swapping some Citi card to Double Cash if you have one to spare since Double Cash is a solid spender but never has a bonus.

I've seen some people say theirs have posted as fast as 2 days. For me, it's been 3-4 I would guess. After the first few times I had enough points for gas that I didn't keep checking back twice a day

Jetblue 60k is all time high for this card. 1st year AMF never waived: https://www.barclaycardus.com/apply/...&cellNumber=28

I might get that Jet Blue card in my next AoR. I forget if Barclays likes me or not...
I am banned from Citi, so there goes that option...
There's always my Santander Bank Debit card LOL

That reminds me, ThankYou Premier 50k when you spend $4k is an option too (for those who aren't banned from Citi). But it only earns 1x TYP at grocers, whereas the Jetblue card earns 2x at grocers.

RE: Barclays, how sensitive are they to MS?
I've only had one other barclays card in the past - Aviator Red which I have closed a few years back. I don't have a "great" relationship with Barclays

Im sure there are folks who charge tons of GCs everyday,Im not comfortable with that at least a supermkt among other locations, I also do a couple of other things 1 being use more then 1 CC per visit so Im not getting only 1 GC at a time. Each person should do what they are comfortable with and feel they can explain away if the fraud dept looks into it. Now if till now I charged crazy #s on the CC every month non MSing that would allow alot more MSing to be done, but if a CC has been used for low amounts in purchases or is brand new, Id rather take it slow and sure then to be shut down
