***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.

Also, 12/29 preview is out for Giant. 8x on Nike.
The S&S points are only good for 30 days. However, the Mastercard deal is a separate FR deal so it has a longer expiration, which is good for me. All of my Mastercard deals awarded in December purchases have expiration date of 2/28/18.

Correct. In the list of earned points, it shows the feb 28th date for my MC promo points. However on the main page under the points balance, it is showing my entire balance as expiring 1/6/18, which is 30 days from when I earned my S&S points. Under account activity $3.60 of my points are listed as being from S&S and $7 from MC, which should have a later expiration.

Can someone with additional insight clarify the Fuel Rewards Stop and Shop 15c offer? I'm getting conflicting information from the online promo page and the app.

Online mentions - Offer expires 3/31/18
FR iPhone app mentions - Qualified purchases can be made in store at particiating grocery stores between September 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017.

Which is it?

Since the Mastercard offer ends on the 31st, can I purchase GCs until the 31st? Or if I buy over the weekend, will it not count since the transactions will probably post in January?

I wouldn't sweat it. The small text on the website says:
Mastercard® Grocery Bonus Limited-Time Offer Participation Requirements (8/18/17): Please review the following participation requirements for the Mastercard Grocery Bonus offer (“the Offer”). To be eligible to earn Fuel Rewards® savings through the Offer the following requirements must be met:
You must make all qualified purchases between September 1, 2017 and March 31, 2018.

So strange. The app says ends December 31, 2017, but the small print says March 31, 2018.

How do you see how much of the $125 you’ve earned so far?

I would go with March 31, 2018 since that's what is stated on the Fuel Rewards site under Earn-->Mastercard Offers and in the T&C. To see how much you've earned, go to your Account Transactions and filter it by Card-Linked Offers, unless you use some of the other offers they have on the FR site. I've only used the Mastercard 15cent offer so it was easy to add.

I'm not sure why, my points are showing correctly on the main page. I would call the FR CSR. They were pretty good when I had an issue with the gas station pump not reading my points. I had $9/gallon and went to a Shell and used my card, which showed the $9/gal on the pump. But when I started to pump it reverted back to only 5c/gallon. I called FR CSR and they couldn't figure out why and told me to call them while I'm at the pump next time this happens, which I wasn't going to do. They gave me a free fill up for next time, which was 1.9cents/gal and didn't use any of my $9/gallon.
