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.

Don't worry, I have a few evening trips to S&S planned as well. Next up, the Flyertalk Stop & Shop Do, where we stroll through the store, maximizing our $15 coupons, and discussing the relative value of free groceries over free miles.

My store had boxes of Kashi bars on sale for $3 each. They also had $4 off when you get 4 boxes and then each box had a $1 coupon taped to them. 4 boxes ended up costing $3x4 - $4 -$4...$4. I am now stocked up on Kashi bars for the entire family for the next several month. Also there was some olive oil on sale for $6.02 and the store had a pile of $1 off coupons on the shelf. $6.02 x 3 - $3 in coupons, cashiers got a good laugh out of 3 bottles of oil for 6 cents.

Someone couple pages back was suggesting they'd be spending $5k/day on GCs during this deal. Wonder where all those coupons went.

Was it reusable at self checkout?

yes it was at Giant PA. That's the only way I redeemed it. Unfortunately I didn't max it out like others, maybe 23-25 coupons for the entire two weeks.

If you like discounted groceries, the Albertson's stores (including Safeway and Acme) have a promo that gives you a $10 grocery coupon if you buy certain GCs this week, including the fixed MCs. But since you have to buy $25 in groceries to redeem the $10 coupon, it's not particularly worthwhile unless you'd be shopping there anyway.

Fixed value MCs are probably carrying $5-6 fee and max out at a $100. Eats quite a bit of the $10 savings, and then you're stuck liquidating low value GCs.

Self checkout machines usually ask for the coupon to be put in a coupon box slot. Now, it will probably assume that any piece of paper you put in is the coupon and let you keep the one you've scanned, but that's pretty low IMO.

That's also theft, so be careful.

doesn't the coupon expire after 1 or 2 week?
