***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.

Went to a central NJ stop and shop store today to buy a VGC. There is no gas points on the receipts. Anyone else experience the same in other Stop and shop store?

Dawn patrol today in No. Virginia. Plentiful supply, happy hunting.
One glitch: Points credited immediately at one store, but not at another. Manager at 2nd store said "it takes 24 hrs," which it usually doesn't, but I will return if not credited tonight.

There better be no glitching when I go at lunch today! I need a tank of gas for my road trip this evening! I timed my last fillup earlier this week to get me to empty by noon today and I'm JUST ABOUT THERE!

My CSR called gas rewards help desk as none of the gas rewards for today have credited and they said there wasn't a promo today. The store CSR had to tell them there was. Waiting to get this straightened out. Geez.

Similar odd thing for me. Bought 6 x $500 but only got 5000 points instead of 6000. The manager called their points department, and supposedly they will fix it.

I'm going later today so can report on the points glitch.
If there is a glitch, they may make you wait 24 hours before crediting back. The bad news is that it is an annoying waste of time.
The good news is that last time this same thing happened, I got my points credited by the store, and then another official credit showed up a couple weeks later, so I essentially got double bonus points. Those points would be good for July too if the credit doesn't happen until June.

Went to a 3rd Giant location in No. Va. today, got immediate credit for gas points. FWIW, one location had Sunrise cards, the other two had Metabank cards. But split results on the Metas, i.e., one store was immediate credit, other store was not.

Q do all purchases count towards earning gas rewards points?
A Only purchases made with your Stop & Shop card are eligible. Gas Rewards points are not available on purchases of gasoline and other fuels, alcohol, tobacco, money orders, postage stamps, gift cards, lottery tickets, amusement park and other tickets, Western Union wire transfer services, fax and copy machine services, coin operated vending machines, utility payments, prepaid telephone calling or wireless cards, delivery charges, dry cleaning, fundraising activities and donations, returned check service fees, payments toward store charge account balances, personal shopper fees, sales tax, bottle deposits, and any other purchase prohibited by law. Pharmacy purchases in New York and New Jersey do not receive Gas Rewards. Other than in New York and New Jersey, for pharmacy purchases, Gas Rewards are available only on the amount paid by the customer--co-payment amount for individuals with prescription coverage or the cash payment amount for individuals without prescription coverage. Gas Rewards are received in the same manner as purchases for any other product. The payment for pharmacy products may not receive higher Gas Rewards than the payment for other merchandise.

Forgive me if this has already been asked, as I did not find the answer. I have always purchased 2 $500 cards at once. I would like to purchase 3 $500 so I can max my freedom card with one trip. Does Giant in NoVa allow this?

I can't imagine why not. Though I don't have experience at NoVa Giants, I've definitely bought more than 2 at a time in my area. Just give it a shot! Worst case do one at the checkout line and then 2 at the customer service line?
