***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.

Got two Visa Kevlar GCs yesterday, 2k pts posted as expected. Today I got two more Kevlars at a different store and only 1k points had posted - CSR had to manually add another 1k pts. What I did notice is that today I got two different Kevlars, on the receipt one is listed as "VISA KEVLAR VAR" and the other one is "KEVLAR VAR". Two cards from yesterday were listed as "VISA KEVLAR VAR".

They were all 'KEVLAR' (black) ones, the difference was the dates the cards were valid by. Bought a couple colorful ones yesterday (not balloon ones..with some outdoorsey stuff on them) and got all the points I expected.

I have a question regarding Shell gift cards. I have a bunch of $25 ones that I got for the 5x last week.
I was thinking about using them to pay for transactions with gas points, but I am now wondering what will happen when I enter my gas points, reduce the price and then the balance on the gift card runs out... can I top up with another gas gift card? Or will the transaction end?
I looked up how to combine shell gift cards, but it seems like a very complicated process.... Also, I thought using a shell gc affords the lower "cash" price? But I was charged the credit price...
Thoughts anyone?

Though since FR came I only pay 38c per fill, so a $25 Shell card would last me a long long time
Shell GC does not get the cash price at all stations in my experience

When the Shell GC balance hits Zero, the transaction ends. So if using gas points, I never use Shell GC unless I have enough balance to cover 20gal

Update: FR on my Ink MC posted! It does take a few days, but now I have enough to always have some available to take off additionally at the Shell stations.
This promo should last me through the expiration date as I don't think I can pump over 50 times in 3-4 months... "FREE" gas minus VGC fees!

Heads up - beginning 12/8 S&S will have 10x gas points on Merchant GCs. The ad says VGC, MC and AGC are excluded, but give it a whirl and see what they code at.

Looks like Giant PA is 10x at Best Buy, Bass Pro, Regal Cinema, and Chili's/Macaroni Grill/Maggiano's/On the Border.
