***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.

Does anyone know if debit cards auto drain at S&S? Searched the thread and saw only one post about this, so just wanted to confirm.

i feel like an idiot not knowing this, but i'm assuming "auto drain" refers to when your total at the register is larger than the remaining funds on your card - the register will automatically max out the remaining balance on the card, and then prompt for remaining payment?

I have found that *sometimes* debit will auto drain if the difference is small, e.g., register tries to debit $5, card only has $3.

Well, at least you don't have to worry about loading them to your Bluebird account.
Ebay would be a great deal, if it hadn't been so easy for flyertalkers to "buy" ebay money at a deep discount this past year. But if you've used that up, or want more, $400 in ebay GCs can get you 35 gallons of free gas. A good deal, and one you can even share with "normal" friends.

I bought $1000 in eBay GC as Giant yesterday, forgot to scan my bonus card, so they credited 5,000 points to my account. I went to another Giant and bought $950 in eBay GC and received 6,250 gas points, which is 1,500 more than I should have received. The receipt said that I received 4,750 bonus extra rewards points, then in my points summary it said, "Earned this visit: 6,250. Total Points: 11,250". I'll take it but I wonder if that was just a glitch at that store or would have I gotten more had they scanned my card at the first Giant too? I did buy some VGC's but there's no points for that.

Stolen eBay cards
I purchased $1,500 in eBay gift cards on Thursday and they were stolen out of my car in my driveway. Not a good idea, I know. They also took the activation slips. I have the receipt. Any suggestions on what to do here? I'm going to go to the store tomorrow and see if they can reprint the activation slips.
