THIS IS A NEW THREAD FOR 2018. The previous thread is here.
***If you buy gift cards outside promotions, you will earn ZERO points.***



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.

You can earn gas points from both regular grocery shopping and gift card purchases (promotion only).

The grocery reward points (Go Rewards or Flexible Reward) can be transferred to either gas points (Fuel Rewards) or grocery points. The conversion rate is 100 points = $0.10/gallon or 100 points = $1 saving in grocery.

- - - - - - - - - -

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 behavior 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.

My purchase at S&S on Sunday still hasn't posted on my FR account. I know T&S state points post in 5-7 business days, but the points used to show up in just a few days before. Anyone else experience such a delay?

That's not good news..I'm looking at my transactions and they're saying: "MasterCard Default issuing site: $0" with a "Thanks for being a member. Nothing earned on this trip."

Same here. Multiple purchases at multiple stores and nothing yet.

For those who don't see purchases posting, is that just GC purchases or regular grocery purchases as well? I do see some progress under 'Mastercard Bonus / Mastercard Grocery Offer', but I have not purchased any GCs using my MC since the end of March.

non gc mc purchases post but through grocery rewards. Could be a system error. No mc grocery post to mc program

Same thing here. I was thinking it might be because I may have hit the max last time, though someone on here has said the max does not mean anything. I just opened a new FR account and am going to try with that account today with a GC purchase. I will also make a grocery purchase separately to see if either or both post to the new account. I did get a new MC for my husband too attached to the new FR account.

Grocery purchases are posting for me, but not GC purchases. I almost always purchase my GC at the service desk, think that would have anything to do with it? No issues during the last promo.

There's really no evidence to make any conclusions. I'm going to call in once 7 business days have passed. GCs are not mentioned in the T&C so hopefully this gets cleared up.

It's strange. I received points for MC purchases up until 04/20, and then nothing since then. The FR black Friday.

I'm having the same issue as many others here. The last MC promo to hit my account was from a visit on April 13. And that one only posted at an earnings rate of 3 cents per gallon. Many GC and non-GC purchases since then, and nothing.

are you saying grocery purchases are posting via the mc fr program or through the grocery side of the program. Most here are stating no fr points being awarded for the mc rewards at grocers.

For anyone contacting FR they request copies of receipts. Gonna be like the D/AP program. I’ll submit some trim tomorrow. If anyone has gotten the MC FR let everyone know.
