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.

Best Buy could fit in that loop without the $5 back. That was long ago.

No, that ended.

It's not hard to resell Best Buy.

Anyone here have a capless gas tank in the car and try to fill with the portable gas cans?. I have a Honda Odyssey and the supplied funnel is a PITA. All of a sudden with the new capless car, all my free gas is up in the air . Will the Tera pump do the work?.

I use a vacuum attachment that is long and sturdy and stick it into the hole, the other end accommodates the Tera pump.

So funny. No joke! I just bought a new truck with capless and I'm thinking the same thing. Next Walmart trip I'm going to hit the funnel aisle to build a new funnel strategy!

You may already know. If not - do not ever put a corrugated tube into the capless. You will be dealing with a broken piece inside gas tank. My friend experienced it few years ago.

Is this for Odyssey or all capless the same size?. Can you post a pic if you don't mind?.

In your trunk by the spare tire there should be a funnel. This is in case you run out of gas and have to fill it with gas can.

That is what i said in my message - using that is a PITA.

The automotive funnels with the long necks from Dollar Tree work great. https://www.dollartree.com/drivers-c...-funnel/252571
The bottle for Heet Gas Line Additive, with the bottom cut off, also works fine.

Anyone buying new gas cans be careful. They are now inserting a plastic filter that prevents the Tera pumps from being inserted.i didn’t look til filling them up with expiring rewards. Bought 4 and will return once I use the gas in them unless I can pry/cut them out.

Starting Friday going for 2 weeks will be 4x points on a small selection of retailer cards for Valentine's Day. Includes Happy Lady. Requires an extra step and additional fees, but still probably worth it for some people for a couple fills to make it through February.
