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.

Oh, I wasn't talking about the expiration dates... I was talking about the 25cents per gallon. Like, I'm assuming that's actually 25-cents off and not 25-cents (this sadly isn't the 1960's (or whatever decade gas was that cheap... I'm not old enough to remember gas being under $2/gallon LMFAO)

Yup, it's exciting, especially for Giant PA, as you'll be able to use the gas points all the way through the end of July. Of course, at the rate these promos are being offered, maybe that's not so important.

For those interested in free Fandango movie tkt, thru 5/31, buy 6 nutella snack and go ($1 each) and get a $15 worth fandango movie tkt coupon printed. Its actually a nice money maker of sorts.

Just did a redemption in Georgia. Pulled completely out of FR, no $1.5 from S&S. Is it because there is no S&S in Georgia?

Question: May I use my gas rewards points earned from Giant in Northern VA at Shell or S&S stations in Boston area?

I think it just got modified very recently. 3c/gallon basically kills the deal.

I thought this too. At least I have the sears citi master card 10% back for another month. (grocery store, gas station and restaurant purchases . max $300 back. ) It was nice tripping dipping with buying visa/mc cards at Stop and Shop like last week. (visa card s&s 2x/shell mc deal 15c/ citi mc 10% cashback)
