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.

Southern CA

Some member has reported success using SS/Giant points through FR linked account in Northern California.

Does any one have success in Southern California? I had trouble getting discount applied in LA.

I tried to use my Giant points (via Fuel Rewards account) in Southern California this week, did not work. Will try up in Northern Cali in a few weeks.

So if you're a big Dominos pizza eater, a $100 GC will get you 1000 gas points. Not too bad.

The best to check if the points earned through Giant/SS will work anywhere is by checking locations ont he FR website or app. It shows locations, current price, and any discounted price. When my mom was traveling cross country, I checked locations for her. Seems stations north of Fresno usually work.

I'm going to be driving in Alaska next month. Getting a buck fifty off gas in a state as vast as Alaska would be nice. When I go to the fuelrewards.com website and type in, say, Fairbanks, I get a bunch of participating gas stations. Is it safe to conclude this participation is real?

I think something has changed with Giant...bought 2x $500 VGC yesterday at a Northern Virginia location, scanned my Bonuscard, and got zero fuel points as reflected on receipt. Filled up this morning at a participating Shell and only got the 5 cent Fuel Rewards discount. In June and July I consistenly got $1.50 off per gallon. Too good to last?

For S&S you don't receive fuel points on GC's unless there's a promo that week. You've been receiving fuel points on GC purchases regularly? When no promo running?
