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.

Confirmed. Giant in PA, the black carbon fiber ones also posted 4X today. Two separate purchases at different stores. First was 8K for a $2k purchase, second was 20k for a $5k purchase. No manual adjustment, and the points posted automatically.

From what I've seen the last location on that route that giant/SNS points work via FR is the New Market shell

Just some DPs to share. With local S&S, the points posted right away with black VGC. But no points were posted with foreign S&S card. The CSR say the 2nd S&S card is not activated or ......

I tried a local S&S from a friend and it works fine....

If anyone in MD/VA area who wants to try to get this work, PM me....

I had trouble loading partner’s card over the weekend. Was entering phone number. Receipt print out had no “fuel rewards” section. CSRs entered points with normal workaround using same method to access account on master terminal. Curious if anyone else has encountered this?

my points on Friday didn’t post but the receipt at least had the “Fuel rewards” section showing 0 earned this visit and XX total fuel points.

previously some have asked what happens if they notice name discrepancy: when adding points manually both csr’s asked me and said this isn’t you :-).

my partner had no issue loading points to my s&s account.

I got $1k with 4x in the morning and later in the PM only 3x =(
Boy, you must have a fleet or a landscaping business to use up $28 off per gallon (~250 gallons) in the next 6 weeks.. =D
Last time I had that much I had to sell to family and friends at a discount, and even then it was tough, like begging them to get 50c off per gallon.

Using the historical data, can anyone predict when the next Visa/MC deal will likely be? I have New England travel planned in early July and would benefit from some cheap gas.
