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.

In the past did your points post automatically eventually, or did you have to get them to correct it? Ours from yesterday also haven't posted.

Yes, I know that groceries are an option, but don't want to risk my health to save a few hundred bucks in groceries. There are other people that are much more invincible than me who can venture out.
Did either of you have old gas points left when switching over? I don't know if that's the cause, but none of my purchases, whether GCs or grocery spend, are receiving points. Family members who had no old gas points are having their points show up after a couple hours, but mine never show up until they are manually added.

I had points left over, but I don't think that has anything to do with anything. My father who is making the purchases reported that they did not need to adjust for the cards he got today. He got the other ones adjusted manually.

Yes, I had points remaining from the MC promotion.

I purchased 3 cards today (Giant PA) and points posted on receipt. I has also bought three on Saturday and no points posted on receipt. After waiting several hours for it to show up in the app, I went back to the store and had them add the points to my account.

My Stop & Shop purchases are not showing points on the receipt, but points show up in the account in an hour or two.

I'm guessing they won't be coded in yet to automatically post the points, but I saw a display at a Giant-PA yesterday with some new Happy Cards for the holiday season. Probably should start popping up at more locations.

Q for Anyone with 3 or more flex/go point dates.. does you total flex/go point balance show your real total or just the first two dates with flex/go points? I have 30000, but it’ll just show 15000 based on the first two dates and not include successive dates

I first noticed this some time in the past week. The home screen on the app shows my total but if I click on that it shows just the first two added. Under point details all are accounted for.

I am new to this gas reward thing so apologized in advance. I have bought vgc last week and promptly got 6k points due to 3x promo on $2k purchases. I was able to redeem 2k pts for $20 in grocery discount. Today I went to get a fuel at shell station which is FRN participant as per the app and I tried to fill up PREMIUM gas but I didn’t get the $1.5 off gallon after providing them my alt Id (same phone attached to both S&S and FRN). Am I missing a step? I did convert 1500 rewards point for gas rewards before tryin it.
