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.

Georgia
Louisiana
Maine
Massachusetts
Mississippi
Montana (very limited stations displayed)
New Hampshire
New York
North Carolina

From the terms: "You will be forfeiting Gold or Silver status fuel savings with this offer."

The extra 5 cents off per Gallon with Gold is probably worth more than 2 AA miles to most people.

Well, it's officially complete. I received the replacement card yesterday. The complete process took 80 days from the date all requested documents were sent in.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see any kind of gift card deal in next weeks flyer. Nothing, not even crappy ones like Dominos. I don't remember this ever being the case.

ditto.

maybe when the Giant MD/VA/DC and S&S flyers are available they’ll show an offer. I remember a few times they one showed and the other didn't.

Check you SnS balances

I had less then 3k exping on 11/23 and on 11/20 I moved 1500 to grocery and 1500 gas, low and behold it took some from my 11/23 pts and the rest from my 12/1 pts. So when I just checked my acct it showed 1500 exping tomorrow when it should have been exping on 12/1

CS gave me the pts back and said they had some problems this past weekend, so if you cashed out any pts this past weekend check your acct to make sure they didnt take the pts from a date that wasnt exping 1st

Thanks for the headsup. I went in to move some points on Sunday morning and the website and app were down. Perhaps related?

I am hoping giant didn't stop gift card promotions. Can't remember a week where there wasn't a promo on a gift card.

I thought someone already said there was no upcoming promotion for the week of Nov 26th. Are you saying nothing for the week of Dec 3rd, either? If so I would look into loading amazon cards this week.

As someone else mentioned, it has happened before that a GC deal was missing from one chain's flyer but was advertised by the other chains. I had some hope it would be advertised in the S&S or Giant-MD flyer.
