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.

They say you can use them with the Walmart app now. The system seems to work similar to the other gas station apps.

I'll be trying it soon. My family was targeted by AMEX for a lot of those Walmart AMEX offers, so I've picked up several discounted Walmart gift cards. I used them for gas on a recent roadtrip iin the Southeast, but there was certainly a bit of a learning curve in finding (and differentiating) between Walmart's own fueling stations, Sams Club and the two different Murphy brands. Things work differently at each. My pro tip is to load your Walmart gift cards in advance to their app, but also retain the GC in case you need it elsewhere.

Were you able to get the gift card working? A user on doctor of credit wasn't able to use the gift card as payment.

BTW, I have bought some Happy Pack & Go gift cards that can be used at Chevron/Texaco (and Airbnb) for 15% off using that AMEX offer. But obviously a 15% discount on gas isn't fantastic, and they have few stations in the Northeast.

That's actually the part I don't get. Meta has still been willing to fund promotions (given that Staples and Office Depot still run them, presumably paid for by Meta). And with $5 gas, the "value" of these rewards seems higher to me.

I've had to change my tune with my Tesla friends. Back in the good ole days with no limit and 35 gallons, I remember paying 1.9 cents a gallon all the time. I'd use that to snicker at my Tesla owning friends, comparing cost per mile. Heck, my Jeep Wrangler cost less than their Model 3. Now, it's costing me 3 times what the Tesla costs per mile in my Crosstrek.

Receipt shows zero point, asked rep to manually add it on. Showed them the promo on the weekly flyer, they are still hesitate to add; been questioned by two reps for 5 min, and they all feel suspicious about my request, even trying to scare by saying will report to corporate. This is Giant Food at Sterling VA next to Route 7, should never visit this store again.
