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.

This week, my S&S (NJ) does not have bonus points on Macy's gcs, but rather 7x on Express and 5x on "Game On" gcs. I've never seen these before but they appear to be like a "Happy" gc but for online gambling sites. I suspect there is a good couch MS opportunity here. They say "Enter as Credit" in the front and are issued by BH/Pathward.
ETA - forgot to mention $4.95 fee
ETA2 - went back to take a closer look this morning, cards have a $100 max. So basically, the GO points pay the fee. After that, you'll eek out a little profit redeeming for gas, and do a little better of course, with a BCP or Gold. Not sure if that's worth dealing with the online gambling companies. Although, I still think there's a good couch MS/MSR opportunity here if you're looking for some grocery spend. Nothing I'm looking for atm, so I'm not going to be the DP, but maybe this'll be useful to someone else.

Not the most exciting thing in the world, but Fuel Rewards sent me a link to get 20 cents off on fuel on Tuesday (9/20). Since I'm somehow still a Gold member, that's a quarter. I'm travelling this week, so I'm going to try to remember to fuel up that day.
Are there any other promos to easily juice my discount that day? I don't buy much Shell gas these days.

Started checking the other pages in the weekly ads since gc is dry. New accounts get 500 points and 1 package of angus chuck roast is 500 points, that's $1 off per gallon and some meat. It's not great but okay plus you can check out if there's other stuff you wanna eat. I don't know if giant flex account and fuel rewards check for legitimate phone numbers.

So for next week Giant has an interesting card for earning choice points. Game On card. They can be used for funding on sports betting websites. Each card has different participating online casinos. Anyone have experience with them? Like fund them with this cards and then withdraw it to your bank account. Can it be as simple as that?
