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.

I'm noticing that all the Giants around me are dropping the US Bank MCGC for shiny new MB MCGCs. These new ones don't seem very useful. Is everyone else seeing this as well?

Well, I suppose I need to try out more things to be able to provide a definitive answer for what they do and don't work for. But, for example, they were failing at the Walmart MO whereas the old MCs worked. I hadn't thought of resetting the PIN - maybe it needs to be manually set.

last 4 works for me

Happy GC is a crappy new GC range that can only be used at a very limited number of stores. A worse version of the 'Everywhere' VGCs.

Wanted to try the Happy GC for a small amount since it's 8X and no fee. However, when I went to S&S, there's a sign that states only the Happy Lady and Happy Dining cards qualified for 8X despite the ad in the circular stating "Any Happy Card."

The store put a sign by the Happy Cards that was specifically typed out, stating the promo is only good for the Lady and Dining, so it probably would be difficult to argue. I didn't make a purchase since I saw the sign and didn't want to bother with it.

Giant PA ad calls out the Happy Lady and Dining. Not sure which giant this open ad was from. You could still get the points if the picture on the ad from the store for the week (not the sign) says 'Any happy'.

Which Happy Card were you thinking about getting. I was thinking about getting the lady card and saving it until bed bath and beyond has a Visa gift card rebate
