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.

My $15 VISA coupon did not get removed from my account. I'll make sure I use it today.

Did you have multiple S&S cards registered to the same address and used the $15 coupon on one and the offer was removed from the other S&S cards?.

They did not post automatically for me this morning at 10 a.m. eastern standard time. Points had to be added manually by the CSR.

I don't recall what the exact steps are. I remember it was mentioned in some thread a while back. Can you tell me the exact steps or provide the link to that thread if you know it?

Thanks. Your post motivated me to stop at a S&S in CT at about 2 pm. My points automatically posted as well -- they did not post the day before at the same store. So I'm guessing the problem is now fixed.

So yesterday, I got points automatically for my 4x500 MGC purchase. The manager who said the below bs was there bagging at a counter. So I went up to him to show how I got 6000 points for the purchase, mofo didn't even look at the receipt and just said "ok"

When I tried to explain them that yes GC don't earn points regularly and this promo's purpose is exactly to earn purchases on GCs, they weren't having any of it. Bunch of morons.. Higher manager is like what you're doing is not normal, people don't buy this many GC as a regular transaction.

It's not a job where you "care" about this kinda stuff. Just have to hope you find that few that do.

Did you ever get points for your first purchase? If you still have your receipt, you can call the S&S/Giant customer service phone number to get them added.
