THIS IS A NEW THREAD FOR 2018. The previous thread is here.
***If you buy gift cards outside promotions, you will earn ZERO points.***
![](https://espresso-flavoured.github.io/images/GiantStopShopLoyalty.svg)
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.

The unadvertised gas points promo worked for me at Stop and Shop in NY with a purchase of 1K (3k gas points) worth of VGC's. I believe Thursday will be the last day it will work and the CSR doesn't know about it, so they wouldn't be able to add points onto your account.

Anyone ever get a registered letter from S&S sent to them? Considering they spent $6 to send it to me and the to and from addresses appear to be hand written my curiosity is peaked. Informed delivery is giving me anxiety!

S&S gas 10X on "participating" gift cards. Yah, there's the pictures of a bunch of junk. Will others work. Just tried Amazon.....nope. Wondering if happy cards will work. If anyone wants to test, please post what you find. Thanks.

If one happy card is pictured, sometimes they all work. No happy cards pictured though, so I doubt any will work for this week. Still, there is a decent chance of a Happy week popping up before Christmas.

On a somewhat related note, I encountered a "new" gift card log yesterday at Giant-PA. Previously the log asked why you were purchasing the GCs. The new one didn't. The older one said for more than $2,000 excluding activation fees. This log didn't have anything spelled out about the fees, so they filled it out for my purchase of 4x $500 since the fees put it over the $2k.
Is the $5000 limit actually posted somewhere visible to the customer? I can't recall it being posted on the wall near their posted coupon policy, etc. I know I've spied it listed on the log sheet(and read it here), but I've never actually been told anything about it, probably because I've never tried buying more than $5k. Guessing the letter is informing of the limit.

Someday when the limit is less than $5000, we are going to be amazed at how long they let it be this high.
