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.

That's good news, as I just did a couple last big purchases yesterday at Giant. Wonder if they'll extend the promotion another month. Guess I'll find out when I buy on Friday when the $1.50 promotion is back.

Looks like the new mastercard promotion for Q2 is 3c per $100. Or maybe 3c per gallon period.

That essentially ends the promotion for MS.

ive never had a problem with the spend for bonus in the various categories.
Yes, exactly that.

*Reports*

I don't see it mentioned anywhere though... I only see 3c / $100 spent on the website. And even that promotion has fine print from 2017...

Yes it looks like Chuck goofed and confused the previous offer with the offer to link a new MC for a one-time 15c/gal benefit.

Questions from slow child (me): So no current card-linked FR points/discounts from using MC at Giant or Stop & Shop? Which grocery stores qualify for their current "3¢/gal for every $100" offer?

The current card-linked FR points deal is 3c/gal discount per $100 spend, essentially 15c/gal discount when buying a $500 VGC/MCGC, Still helps a bit but it's nowhere near as good as the former 15c/gal discount per $100 spend.

You earn 3c/gallon per $100 spent at S&S/Giant, just like before when it was 15c/gallon per $100. The 15c/gallon promo now is the first time you link a new mastercard to your FR account.
