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.

Yeah, I saw that tonight on the doctorofcredit. I suspect the timing is very good for many folks playing this game as they're probably running out of gas about now.

Just to update, FR finally did award me the points after emailing the receipt. Expect it to take longer than the 3-5 business days they say it's going to take.

What is the best way to unload MC GCs? PO is dead and WM has issues with these, correct?

is expiration June instead of May31? If so it may be best to wait until late May to get the points through end of July

Expires end of September so I wouldn't worry about it. Also if you start your dispute now I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't post until June anyway.

Do they require the Giant receipt or can you submit a screenshot of your Mastercard statement showing the transactions? I did a spring clean and trashed the Giant receipts.

they just asked for receipts which i had. by the way I believe it's recommended you NEVER throw out any receipts related to MS because the IRS could do an audit three years from now and you might need to demonstrate that all those MO deposits aren't from actual income. Just put everything in a shoebox.

No mention about that. It seems like new purchases still aren't tracking.

Now that would be one big shoe box... maybe a large crate would be necessary or a an extra bedroom closet?

Cheers,

I just called FR stating I haven't received any points for the MC linked offer. The rep actually said that I'm the "first person" to notify them about this issue.

i have lateral file cabinet drawers full of receipts/cards. One thing to note is MOs can come back as insufficient funds 3-4 months later. It’s not fun if not organized.
