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 did, had to call in 2 times, the first time they said they added the points but I checked the balance after a day, it never went through. I called again yesterday, they added it and it went through.

For some reason, I got the $15 coupon loaded back in 1 account. So I have 4 accounts. 2 accounts coupon's were used. 2 accounts coupon disappeared but I got one account's loaded back in.

Bought a card this morning using a new (dormant) S&S card bar code. The reward section did not even print. Anyone had like this? Will call them in a couple of days.

Happened to me yesterday, caled them and was tld to call back today (yes CS is open and working today the 4th) took a few mins and the pts were in my acct. Whats funy is that I got some discounts that are gotten only if my card is swiped yet no pts or the section showing them as by you

I was thinking of waiting to push off the exp date but since Im planning on getting some more today didnt want to open a can of worms , as it would mess up their ability to work things out

If the rep checks the receipt, she may just credit you the points according to the receipt day.

Called the rep. She looked up my account and the receipt. Then she credited the points to my account. She has no idea why the reward section did not print and the points were not rewarded. This was the last day of the MCGC sale. So the glitch should have been fixed. But sometimes something just happened for various reasons.

I have Shell FR from Giant/SS that work in VA, MD, NJ, FL, CA, etc

Does anyone know if these work in the upstate NY area like Rochester, Syracuse, Buffallo

Per the app it seems like there is one station out of 10 in the area that will show the lower price but then it is not a shell station. So do we use ALT ID or have to have some FR card etc? The others show NA so I am not sure if that means no discount or they are not reporting prices so it does not show in the app.

Drats! I was hoping we wouldn’t see another Visa promotion until August. I have a ton of points for July and August, so no need for another Visa run.
