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.

Mississippi
Montana (very limited stations displayed)
New Hampshire
New York
North Carolina

I currently have $1.43 on fuel rewards. Local Shell which I always use, handed attendant (NJ) fuel rewards card, gas started pumping at $3.05 (no discount). Not sure what happened, how can I be sure of discount before fuel is dispensed ?

Thanks folks!

.03/100 is better than nothing I guess since I’ll be going for the 1.50/gal, but man is it disappointing for them to revert back so soon after fixing it. Hopefully they’ll bring it back again soon..

Still haven't received my FR rewards from my S&S purchase on 6/1. Wonder if is due to the change they made of the promotion. I've been receiving the rewards within 2 business days last few weeks.

watch and read the screen on the pump when everything is being inputted. I dont believe the whole $1.43 can be used its usually in lots of $.10 in your case $1.40. It should say after your SnS/Giant card # is inputted how much you will save per gal and thats before you swipe a CC or Shell GC. As a last resort once the handle is removed from the cradle check the price under the button that will be pressed with the octane # on it it should show in your case 1.65, if it says 3.05 tell to CX the transaction and not pump any gas

i haven’t gotten any response to my message, which was sent via the fuel rewards app. i believe they claim to have a 3-5 business day turnaround; i’m still within that timeframe.

if i don’t hear back, i’ll call on monday.

Thanks alot, much appreciated. For some reason, my local spot, wasnt working correctly yesterday (I verified available points also, online app) & maybe pump gas at the most 2 or 3 times a year, so had no clue. Thanks again.

Nice offering this week. All gift cards besides visa/mc/amex/s&s are 4X points. I did a test this morning just to see if it would work with shell gc and indeed.....4x credited!

How long does it take for the 0.15/gallon per $100 for using MC CC take to post to your FR acct? It has been 3 days since purchase, and still nothing.

I don’t think it’s going to happen.
