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.

New Hampshire
New York

Has anyone received even the .03/100? It’s been five days and it hasn’t posted for me yet.

I've got a purchase from 11 days ago that hasn't posted. I think they're hoping we won't notice/won't bother calling in. Honestly I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble for the low amount of volume I do; I'd only save about $3.

Haven't received the 0.03/100 for this promo or even for the last time it was 0.03/100 back in April. When you call they want copies of receipts. Didn't want too many eyes on my account. Never sent in receipts.

Might want to hold off a few days before contacting them. The new terms state that "rewards will be added to your account in 5-7 business days."

Today is business day 7 from 5/31.

Make sure your card is still linked. I was in the Fuel Rewards app and the card I have been using for months somehow was not linked anymore.

$15 off grocery purchase with $100 GC purchase continues at Stop & Shop 6/15, so probably 4x points at giant.

to update, i received a reply yesterday saying that my case would be escalated to the "advanced support team" so that they can apply my missing points. i'll update again if/when i actually get the points.

also, if i have stop and shop points, how far south am i able to use these? i'll be roadtripping to DC next week; are the shell stations that show up on the stop and shop store locator website the only stations where i can use my points? it looks like the southernmost participating shell station that's close to NJTP is the one at route 33 and lake drive in hightstown, NJ.

i've used points in other states (PA, FL) previously, but those points might have been earned via fuel rewards.

4x again at Giant PA this week is correct.

Weekly ad in Northern VA shows the 4x deal is from 6/8-6/18, not the typical Thursday end.

Made a few thousand purchases @ StopShop for the past 2 weeks with a newly linked Mastercard, still haven't received any FR grocery points. Come on, even for 3 points/$100 grocery purchase, the points are not posting. I think it is officially dead. I don't even bother sending out any receipts any more.

I sent in my receipts last Wed for S&S purchases made on 6/1 and 6/7. FR credited the points to my account today. Good thing is they expire on 8/31, but at 3c/$100 they'll be used before expiration.

Yo can call and plead the case and they will do it as 1 time courtesy. That was the case with Giant PA. The second time, they won't and they have a record of doing it before.
