Topic Wiki

The deal: 2x, 3x, 4x (or rarely, 5x) Gas Points per GC at Stop and Shop and Giant stores. Sometimes it's all GCs, sometimes just one or two types. Be sure to look at the current circular carefully for details

Credit cards CAN now be used to purchase visa/MC/Amex gift cards. :D

You will not get any Stop & Shop points on Gift Cards that are bought when there is no promotion.

You can get 1 Gas Point for every dollar you spend at S&S, Giant or Peapod all the time, and there are usually a few options in the circular to get bonus points, besides GCs. Be sure to have your S&S card scanned before purchasing or you won't get any Gas Points. You usually have to pay for GCs at the Customer Service desk, which may or may not ask for ID.

Gas Points expire 30 days after they are earned. You can check your current balance by logging in here: http://www.stopandshop.com/savings-and-rewards/rewards-program/gas-rewards/. There is also quite a bit of good general information about how the program works at that link, including a way to look up participating Shell stations and Stop & Shop stores with gas stations.

Gas Points are redeemable at Stop & Shop stores with gas stations and at participating Shell stations only. Not all Shell stations participate. It is recommended that you find out about station participation before driving around looking for one with your gas light on. :)

The link above also has instructions about how to redeem your Gas Points at Shell both within and outside of NJ. (NJ outlaws self-service gas, so it has a little bit different procedure than in other states.)

The maximum redemption is 1500 points per fill, or $1.50 off per gallon, up to 20 gallons, but be aware that if you or the attendant enters your S&S card, your full point balance up to 1500 will be taken for any size fill. Any remaining points above 1500 will remain in your account. The minimum redemption is 100 points ($0.10 off/gal). Any discount you have available from the Fuel Rewards program is in addition to the Stop & Shop discount. For example, if you have 2000 Stop & Shop points and a $0.35 discount from Fuel Rewards, you can purchase gas for $1.85 off per gallon (the maximum $1.50 discount from Stop & Shop plus the Fuel Rewards discount).

Please use
your common sense and do not ruin this deal for others (and yourself) by doing various things that might antagonize or aggravate gas station attendants in your attempt to maximize the 20 gallon limit per redemption. (For instance, the official rules at the link above say that a redemption may be used for one vehicle only.)

Abusing this deal will only mean that gas station owners will be less likely to continue to participate, and that S&S and Shell will be less likely to continue the program going forward.

To get the Cash price without paying cash you can get a refillable shell GC here: http://www.shell.us/products-services/shell-cards/refillable.html
It's refillable online by Visa or Mastercard. Even better: buy a Shell GC at Staples using an Ink card, and get 5 points per dollar.

I tried 3x they all said either they don't know what to do, or that since I have X amount of points I must have gotten it, or I need to call corporate.
Show them the receipt, if it has your card number on it but no points added= u didn't get them. They should be able to understand that. If they don't know what to do, tell them there is a barcode in their loose leaf that they need to scan. This barcode allows them to add points (max 500 at a time). Tell them to keep doing it and adding 500 until you are whole again. Good luck.

I tried explaining that already... I just figured I will drain my points and then call corporate.
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

Whatever you do, I believe you will have more success sooner rather than latter.

I had a purchase where my points weren't added even though they scanned my card (last week), I went back to S&S and they kept saying that I have a balance of 9k+ points so the points must have been added... #idiots I need to call up and hope they give them to me. (i'm slightly worried as I did another 5k purchase the same day at another store)
This is why I always buy something extra small so that the total will be different each purchase.

Do you have receipts to verify the 9k points so they can see this is something different?

Say: "I know you'll understand this.  That is why you are the manager." Then proceed to show the manager everything written down on paper which will be EASY to follow.  However, if it is in a high DDF area, you may want to forget it at the store level.  Already one manager told me she has had enough of all the mistakes with these points.  She threatened to request that no GCs will be sent to her for the rest of the summer!  All OK now, but be careful.

Deal with the local store, not cooperate. IME they have been much easier to deal with.
Whats the drawback to call corporate, if I only made 1 purchase in the last 2 weeks?

Supposedly the END of the 30th day, ie 30 full days.

All you need to do is get the name of the CSR on the main office line, note the time/date of the call, repeat what he says, he can even note your account, and then they can always manually add the points if they disappear before the CSR says.

"Offer valid 6/26-7/16." Yes, the 16th is included (but not the 17th).

Went to go buy some gift cards, and the shelves are cleared around here.
