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.

Went to go buy some gift cards, and the shelves are cleared around here.
I'm absolutely shocked
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

It would've been easier to ask when the person was in front of you.

So I just got back from a VGC run at my local S&S and luckily they had them in-stock. Do all stores across the board limit $2,000 per day per person?

Last night I was stuck behind a few other yidz and was completely astonished on how one of the older gentlemen was berating the CS agent helping him purchase his VGC. Apparently he swiped the wrong card and payment was completed already so he demanded they void the transaction and also call the credit card company themselves while he listens on speaker to make sure it was voided on the stores end and also give him the "voided" VGC to take home in case for whatever reason they ended up not being voided. This went on for an agonizing 20-25 min while a manager and 3 other employees came over trying to assist. All the while I am standing patiently in a growing line to do my own purchases. I made a point to talk to the subject yid and managed to calm him down and smooth things over but I can only imagine this is not an isolated instance. To top it off the other younger yid in line was yelling to his friend across the store to grab whatever he sees and hide them behind a different branded GC so they can come back tomorrow and have a stash ready because stating "this store policy is BS". Aside from him discussing loudly in line how he is just doing this to get free gas and "launder" the funds back into his account using BB.

I now understand why it is important to find a low-key store to do your purchases and how all good things can come to an end very quickly when a few bad apples ruin it for the rest of us. Never in my life have I ever wanted to slide off my kippa and slip out the back door...I guess 29 years isn't bad for a first.

Nope. $2,500 is the MO limit.

I've but $5,000 plus fees many times with no issues.

I too have brought more than that, however the store's policy vary as to wether or not you need a key to override. They also vary at which dollar amount triggers that need to override. This might be something implemented on the local store level, but not systemwide.(just like the other things I mentioned).

Personally I think the second guy is way worse! Though they are both pretty bad. Finding a low key store is the only way to go...
