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.

For better value, link Fuel Rewards to your Stop & Shop card.

Cash ok, just lose out on points.

You can also pay with a Shell GC, which can save you $0.10 additionally, on top of the Gas Rewards savings, and can be bought for 5x points, unlike paying for the gas with a CC (usually).

I have done this in NY and NJ.

You need to check the ad in the circular, possibly with a magnifying glass. MC and Visa for sure yes (through Monday)

Do you mean your leftover gallons?
I also had the guy jump on the pump when I was done filling, without asking me first.

I have done this in NY and NJ.

The problem with that is with The high NY prices a $50 gift card wont cover the 35 gallons, and once The GC runs out it shuts off the pump and you lose your remaining gallons.

Buy a $100 gift card...?

But if you can't find one, if you are really doing a full 35 gallons, NJ prices are 40 cents less (on average) than regular NY prices, and much less than NYC prices. 35 x $0.40 = $14, which, depending on how you go and how much gas it costs you to get there (and how many people you take, and if you have a reason to be there anyway, etc. etc.) can make it worthwhile to go there for your 35 gallons - and save the extra 0.10 via gas card (the attendants should run however many you give them) and get the extra points on the Shell card bought via Ink or Freedom where appropriate.

The limit of 35 gallons is a monthly ? What if I buy $2000 in gift cards I get 6000 points. Now what happens when I buy gas. They deduct 2200 and the rest is there for my next fill up?

The balance dwindles in increments of 2200 until the last fillup which is the remaining balance of points (unless you replenish points, of course).  Remember, points disappear from the balance 30 days after you receive them.

YMMV, but at worst you are paying with a way to get 5x UR, rather than 2x.

They need to be in the same transaction.

Don't put the pump back.

This is probably not possible in NJ, where law requires attendants.
