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 called gas attendant for price and only put 1900 on my S&S card (since the pumps take off in even 100s). I found out that when I went to the pump later in the day the price dropped below $1.90 so it cost me .10/gal instead of .04/gal. 

Also, you have to factor in points for anything else you are buying plus what you already have on the card.

You are saying that you can tell the attendant how many points to deduct ??

No, after calling the attendant to ask how much the current gas price was, I then dec ided to put only 1900 on my card.  My plan didn't work though since the price dropped below $1.90 later in the day.

Wow! In that kind of situation it might be worth putting 100 less points on the card, just so you don't have to risk needing to buy premium gas

Now that (regular) gas is less than $2.20, what happens if you have 2200 points? In Lkwd you need to buy super (which is more than $2.20). What about at other locations?
you might get a little leeway when deciding how many gas points to acquire, if your local shell charges 10 cents more to pay with CC.

He meant when loading originally.  You can't choose how much to redeem. It will deduct the max upto 2200
So you will pay $0?

Thought it takes off up to the closest $0.10.

But if gas is $2.20, it's really plus .9 cents. So you'd pay about a penny/gallon

Correct, it will only work if you pay something impossible to have a $0 bill IME. The best I got was 1.9 cents a gallon. The 35 gallons cost me whopping 67 cents!

What happens if has is $2.00. From the OP i quoted, seems like it should use 2200 points which would make gas free. Somehow i do not think that is the case. I think it uses as many points up to the closest $0.10.

Yea, I have been doing that the problem is once you want load more..... Now the guessing really starts, as of now I'm getting a new card each time and only putting on 1900 points, it's a real PITA.

No it will never charge you more than the cost of gas in points. In your scenario it would not let you pump since it will charge your card 2000 points and make the gas free, the system won't allow it. You would be forced to buy premium to bring the cost over 2200 points.

Sounds like in that case you would need to have up to 2,000 points or less.

Does anyone know if it's against the T&Cs to have more than one S&S card? (Then you could load each one with 2k points, or 1900, or whatever.)

My gas station in Clifton on Rt 3 charges me a min of  .10 per gallon, even if gas in under $2.00. However 2,200 points gets debited for each fill up. I needed to call them and have them add back 300 points each time.

Use the one in Wallington, it's cheaper than rt 3. It also doesn't have the issues you mentioned.
