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.

It closes earlier.
It will let you get free gas?!
No, but it will only take the proper amount not more like rt 3.

They steal points, it happened to me and a friend of mine right after we filled up there.
Yup, that's why my number is rubbed out. I only swipe the card, I always laugh when I see them trying to peek at the number, and it's not there! ;D

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.
I have been told by a reliable source, that if you use the same address they will merge all accounts into one. That would make this entire  operation a waste of time, unless you use different addresses. Alas, I did not. :(

My theory is that it's the owner of the station. I have this felling that they can see your number on the backend somehow. When I filed a compliant with corporate the local owner called me back and he knew way to much..... He said just call stop and shop they will give you your points back.... I caught him lying first he said he had two stations then when I gave him the address of the two stations my card was used at he said he only has one station.

That's pretty unnerving. I have never had points taken from me there, BH.

I open two accounts and they were merged, I don't know what the trigger was.

It was annoying but the good part was when they reinstated my points I had another 30 days to use them and that was after they extended them a few times already.

How long from when you opened until they merged? Was it the same add?

I had once where my card was swiped for 2200 points twice in a row. I think after the guy swiped for my gas, he went and swiped at a different pump for his own gas or something.

IIRC the number was rubbed off.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Constant viligance is key. I always ask for my card back right away.

Don't remember the time frame, but it was probably the same address.

If your getting a new card in the store each time you can just scribble any address & name down.

Were they merged already? You probably have a few days till its in the system to use one or two cards,being as their still in the paper age.

Also I know its not what you wanted but I assume all your points will transfer to the original account when they do get merged so all you lost is the time.

Why do you care if they merge?

It's not just time. I purposely have each card with 1900 points since I'm paying $1.97 a gallon. By merging the points it will start deducting 2200 points for each fill up forcing me to get premium for $2.50.... Plus it will end up costing more points than necessary per fill up.
