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.

Is there any benefit to linking a MC vs Visa or Amex?
They have offers for one shopping at participating places using the linked MasterCard. I haven't seen such offers for using a linked Visa or Amex.

It can be worth even more. This week they have 2 different gas promotions one is buy 7 of certain cleaning supplies for 400 gas points. The other is buy any 6 certain food items for 300 gas points.

So if you buy $500 GC and use the $75 worth of coupons 3X on $25 of promotional items you not only get the items for free, you earn 1200 gas points on top of that.
Sounds good, but don't you lose around 15% when selling gift cards?
So yes, you get $75 worth of coupons, but don't you lose that value when selling store gift cards?

Use them at face value. Buy for a buying group, or buy amazon etc... Either way the logic is flawed as you can't double dip on coupon items and gas points.

Did the GC purchase earn gas points? How many gas points earned after all said and done?

I wonder if that was it, i think my total was either just zero or a few cents for tax. It would be interesting if we can get some more data points on this.

I don't think that should matter since the fine print says minimum $25 after coupons and discounts are applied. They either enforce it or they don't.

Have cashiers declined to sell you cards or have the cards you wanted been out of stock or are 100 cards too many for you to use?

Some cashiers will refuse, because they have to write you up in their book for over $2k and they're just not interested..
