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.

How does the Fuel Rewards program integrate with the Stop and Shop program?

I think I am confused.  Buying $1500 worth of groceries gets you $1.50 off at the pump using Stop & Shop gas points no matter which CC is used at the store.  Using a linked MC to purchase the $1500 will get you an additional $0.05-$0.15 or more off per 100 gal depending on offers?  That is also $1.50/gal. so now we are up to $3/gal off?  Where do we get these offers?

In order for your $0.15 off per gallon from using your MasterCard to combine with points from shopping at Stop & Shop, you need to make sure that your accounts are linked. Then when you buy gas, use your Fuel Rewards card. In the Fuel Rewards app you can see which places you can shop at that will earn you Fuel Rewards when you pay with a linked MasterCard. I currently see Jiffy Lube and Stop & Shop. A couple weeks ago I saw a lot of toy stores and even a local car mechanic. As far as I can tell, I am automatically enrolled in all the offers.

So this is in addition to the $1.50/gal off from the gas points?  All I see is a 5 cent offer.  How do I get the 15 cents off?  I don't have the app.

Yes. Go to fuelrewards.com from a mobile web browser. Log in. Look under main menu > EARN > MasterCard Offers. It will take you to https://www.fuelrewards.com/fuelrewards/mymastercard

You quoted something that has nothing to do with the end of this month. I think you should have quoted this:

I think you're asking in the wrong thread.

Somewhere in credit cards. Try the search thread.

Dan just posted on DDMS about using Fuel Rewards, but he didn't discuss using FR's the way we have discussed here.

Maybe I'm not thinking about it the right way, but here's an approach I have used:
I earn Fuel Rewards by spending on my Arrival+ MC at S&S. Currently, I get $0.15/gallon for every $100 spent. So, with gas approaching $3.00/gallon, I spend $2000 on my MC to get $3.00/gallon, for 20 gallons. That saves me $60.  I spend ~$30 on GC and liquidating them, so the net savings is only $30.  But I also earn $0.022 per $1.00 spent on my A+MC, so that's $44. The whole process gives me a net return of $74 (minus all the time and effort and worry involved with buying and liquidating the GCs).

Are there better algorithms? This one is pretty labor intensive, and a little risky.
Shell gas stations are mostly more expensive plus your total net assumes that you have a car with a 20 gallon tank or want to fill up a container and store it.
Not worth the hassle

i don't think it's overpriced by $1.50-$3 per gallon
