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'm very confused about the MC bonus. What exactly is it? Is it still alive? Is it worth using a MC instead of a Freedom (5%)? Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks!

Are you saying from experience? I bought last week when it was 3x on Visa cards and I used a linked MC and I got only the 3x base points and nothing else.
I also spent at Stop & Shop with a linked MasterCard and didn't get Fuel Rewards points.

+1 past few purchases -- in the past week -- have not resulted in FR points.

It takes a few days for the Mastercard offer to show up

I made earlier then that and nothing. I think VGC purchases aren't being credited.

My purchase was for food, eBay card and Amazon card, no VGC.

In some areas, it's a $15 voucher on a $100 GC purchase instead. Check your local circular before you buy.

Is the consensus that it's not worth using MC anymore, better to use Freedom or EDP?

Yes. No longer worth it.

Can the $15 voucher be used to buy another gift card ?

For the past two weeks, I haven't seen FR points from buying GC with my linked B6 MC at S&S. However,  I'm stubborn -- maybe no more than the rest of you! -- and I am not ready to give up the MC at S&S for FR.

The T&C are completely vague: https://www.fuelrewards.com/fuelrewards/mastercard-terms.
But they don't explicitly exclude GC. They just say (my bolding),
•You must make all qualified purchases between April 1, 2018, and June 30, 2018.
•Qualified purchases can be made in-store only at participating grocery stores.
•Mastercard reserves the right to determine which purchases qualify for the Offer.

I am going to try a few more times with my linked B6 MC, as it gives 2ppd and I'm trying to reach $50,000 for Mosaic, anyway.

FR is definitely acting up. I finished my 50k on B6 on 4/20 so that's my last DP and points posted for that. However I filled up this week and the points were not deducted from my account but I got the full discount.

Always use an Amex, you'll thank me one day.

You beat me to it (the 50k)! But I got a late start (didn't start until mid-Feb).
Here's hoping that the FR is just a system glitch, not a new policy.
