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.

Anyone have trouble with points posting on Fridays? Do they need a day or 2 to update their systems?

I noticed that they recently (?) changed their points program. Anything written up about that here? Or anywhere?

Are you talking about the Flex points system that now allows us to redeem for groceries?

I'm not aware of issues with points not posting on a specific day of the week, but there IS an issue when buying GC's where your paper receipt won't show any points earned...usually if you give it a little bit and then log into your account you will see the points.

I'm talking about Go Rewards.

In the past, I've had trouble the 1st day of the deal, which is always Fri. A helpful tip to see it on the receipt is to buy something else along with the cards.

Yep I used to do that too, but nowadays I just trust that the points will eventually show up.

Thanks, yeah I've been active on that DoC thread as well. It does indeed seem to be some sort of system-wide issue

I am waiting for those positive DP‘s as well. I haven’t seen any yet. One guy on Flyertalk thinks that it is due to the newer VGC‘s not being coded properly to earn points in the system.

What type of VGC did you buy, what was the design of the packaging?

Ok, I know the flowers and kevlar design are older styles. Is the top card (with the gold Visa lettering) an old design as well? If so, this would seem to support the hypothesis that old designs are working properly but we still don't know if they've fixed the issue with the new designs.

Stop and shop works.
Giants is a issue.
