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 went to customer service and showed them the receipt that 0 points were earned so she added 5k points manually to my card
Interesting, when that happened one, they refused to do anything and said that I would have to call up the card number.

I bought the gift cards at the customer service desk. It was the same person who checked me out that I went back to and showed her the receipt. She had no idea what I was talking about but she gave me the 5x points

How do you handle all the extra points before they expire?

I drive a lot, and it lasts 30 days as has been mentioned. 10k points is 4 full discounts ($2.20 off) plus a bit. I can fill up 4 times in a month easily.

It's a red flag for the store to be adding gobs of gas points to someone's card, but when legit, the CS desk can/should do this without a problem.

I once forgot to give them my S&S card during the purchase and they did this, but they had to call the gas points people and confirm first. It was a bit of a hassle but it all got straightened out in the end.

The Staples site is also currently out of Visa GCs for some people, YMMV.

If you don't have actual purchases at Staples coming up, might want to wait to see the status of that before you go crazy at S&S. It won't be possible to use the Staples GCs in-store to buy Visa GCs, regardless.

In my experience, stores will not let you use a Staples GC to purchase another GC.

Is there way to check point balance?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

But that was for Amex GC's which are harder to get rid of than MC/Visa

I think the OP was referring to last time as in when there was a promo on Visa and MC.
