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.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could get stop and shop gift cards by redeeming discover rewards?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

You can't buy gift cards all by yourself at self checkout. However, the cashier who oversees the self checkout lanes can do it for you.

Triple dipped on this one:

Gas points + supermarket amex promo + cash back = 9000 gas points, $24 net profit, and $150.

All around wonderful night... dinner with Mrs. AJK, to free gas at Shell, to ^, to WM for liquidating 15K, to depositing.

Love to figure things out, but  ???  on this one.  Six $500 GCs gives you the 9k points at a cost of $35.70.  $10 credit on amex (oh..maybe more than one amex?).  $150 credit is 1% on Visa cards, but then why only 9k gas points?

6x AMEX (or 2, since you can redeem his offer three times) = $60 back, for a profit of $24.30

9000 points = 4 full redemption fill ups. That might be the number AJK plans to do in the 30 days (after which, the points expire).

Now, how do I get that AMEX offer is what I want to know? Can I tweet for it?

 ??? ?   ETA: Oh, didn't realize offer was for 3x.  Thanks!  But I still don't get why AJK only got 9k points instead of for the entire 15k.  Maybe he got the other 12k elsewhere.


I spoke to Amex on a few occasions and they stated that there is an outside marketing company who is in charge of these offers and that Amex can do nothing about it.   :(

There's no big mystery. He bought 6x $500 = $3000 of GCs = 9000 gas points. The liquidation comment wasn't related to his gas points GC purchase. :)

What I'm trying to figure out is how the heck is this worth it for stop and shop? Assuming you maximize the 35 gallons the discount is $77 for a $1000 gift card purchase. Even if they only pay shell .50 on the dollar for that discount it's not worth it for them?

That's not a reasonable assumption. Most will not arrive at the gas station with enough room in the tank for anywhere near 35 gallons. Furthermore, not everyone who buys the gift cards loads them to the maximum of $500; some choose a lower amount or buy the other cards with a set value.

Lol.  The points  expire after 30 days. 

How much do you think the average consumer spends on groceries per month? $700 at max?

How many gallons does the average vehicle hold? 17 gallons?

So it costs s&s (on average)  $11.90,  for a customer that spent $700.

That's a joke.

Now for the GC promo,  as someone said earlier,  most people don't get the full $500, and even if thry do,  they get 15-20 gallons. Not 35.

So am I the only nut job that actually maximizes the discount each time?
