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.

I got mine at the customer service desk.

So am I the only nut job that actually maximizes the discount each time?
No, there are some other similarly minded nut jobs right here on this board. :)

Lol! But in all seriousness I had an issue that my acct balance wasn't updating properly and I called customer service and the guy mentioned "I see that almost all your points come from gift cards" and he didn't sound happy about it! Just wondering how many more times do u think they are gonna do this?!

This is an official deal. They WANT you to buy GC's. The only loophole is buying with a CC. I would still buy it even with cash if that loophole is closed.

Filling up two cars with one discount is not allowed according to t&c. but I'd imagine filling up a car + 20 separate 1 gallon gas containers would be fine, if you're going to put those containers in the vehicle. Then, once your car made a kinyan, you can take it out & fill up other cars. Most people wouldn't go through that hassle to maximize the discount. Obviously, everybody follows the t&c!

This is from the FAQ at http://www.stopandshop.com/faqs/#gas
Q. can I use my discount on more than one vehicle at a time?
A. No. The discount can only be used on one vehicle, limited to the tank's capacity, not to exceed 35 gallons.

Or, what I posted upthread says it more specifically:
Here is a question and answer from the FAQ in the printed brochure:
Can I use my discount on more than one vehicle at a time or on a vehicle and gas can?
No. The discount can only be used on one vehicle, limited to the tank's capacity not to exceed 35 gallons.

That's ridiculous! My vehicle is a sedan, not a tank. Who even owns a tank and if they do, when would they fill it up at Shell?? Clearly, this part of the t&c is just a joke. Ha!

By all means, maximize your savings in ways that do NOT:

a. embarrass yourselves, or making anyone who would understand what you are doing embarrassed to be a part of the human race with you, and

b. potentially ruin this deal for others by making specific stations more likely to leave participation, or abusing the system in ways that would contribute to S&S and Shell stopping the promotion.

For the record, in NJ they recently started calculating the savings before they fill your car (like NY) and not afterwards, like they've been doing until now, so now you can maximize the 35 gallons and put it all on a CC.

+1 they rolled it out very fast, every one that I've been at has it.

Because if they calculated it at the end the CC would stop @$90 which would be about 25 gallons. They can only authorize a CC up to $90.
