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 didn't know that there were so many Chasidish DDF'ers. I guess you live and learn

Our most favourite DDF'er is a chusid (former kachnik) that eats fish with the hands and tinks challah in kochenyo every shabbos. And of course I'm chasiddish as well.

What kind of chusid would you be if you weren't chasiddish??
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Last week I visited two S and S stores on Cape Cod -- both in Brewster, I think -- and they had ample supply of 500s.  The Dedham Super S and S doesn't. I asked the latter manager if she could give me the points on Amex but no dice.

Should have asked for a rain check on the promo.

If you do this with a circular showing the deal (not this week's - it's not in there - last week's) they will almost certainly give it to you if there aren't any Visa cards in the store. Possibly even if there are no more $500s, if you are slick. It's a funny kind of rain check, since the price is not what you want a rain check on, but it is definitely worth a try if you are getting nervous you won't restock your points before 7/10.

Now, that said, getting your points when you use the rain check, when they don't automatically ring up on purchase, may be more difficult. It will involve the CS desk person adding them manually, and given the amounts, the store manager will almost certainly need to come out and give permission, but it can be done.

I had a similar situation a long time ago when I bought 4x $500 and remembered about scanning my S&S card just as I was walking away, having paid already. That day, the store employees were rock stars for me and I wrote a long complimentary email about them to corporate, which I heard later got them some kind of presentation and a small bonus.

I signed up for a Stop & Sop card yesterday at the store and made a purchase with the card, points show on the receipt. But when I try to register my card on the Stop and Shop website I get the following error "Service currently unavailable. We currently can not update your account. Please try again later."

I'm guessing this is normal because someone has to manually input the info from the sheet I filled out into the computer, but how long should it take?
Secondly, can I use the card meanwhile to redeem the gas rewards?

If the gas rewards are on the card, and the card is active, I don't foresee you having any problem. Check the price as your filling up, and you will be able to decipher quickly if I am correct.

HDS, thanks. Mine was a rookie mistake. Will try your approach next time.  And also, nice job on the complimentary letter. Great to see that good deeds get rewarded all around.  8)

I had the same issue, but it worked when I tried signing up through the S&S app

It's important, for sure.

This is one of those happy areas where altruism and enlightened self-interest look about the same. :)
