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.

This week they offer 5X on "select gift cards"
Pictured are 12 cards .
Excludes stop and shop gift cards, excludes telecom and "reloadable " cards .
So visa 1 time use cards are excluded?
 if anybody knows please respond. Or I will have to try it tomorrow myself.
If they only meant to include the pictured cards, why would they have to list exclusions? It would be understood that any cards not pictured are excluded.
All cards are "loadable" because they are worth nothing while hanging on the rack and value is loaded to them when they are purchased. The cards that can be depleted and then value can be added to the same card again are "reloadable". Visa gift cards are generally not reloadable; PayPower, NetSpend, PayPal and MyVanilla cards are.

You do not get gas points for Visa GC when they aren't on promotion. (talking from experience)
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

And where are you gonna store the cans? I don't think it's very safe to have a bunch of 5 gallon gas cans hanging out... even in the garage...

Anyone know if you get gas points on GCs NOT during a promo period?

I went to try it out, the points did not show up on the receipt. when I asked them why it didn't show up, they added the points manually.

It looks like from this post and from another one i saw earlier where points were posted manually not during a promo period, it might be worth it to try at least once. If I don't get the points I'm still buying MR for .59 CPP. Not too bad.

Also, I also tried to split hairs about the way the current ad looked, and went for the points with Visa GCs. Alas, they did not post automatically, and I didn't make a nuisance of myself to try to post them manually.

If you think someone couldn't potentially lose their job for posting 2500 gas points manually without proper authorization, you're wrong.

Not really wrong thread because we are trying to make stop and shop points and this week the only (cash out) option is best buy . so the question is how to cash it out.

But that wasn't the question asked. :)

And even if it was, the question "Does BestBuy allows GCs to be bought with GCs?" should precede it.
