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.

Anyone else banned/flagged?  How much and how often did you buy?  Could it have been the talking with CSR to get the extra points that set it off?


(Trying to learn so as not to be in the same boat)

I've never requested points if it wasn't automatically put on....
Depended on their stock if they had I would buy $4500 once or twice a week. (for some reason they were convinced the the total couldn't be over 5k)
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

Try to buy under $2k. It makes no difference for you money wise . if you get them in $500 increments

I'll need to try to do that in the future, but its a pain and a waste of time...
Problem is the same CSRs that know also work the registers... so I might need to find a new store all together.

@bznt gave you a few viable ideas.  In addition, if you want to HUCA it yourself in person, I'd ask if you could only buy 3 cards, not the 9 that you usually do.  If they agree to only that, then you may be able to eventually get it up to 3-4 cards per visit, but I wouldn't go beyond that because of their "paperwork".

Anyone have an issue buying Visa Gift Cards at S&S?
I went to my local store and the CSR rep tells me his manager told him this morning that I was flagged and cannot purchase any GCs in the store.
which location ?

don't know which S&S you folks are talking about.. My upstate (and CT stores also) stores have a new policy and new register system. Anything over 1K requires manager override. I just don't make a pig of myself. I buy 1 with TDBank 5% card and right after that 1 with BC card at same register.. NO  problem. I go to a few cashiers when they are busy. I'm happy buying 4 or 6 cards at a time. Not like the rest of you, who will get corporate  S&S to stop taking CC for VGC!! Especially asking CS for gas points when the offer shows the cards included in 5%!!!

I bought two cards this morning, just under 1,000 with fees, and the cashier looked at my ID and then said that she could only ring up one card at a time, because of some sort of system limitations.

This must be new, it used to be under $2000 there was no ID required.

It all depends on the cashier. I've done $1500 without ID and I've had a cashier ask me for ID for $1000 both at the same store.
I try my best :-\

Every time I do more than 1 the cashier needs to use his -wonderful- key, I guess she didn't have one and didn't want to bother the manager/CS.
