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.

Seems the same to me
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Nothing changed. They specify which gift card qualify. This week it's visa only. In the abovementioned post you write visa or master. This week its visa only. And you get 3 X S&S points

At the gift rack there is a small display with there gift card buying policy. There it states that you can buy up to $2000 . but they made me go to customer service desk . no big deal. Sometimes they ask for my license and write some info in a book. But today they just rang me up at the customer service desk no headaches

I have done it before too. I just wrote what I did today. I live within 2 miles of a stop and shop so it's not a big deal for my to stop by as needed. Remember thebooints expire 30 days after they are earned

Sometimes at night they have only allowed me to buy 1 per person.  It's YMMV since the cashiers have become a bit leary throwing around 'money laundering' to one another.

Store I went to has a sign sitting on the cust serv counter which says $6k limit. Every time I go there, they try to cap me at $2k, and I pick up the sign and show them.  :)

They did not cap me. The sign said that over $2000 you have to go to customer service counter to complete the transaction

Share it with friends and family.

I've been exercising self control. I know I can't use more than 4-5 fillups (x2) per month.

Problem with sharing it is friends and family will never manage to use more than 17-18 gal on a fillup, unless you're at the pump coordinating them.

doesn't hurt me. I'm happy to get a bargain, even though theoretically I could get a bigger bargain.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.
