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.

on the contrary, wait till you have no gas points left, and then use ur gc just for small fill ups until u finish each of them out.
Smart. Question is if it ends up worth it, because shell gas is more expensive than, say, delta.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Of course once you have the GC it's worth using it. Question is if you gain or lose by buying shell GCs to pay cash price, when you have to buy more expensive gas to wipe out the balances.
Further study/calculations required.

NICE! Does it count as Gas when loading online?  (for bonus categories)
Probably worth it either way :)

???
This is a forum. Whoever found their way here , is already way more adnvanced than the noooobs who rread the main site.

Not everything here is meant to be shared.

We went through this already regarding this specific deal. Check earlier on in this thread.

There were many many people upset that it was posted on main site.

People stopped complaining bec they got no where last time they complained. Instead, they stopped sharing deals here.
And anyone who is advanced should be able to find out if there is a gas promo going on without reading it here. Dan takes the deal directly from the forum. I don't see any benefit of posting it here. And even if we presume there is a benefit, we should all know by now that any gas promo posted here will definitely make it shortly to ddms.

When I bought 10 GC's last week the 10th one rang up as free. The rep noticed and cancelled the transaction. Second time she scanned the cards I got charged for all of them. Said she never saw such a thing before. Would've been a nice deal, buy 9 get 1 free. Oh well...
