Our Verdict
Excellent deal if Tops is your local grocery. Would be nice to split up your shopping into $50 increments, but the terms exclude us from doing so as there has to be a 6-hour wait before earning another Gift Point.
Aside from earning Gift Points, Tops Market also has gas points which are earned on purchases; those will continue to be earned in addition to Gift Points.
We’ll add this to our list of gift card deals for this week.
Hat tip to Fatwallet
would not shop at Tops anytime. They took over a Hannaford market near me due to a court case with Stop&Shop and S&S had to divest some stores, (they owned Hannafords) They are supplying these lower NYState stores from their warehouse in Buffalo NY, (Depew) which is 350 miles away and this weeks snowstorms up there put the kabosh on trucking. That explains when I was there Tues for the 3rd and last time, found short dated milk/eggs.. dated 11/23 and absolutely no fresh produce. Rotten strawberries/lettice etc. Went up the road to Shoprite and it’s like night and day. bad biz decision by Tops .exec. They are very big way upstate with about 300 stores.That’s where they should stay,
