Update: Stop & Shop has announced they are also allowing customers to combine their discounts with Fuel Rewards. Hat tip to reader Jeff S
Giant Food Gas Rewards and Fuel Reward Network both offer discounts on gas at Shell stations. These fuel discounts can now be combined and used together on a single fill-up.
The combining factor is quite important to be able to maximize rewards. Moreover, while Giant Gas Rewards limits us to $1.50 discount on each gallon, you can use Fuel Rewards to bump up the discount beyond $1.50.
Each program has different ways to earn points. Giant Rewards are earned by shopping for groceries and a number of times each year by purchasing gift cards. Fuel Rewards Network has other ways to earn like dining and shopping. You can now either link your existing Fuel Rewards to your Giant Rewards account or simply opt in for Fuel Rewards and use your Giant Rewards as a Fuel Rewards number.
I’ve never bothered with Fuel Rewards due to the limited ways of earning. If you see an opportunity to earn Fuel Rewards, they are now more useful.
I’d initially assumed that the same combing factor would hold true for Stop&Shop and Martin’s, but from looking at their respective pages it’s not being advertised the same way. It might be the page just hasn’t been updated, if anyone tries it out please let us know.
