The Offer

Stop&ShopGiantMartin’s (ad for 10/2-10/8, page 10)

  • Giant/Stopandshop/Martin’s have an offer showing in their upcoming circular for October 2 – October 8: Get 2x fuel points on the purchase Mastercard gift cards.

Gift cards generally don’t earn fuel points at all at Giant/S&S/Martin’s, but occasionally they release offers like this to get points on gift card purchases.

 

Gas Points Details

Every 100 points gets you 10¢ off per gallon at Shell, up to 20 gallons. If you have 1000 points, you’ll get $1 off. If you have 1500 points, you’ll get $1.50 off per gallon (max $1.50 discount in most). Points can be used at partner Shell locations.

Points are now usable on groceries as well, with a value of 100 points equaling a $1 discount.

  • You have 30 days to select whether you want to use the points on gas or groceries, then 30 days to actually use them.
  • See the FAQ for more details. Some of the details vary by area and store.
  • Points usually are available immediately, but I’ve had on occasion where it took a day until they showed up and were usable.

Our Verdict

Aside from the Mastercard deal, there’s also a deal on Happy gift cards, shown in the image above. Fuel points can be used to discount groceries as well, making these deals more widely useful. Use a card that earns a bonus at the grocery.

Note: many SS/Giant stores have implemented a $2,000 limit in gift card purchases each day (previously the limit was $5,000). They also require putting it all on a single card.

  • Idk if it's across all 3 brands or not, but Stop & Shop has 10x points (10/9-10/15) for Kohl's and Google Play. Between gas points and grocery CC cashback, saving 20+% on either brand is a great deal. Just something to keep in mind if you need either brand before racking up lots of points this week with the MCGC deal.

  • Anybody else had an account flagged, or something? I've had points not post, and when I called up they claimed the "minimum $25 purchase" for which I think $5000 on MGCs suffices. They're claiming "$25 in addition" to the MGCs, which is NOT what the circular says at all. Still, if there's a problem and customer care consistently tells you to screw off, seems like something else is going on.

    • In Pennsylvania Giant (Giantfoodstores.com):
      Looks like the MGCs (which usually don't count as points( aren't counting on points.
      Local Circular has the 2x.

      Created a totally new account (new address, new phone number, same name).
      Tried $500 MGC => no points.
      Tried $500 + $39 grocery => 39 points.

      Customer support via phone is just not honoring the deal. Local store added points for my experiments. I didn't try to get 10k+ points from the other store

  • Today's also the last day for 10x points on Google Play, Domino's, & Spafinder GCs

  • Does anyone know if gas points expiry is still 60 days or is it back to 30 ? With the Discover and Amex 10/25 BP offers in effect this will take some time to use up.
