[Expired] Giant, Stop&Shop, Martin’s: 2x Fuel Points on Mastercard Gift Cards (5/29-6/4)

The Offer

Stop&ShopGiantMartin’s (not yet showing)

  • Giant/Stopandshop/Martin’s have an offer showing in their upcoming circular for May 29 – June 4th:
    • 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 discount in some areas is $1.50. In other areas, there might not be any max.
  • You have 30 days to use the points. The day of purchase is Day #1. (Giant PA and Martins might expire at the end of the following month.)
  • Points can only be used at partner Shell stations. You can redeem the points in a different area from where you got the points, but only if that Shell station is a partner. Check out the gas locator for Stop & Shop and for Giant for exact listings of which Shell stations are included. (Giant PA and Martins might only be valid at their own gas stations.)
  • 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.
  • Pro tip: Use a Shell gift card and you’ll usually get the cash price; it’s especially worthwhile to get the lower cash price when using fuel points.

Our Verdict

They offer these kinds of deals frequently in the summer months. Separately, there’s a digital coupon advertised in the circular for 2x points on grocery purchase of $50+.

Say Mac, I’m VERY intrigued that you could see this as of SIX DAYS AGO….. ?? Really? Are you by chance a Giant employee insider ? Curious. I didn’t see anything via the usual advance ad services, like ladysavings. (which reports on Giant partner Stop’nShop) In any case, how do you explain then that it’s NOT showing up in the Giant ad for the period beginning today? (but IS for the other Carlisle Giant partner — Martin’s)….. Is it by chance showing for a zip code you’ve inserted on the Giant web site? (I tried multiple locations in VA and MD)

The fuel points (from Stop & Shop) have been coming with a 60-day expiration recently, including the most recent Visa GC deal ending 5/21.

You’re right. I hadn’t noticed, and the S&S website still says they expire after 30 days.

Can you use those MGC’s to buy money orders at that same Giant?

You could, but that looks really bad and more than likely will get you shut down. MS 101.

Yes, of course not at the same time. I would come back later or go to another Giant. I’m asking if it can functionally work. MGCs are hard to use at Walmart for example. Thanks

technically yes, it should work. (I’ve bought limited money orders with gc’s at Giant before, but a real slow moving pain there….) Understand the reason why you ask…. there are other grocers that sell money orders far cheaper than both Kroger & Giant. (all of which accept MCGC’s) Just don’t abuse it….. and don’t do it at busy times when you have a line behind you…. I’d name one major SE US chain that sells them for 46 cents, but even there, you’ll encounter individual stores which emphatically block all purchases of money orders with “gift cards” (of any stripe)….. No point arguing with the battle axe managers that technically they’re “debit cards” — or claim that it’s a corporate policy…. (when it’s not) Just move on, smile, “have a nice day,” etc.

ps, don’t get me wrong, I concur with dogfood…. I wouldn’t buy a money order EVER with a gift card bought at the same store….. (not same day, not ever…. great way to kill the golden goose)

Last time I tried to use a VGC to buy a MO at S&S, it was rejected. I think it’s now hardcoded to disallow gift cards. This may be a system wide thing for WU money orders.

When was this? I had no problem buying one last week.

Then I guess it’s not system wide (or maybe not hardcoded). This was a couple of months ago.

Just FYI, this is NOT advertised in the physical circular of Giant Food of Landover Maryland, however it is more than likely an active deal coded on the back end system, like the week before last. If there is an issue, a store CSR will NOT honor the points, however a phone CSR might.

Have you confirmed that you get points?

I’m not going for this deal since 2x is too low for me and I’m sitting on too many points.
