The Offer
Stop&Shop, Giant, Martin’s (not yet showing)
Giant/Stopandshop/Martin’s have an offer showing in their circular for May 31- June 6:
- Get 3x fuel points on the purchase Mastercard gift cards.
- Get 8x fuel points on Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s gift cards.
- Buy $50 in Happy gift cards and get a $7.50 discount on your next grocery order.
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. You can view the ad here until it shows at the links above:
The Fine Print
- Valid 5/31/19 – 6/6/19 (starts Friday)
- Must use store card to get and use the points
- Be sure to double check that your local store is running this offer before buying
- “We now accept credit cards for the purchase of Visa, Mastercard, and American Express gift cards”
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
3x is a nice deal. We’ve been seeing a heavy uptick in gas offers during the warmer months; this week (5/24-5/30) there’s also a Happy deal going on, and last week saw a Visa deal. Remember to use your Chase Freedom card for 5x on up to $1,500 at the grocery this quarter, or use a card that earns bonus rewards at the grocery.
Hat tip to DDG
The $7.50 off happy gift cards showed up while the 8x gas points in happy gift cards was still on last week. At Giant gas stations, the maximum is 25 gallons of gas. Therefore, for every $50 gift card I bought, I got $10 off on gas, $7.50 off grocery purchase, and at least $3.75 in Chase freedom points. A $50 gift card for under $30… Great deal! For the record, I do actual frequent some of the locations on those cards, so they won’t just gather dust.
Got 3000 points for pink Mastercard metabank .
Location : ny stop & shop
points didn’t post on the variable, pink package metabank at S&S
happened to me as well..did they add manually for you ?
Yes, on the spot. This was around 8:30AM EDT on Friday. Hopefully the system has been updated to post automatically now. Will be trying again soon
does receipt shows points credited instantly. i never noticed to be honest. I bought mine on Jun 1st and system was still having issue.
If you live in Giant PA territory, wait until at least tomorrow to buy the GCs as you get until the end of the next month to buy the gas. This gives you free gas through July. Sweet! In most of the other regions, you only get 30 days. Still, it might be good to wait until the end of the sale to get you through the July 4 holiday.
Heads up, giant app showing 7,5 off happy gift card today combines with 8× gas point ymv for others
Is there a limit per account? I bought $500 VGC and got fuel points but not the case after a second $500 2 days later on the same card account.
No limit. Or certainly not a limit as low as yours. You either didn’t buy in the correct time window, your forgot to give your rewards number, or something went wrong on their end.
Sounds like a glitch. Go to customer service, where they can fix it.
Or you can call customer service the day after. Sometimes their system is iffy and won’t post the points correctly
Can we ask cashier to split the payment for purchasing a $500 gift card? I have a bunch of $250 amex gift cards to drain… Thank you.
You can ask but they might say no. Giant in PAs system allows it.
I’m in PA but spend a lot of time at the jersey shore in the summer. Any idea if points earned from these purchases at PA giants can be used at participating Shell stations in NJ?
chances are not. giant in PA runs a different system than everywhere else
At Stop and Shops in the NY area, you just have to hit the NO button when it asks if it’s the correct amount. You then get prompted for the amount to charge against that card. Then you enter the next card. I’ve only done it for two cards, but I suspect it works for more than two, which you’ll have to do to make a $505.95 purchase with $250 gift cards.
Giant POS allows split payment and gives your the power to enter the amount. It allows upto 4 or 5 cards after which, they have to override for more cards. I have done 8 sometimes.
Can these be liquidated for MOs at the same Giant?
Sometimes. Test and assess the store’s scrutiny of your payment method, and only liquidate one card at a time.
In my experience, yes. Never had an issue liquidating these for MOs at Giant or Weis in central PA.
Another central PAer :-). Never bought MOs at Weis. Is it the same process at Giant? Any issues to be aware of? Thanks.
Maybe this goes without saying, but don’t buy a gift card and try to use it to buy an MO in the same trip. The optics aren’t good.
yes..never liquidate at same store. Dumb move. This will ruin it for all. At least wait a week and then only 1 or 2 per trip.
Yes, i agree. Thanks
Thanks for asking this. And thanks to everyone who replied.
