The Offer
Stop&Shop, Giant, Martin’s (not yet showing)
Giant/Stopandshop/Martin’s have an offer showing in their upcoming circular for July 10th through July 16th:
- Get 3x fuel points on the purchase Visa 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.) (Some people are getting 60 days now due to COVID-19.)
- 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 run fuel points deals often in the summer. Use a card that earns a bonus at grocery stores.
Hat tip to reader DDG
the expiration date of points is set back to 30 days.

Surely you mean 7/10-7/16
Fixed, thanks
Surely you mean 7/10-7/16.
Ya Boy was wrong. Points posted but I got confused with this new GIant Flexible rewards thing. Ya boy made a mistake.
So is gas redemption nationwide? That is, can I earn points in a Giant region and use them at a Shell in Stop & Shop land? I might need to load up for a road trip if so.
I called in with the same question once, and they said that my Stop&Shop points are only valid at New England Shells, not nationwide. I’d like to still try it though
Ya boy used stop and shop points earned in MA at shell stations in MD and VA
I used NY S&S points in OH
you can use points nationwide, but you have to check the fuel rewards website or app to see if the station participates. if it does, it will show a discounted price when you search for a station.
The s&s near me banned credit card for VGC (hardcoded)
Weird, they used to state clearly on that ad that credit cards are fine.
I really doubt “hard coded” is what you mean.
I wonder if they had a problem with fraud? Because it’s not corporate policy and at one point had a sign up on the gift card display saying that credit cards were accepted for purchase (they may still have it at my stores).
Can you elaborate slightly on the general location?
If you’re in an area that allows you to convert the points to use for groceries (i.e. 2000 points for $20 in groceries), the 30-day clock resets on those points when you convert them, giving you another 30 days to use them for groceries.
I’m still waiting for S&S to adopt this.
Amex claw back warning!!!
What Amex Claw back?
https://www.doctorofcredit.com/american-express-also-clawing-back-points-on-delta-marriott-cards-from-grocery-promotion/
it is possible there is a threshold where this would be a concern. i did $2k on my hilton aspire and the points posted next day after statement. for larger amounts, amex was taking back the points, or they were not posting.
