The Offer
Stop&Shop, Giant, Martin’s (page 10)
Giant/Stopandshop/Martin’s have an offer showing in their circular for May 24-30:
- Get 8x fuel points any Happy gift card type and on Wayfair 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.
The Fine Print
- Valid 5/24/19 – 5/30/19 (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
Ending today (5/23) is the 3x Visa deal, starting tomorrow (Friday, 5/24) is this 8x Happy deal. The Happy cards work at a wide variety of locations. 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.
Please correct the dates in the title.
Done, thank you
Dates in title need correction…currently showing 5/17-5/23
Done, thank you
My dumbass forgot to put my phone number in last night when I bought a VGC… don’t be like me
You can always go back to CS with receipt at non-busy hour and ask them to manually add points. Depending on how helpful your CS is it is a painless 2 minute process for them.
When I buy GCs I usually take the physical loyalty cID and CC in hand and count the number 3 before I give them as I have made this mistake in the past too.
Thank you! I’ll give this a try
With the latest round of Serve shutdowns, this becomes more attractive compared to the VGC deal. If you buy a $200 Happy card, you’ll get 1600 points worth $30+ assuming you can do a 20 gallon fill up, so it’s basically a 15% discount on whatever gift cards Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond sell.
