The Offer
Stop&Shop, Giant (pg 7), Martin’s
Giant/Stopandshop/Martin’s have an offer showing in their circular, valid for November 4th – 24th:
- Get 5x fuel points on all third-party gift card purchases when you use your store loyalty card.
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. Visa and Mastercard gift cards are excluded from this offer, and presumably Giant/SS gift cards are excluded as well.
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
5x is nice, and it’s the gifting season now too. Given that points can be used to discount groceries as well these deals are more widely useful. Use a card that earns a bonus at grocery stores or stack with the Supermarket Amex Offer.
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. Also note that some SS/Giant stores now only award points for the first purchase of the deal, so be sure to buy the full $2,000 worth in a single transaction. The fine print of this offer implies that you get $2,000 across the entire week.
