[Update 12/1/18: @J_Turnbow reports that some stores have now restocked. Worth checking out your local store to see if they haven – there’s a 2x VGC deal ongoing through 12/6.]
Many Stop&Shop stores have pulled all Visa, Mastercard, and American Express gift cards from the shelves. Not sure if they pulled the fixed-value cards or only the variable load.
It’s obviously not a chain-wide thing – they are even offering double fuel points this week. But some stores/areas have pulled the cards. I’ve only heard of Stop&Shop stores with this issue, not Giant or Martin’s.
According to a report, it’s a temporary measure due to fraud concerns, with the plan being to get them back in stores sooner or later.
