The Offer
Stop&Shop, Giant, Martin’s (not yet showing)
Giant/Stopandshop/Martin’s have an offer showing in their circular for April 5-11:
- Get 2x fuel points on the purchase Mastercard gift cards.
- Get 10x fuel points on Domino’s, Cracker Barrel and Lord & Taylor 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 4/5/19 – 4/11/19 (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
There’s usually a heavy uptick during summer months, and I expect we’ll keeping seeing these kinds of offers in the coming months. 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 reader DDG
Looking for a partner in Giant area. I live the S&S area.
Stop spamming.
Sorry I found 2 separate post so posted at 2 places. Feel free to delete it.
Will buy these with my PRG card and use them to buy Disney gift cards from Sam’s Club. Good timing.
Is there an activation fee on the Mastercard Giftcard?
$5.95
Why it’s better than Safeway’s always 2 point per dollar on VGC and MGC except store accessablitity?
If I understand your question, nothing. Closest Safeway is hundreds of miles away, but I have two Stop and Shops within 10 minutes.
Almost finished using my $13.50/gallon from the VGC promo. Woohoo for more free gas!
Is it safe to use amex for gift card at giant? They don’t have those merchant l3 visa site.
In my experience, yes. Been using BCP for 6% back on groceries.
Yes.
I never had any problems but I’m not a “high roller” MSer 🙂
If you’re nervous about charges of $505.95 raising red flags, you can easily do split tender at Stop and Shop (and likely the others). When it asks if the amount is correct, tap on NO. You’ll then be asked to enter the amount. Enter a non-suspicious amount and put the rest on another card.
I just checked the MCGCs at my local Stop and Shop. They’re issued by Metabank, not US Bank, so we probably don’t have to worry so much about hacking. Same thing with the recent fee-free MCGCs at Staples.
Nice DP. Almost disregarded this because I hate dealing with US bank cards. I’ll have to check my stores.
These are fine for Serve FD and DG loads right?
When it rains, it pours
Great deal to combine with Chase Freedom 5% offer.
Wish I had a bigger tank 🙂
I have a 12 gallon tank, but I also fill a 5 gallon can and a 2 gallon can, so I can always max out these deals. Yes, I know the math doesn’t work, but I can squeeze in a little more.
