Giant, Stop&Shop, Martin’s: Get 5x Fuel Points On All Third-Party Giftcards Or $15 Off $100 (11/3-11/23) – Doctor Of Credit

The Offer

Stop&Shop, Giant, Martin’s

Giant, Stop&Shop, Martin’s have an offer showing in their circular. Different stores have different offers:

• Get 5x fuel points on all third-party gift card purchases from November 3 – 23, 2023 when you use your store loyalty card.
• Get $15 off $100 on all third-party gift card purchases from November 3 – 23, 2023 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, as are Giant/SS gift cards 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 on all third party gift cards is nice, and it should work on top gift cards like Amazon and Best Buy. Given that points can be used to discount groceries as well these deals are more widely useful. It can potentially amount to 5% back when redeemed for groceries or 10% back when redeemed for gas.

Note, many SS/Giant stores have implemented a $2,000 limit in gift card purchases each day. 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. This offer might be limited to $2,000 across the entire promo period, let us know if you try.

The $15 off $100 deal is also nice, especially on top gift card brands. Pay with a credit card that earns a bonus at grocery stores.
