The Offer

Stop&Shop, Giant, Martin’s

Giant/Stopandshop/Martin’s have an offer showing in their upcoming circular:

Get 2x/3x fuel points on the purchase Visa 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.

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

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 the grocery.Stack with 10% Chase Offer.

Note, many SS/Giant stores have implemented a $1,500 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 $1,500 worth in a single transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Certainly. Unlike personal loans, you won't face any penalties for settling your balance ahead of schedule. However, it's crucial to keep in mind that if your credit card comes with a 0% introductory offer, it's essential to clear your balance completely before the 0% promotion expires and interest charges apply.

However, you can include additional cardholders, each with their own card. While sharing the single credit limit, the primary cardholder remains responsible for settling the debt.

Potentially, yes. Credit card APRs are typically variable, allowing lenders to change rates, impacting your monthly payments. Additionally, be mindful that introductory 0% offers can lead to higher interest rates once they expire. So, it's wise to clear your balance before that happens, if feasible.

Indeed, credit builder cards exist for those with less-than-ideal credit scores. These cards offer lower credit limits (typically £150 to £1,200) and higher interest rates. Responsible use, including full and on-time payments, can gradually boost your creditworthiness, potentially opening doors to better credit card offers down the line.
