Stop & Shop Gas Rewards
It’s that time again! Time to check out what deals we can score at Stop & Shop beginning Friday, 12/04 with their new gas reward offers! This week we have 2 gas reward promotions. The first deal is buy 7 participating products and earn 500 gas reward points ($0.50 off per gallon, up to 35 gallons of gas).
If you are not familiar with Gas Rewards here is a breakdown…
There are always many different deal ideas you can work with gas reward deals depending on what you want, need and have coupons for. For the “Buy 7 Get 500 Gas Rewards” offer the best deal I’m seeing is buying 7 Mama Rosie’s Ravioli, priced at $2.00 each.
We have a $1/2 Mama Rosies items, (zip code: 17013) printable coupon available. We can pick up 7 bags of Mama Rosies Ravioli’s, we’ll then use 3 coupons, and we’ll pay $12.00. We’ll then score 500 Gas Rewards Points, and score a $6.50 money maker assuming you can fill up with the full 35 gallons of gas!
Here are the additional items participating in this offer:
The second gas rewards offer is a not as exciting. The offer is Receive 5x Gas Rewards on the items purchased in this section.
Here are the additional items participating in this offer:
After the 5x Gas section offer I wasn’t sure if things could get any better, until I spied the awesome 2x Gas Rewards points on Amex Gift Cards! Woot Woot!
The third Gas Rewards deal we have this week is an AMEX Gift Card Deal! It’s a 2x Gas Rewards Deal and is running Through 12/10!. You can purchase $500 in gift cards and earn 2 times gas points on this purchase. You earn 1 point for each dollar you spend at Stop & Shop, so if you bought a $500 Gift Card during this promotion, you will earn 1,000 gas points, which is equivalent to $1.00 off a gallon of gas at participating Shell Gas Stations.
You can fill up with UP TO 35 gallons of gas using your gas points. If you buy a $500 AMEX Gift Card you will have earned $1.00 off of 35 gallons of gas, which is equivalent to $35.00 in savings. So to summarize, with 1,000 gas points (which you will earn for buying a $500 AMEX gift card) you can get UP to $35.00 in FREE gas, assuming you can fill up with 35 gallons of gas.
You will then have to deduct the activation fee for the $500 AMEX Gift Card which Stop & Shop will charge you, which ranges from $5.95-$8.95 depending on the value of the gift card. Assuming the activation fee is $5.95, this makes this deal a $29.05 Money Maker ($35.00 less the $5.95 activation fee).
I hope you followed this explanation, as I know gas points can be confusing. If you don’t follow, just ask and we will do our best to make it more clear for you! We call these gift card deals Money Makers because you can use the $500 AMEX gift card just like cash – pay bills, get gas, groceries, etc. So you’re taking money you already have budgeted, transferring it onto a gift card and then using it just like you would have used it before – to pay bills, pay for your groceries, etc. except now you’ve got $29.05 in FREE gas. Easy, right!? I hope you think so too!
This deal works in any increment – doesn’t have to be a $500 gift card. You can buy $100 AMEX Gift Card and earn 300 Gas Points ($0.30 off per gallon) and so on. You will just “make the most money” on buying the largest gift card amount, which in this case is $500.
These Gas Rewards deals are such a great way to rack up the savings at the pump, while saving on your grocery budget! Watching the bill drop on one of our biggest expenses has been amazing!
As always with gas reward deals, there’s a bunch of different deal scenarios you can work depending on how many prints/coupons you have, however here are some deal ideas assuming you can fill up to 35 gallons of gas!
