UPDATE: Ends 12/7 – check signs at your store to be sure!
Details – There is an upcoming giftcard deal at Giant. You’ll get 4x Extra Bonus Points with the your gift card purchases. This means for every $100.00 spent, you’ll get $.40 off per gallon, up to 3o gallons. These deals are valid 11/17/13 to 12/7/13. Please check your store for participating gift cards – however, Giant and Martins gift cards are EXCLUDED.
You can buy a Visa Gift Card but will have to pay an activation fee. The best bet is to buy a Visa gift card at the highest amount your store has. This will mean you will only pay ONE activation fee. You can fill up to 30 gallons, but if you do not get the full 30 gallons, you can calculate your deal here on the FTM Gas Deal Calculator.
If your store has the $500 Visa Cards, you can do this deal:
Visa Giftcard Deal:
Buy Visa Card $500.00 + $5.95 Activation Fee
Pay $505.95
Get $60.00 in gas ($2.00 off in gas x 30 gallons)
$54.05 Moneymaker
They also have store cards like Gap, Macys, etc. These cards typically do not require a activation fee (check the back of the card to be sure). I have not seen the denomination higher than $100.00 in stores, but since there is no activation fee, that is not a concern in this scenario.
Other Gift Card Deals:
Buy (1) $100 Gift Card $100.00
Get $12.00 in Gas ($.40 x 30)
$12.00 moneymaker per giftcard

* The ad does not state a limit, so not sure if it is limit 1 or not
Does anyone know if the visa gift cards can be cashed out at the bank or through an amazon payments account?
Just be careful, watch your dates. The current gas points expire on 11/30 so you have to be able to get 30 gallons within the next week. I bought $800 worth of gift cards which gave me $3.20 off per gallon. I got the gas, but all my cans are full at this point. Planning on doing it again on 12/1, that way I’ll have plenty of time to use up what I have and get more. Great deal!
Not sure if giant is the same but stop and shop has the same deal and the points expire 30 days after the day they were earned.
It’s 3o days after you get them that they expire
