Purchase, NY – Savvy shoppers in the New York and Southern Connecticut areas have saved on fuel purchases as a result of the Stop & Shop Gas Rewards program. Shell, the No. 1 selling gasoline brand in the U.S., and Stop & Shop teamed up in April 2010 to help customers save at the pump through everyday grocery purchases, marking the region’s first gas rewards program.
Through the easy-to-use program, customers automatically earn Gas Rewards points on their Stop & Shop Card when they shop in their neighborhood store. For every 100 Stop & Shop Gas Rewards points earned, customers save 10¢ per gallon on their next fuel purchase at more than 260 participating Shell stations, up to 35 gallons per purchase.
“The Stop & Shop Gas Rewards program allows our customers to get more value from shopping with us. With the ability to redeem their gas rewards points at participating Shell stations in the NY Metro area, customers are getting the most out of using their Stop & Shop card,” said Don Sussman, President of Stop & Shop’s NY Metro Division.
“Since teaming up with Stop & Shop we are pleased to see so many consumers using their everyday grocery purchases to save at the pump,” said Dan Little, North America fuels marketing manager for Shell Oil Products U.S. “Consumers are looking for convenient ways to save, and this program provides them opportunities to get more for their money on high-quality Shell Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines and Shell Diesel. The program has really been a big hit with consumers.”
To start taking advantage of the savings, consumers can sign up for a Stop & Shop card today and start earning Gas Rewards points. Customers may redeem their Gas Rewards points at participating Shell stations by using their Stop & Shop Card at the pump, manually entering their card number which will instantly initiate the fuel savings at the pump. Gas Rewards are reflected at the bottom of Stop & Shop receipts as well as online in a customer’s “My Stop & Shop” section of www.stopandshop.com and via Stop & Shop’s free mobile app. Gas Rewards points expire 30 days from the day they are earned.
