Offer Terms

Offer redeemed when you present your Card at checkout and will be applied to your grocery order before taxes and after all other coupons and savings are applied.
Valid 10/30 – 11/5/2020.

Using Points

For every 100 points are worth $0.10 off per gallon on your fill up of up to 20 gallons, or 30 gallons in some states. The more you can pump in one transaction, the better the deal gets. If you buy more than one gift card, you’ll obviously get more points. But you can only redeem up to 1500 points per transaction at some locations, which is $1.50 off per gallon. Some places you can use even more, up to free gas.

Points can be redeemed at gas stations at these supermarkets, or participating Shell locations which can be found here.

Don’t buy too many cards if you don’t drive much, as point expire in 30 days or at the end of the following month. Also try to fill up with an empty tank to maximize your profits. Read more here on how to use your points and see the new option introduced now to use the points on groceries as well.

How To Liquidate Gift Cards

Mastercard Gift Cards are not as easy to use as Visa. You can still use them at WalMart to purchase money orders, but you need to quickly hit cancel on the keypad after swiping to switch to debit and it doesn’t always work. You can also use them for bill pay at Walmart and Kmart. Also check out smaller local stores near you that sell WU money orders.

Guru’s Wrap-up

A good deal for savings on gas, or even on groceries if you don’t drive much. The extra points are in addition to the rewards that your earn with one of the best cards for grocery purchases. Now you have even more option, as many issuers have improved earning on groceries. Earlier today I wrote about new offers for Chase cards that can earn you 5X on these purchases.
