Facebook has been buzzing since last Friday when the new Giant Gas Rewards Program went into effect. We have had hundreds of posts and probably 10 times as many comments in our Giant Facebook group. Our resident Giant expert tested several transactions as did many of our readers and sadly everybody was getting different results. Calls and emails to Corporate last week added to the confusion and frustration.
As of today, Wednesday October 5th, it appears we have the final word on how the Giant Gas Rewards Program is supposed to be working. When you spend $25 or more, after coupons and discounts, you can earn any and all gas rewards. For example, if you spend $25 after coupons, you can get (5) 400 point deals and (5) 500 point deals. This is what is being sent down from Corporate as of today.
What is unclear is if this is how it was supposed to be from the start or if the ton of emails they received made them change their mind. We may never know, but this is what is being announced as of 10/5. It also appears that many of the stores registers need to be programmed for this change, so it may take a day or two for everything to be updated. If you do a deal and it doesn’t give you the rewards that you are expecting email or call Corporate.

What if I spend $25 and want to do (4) 500 point deals but there are only enough items on the shelf for (1) 500 point deal? Do I get a rain check so I do not have to keep spending $25 over and over? And can I take that rain check to another store to use?

I bought 10 of the pantene and only got credit for 5 but they added the pts. I spent more than $25 but less than $50

You need to call or email Corporate so they know your location isn’t working properly.

Is there a $25 minimum spend requirement to earn any 400-point or 500-point rewards? For example, what if I want just one reward, not five or ten? I can’t find anything about the policy on Giant’s website Thank you.
Shanta says
Yes, if you want to do just one deal, you have a $25 minimum purchase requirement.

Thank you, Shanta! Can the $25 spend be met by including items in the gas deal? Or is it exclusive of those items?
Shanta says
The gas items are included.
