Update: This could be a regional deal based on gas points.
Details – There is an upcoming gift card deal at Giant. You’ll get 3x Extra Bonus Points with the your gift card purchases. This means for every $100.00 spent, you’ll get $.30 off per gallon, up to 3o gallons. These deals are valid 5/4/14. Please check your store for participating gift cards – however, Giant and Martins gift cards are normally excluded, so please check before purchasing these.
You can buy a Master Card / Visa Gift Card but will have to pay an activation fee. The best bet is to buy a Mastercard /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 Master Cards, you can do this deal:
Giftcard Deal:
Buy Master Card $500.00 + $5.95 Activation Fee
Pay $505.95
Get $45.00 in gas ($1.50 off in gas x 30 gallons)
$39.05 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.

Ying says
I have this deal in my ad. Can I buy 5 $100 store gift cards (eg macys) to get the most out of the deal and avoid the activation fee or it’s only limited to one gift card?

Just a heads up that the circular I got for Montgomeryville PA has this offer in their circular.
Wendy says
Is this the only gas deal this week? Just curious and thanks for all your help!
Shannon says
Wendy,
This is from an area that has choice rewards and not gas points only.
Wendy says
Ok, my store does offer that choice so maybe that will be me. Thanks for the answer.
Carrie says
Would we be able to take the visa/ MasterCard to an ATM and withdraw the money back?
Kristen says
No. The cards do not allow cash-back transactions. But, you can use them to pay bills online, etc.
Lauren says
I wish I could pay my mortgage with a visa card! LOL
Paul says
Me too Lauren!
Liesa says
Check with your mortgage company….That’s what I did, during the last promotion. They even let me use 2 gift cards at the same time. Great way to stretch the dollars!
Bonnie in PA says
Awesome!
The fine print says this deal is good till 5/12. So I can do this on Mother’s Day for the next redemption period.
Shannon says
Bonnie,
We are checking to see if this is in all areas.
Bonnie in PA says
I hope everyone get its. I will have to wait for Saturday when the local paper comes out with the ad I guess.
