Today was a Great Day of Deals....

There were a bunch of great deals that came out today.  Here are the highlights:

• Big Habitat - Staples went a little crazy today trying to sell their wares for as little as possible - 25% Rewards Coupon available all week and $240 of eGift cards for $200 via Cashstar.  $200 card arrives immediately, $40 of promo cards only arrive on 6/21/2015.
• Chase Ink won't give you 5x for buying the cards since it isn't sold directly from Staples.  I used my newly minted NBA card, hopefully I will get 5% cashback, assuming they pay out for online purchases.
• Top Cashback should be paying 2% for cashstar purchases, but they direct you to one specific gift card site. I clicked on "Powered by Cashstar" on the bottom and go to the regular site from there.  Hopefully, I get an extra 2%.  If I don't, no biggie.

Visa Gift Cards at Stop & Shop and Giant- 2x Fuel Points

Via Doctor of Credit

Stop & Shop and Giant supermarkets are offering 2x fuel points for buying Visa Gift Cards until 3/26/2015.  Normally, Visa Gift Cards do not qualify for any fuel points.



You need to join the loyalty program of Stop & Shop or Giant.



Use the American Express Blue Preferred to get 6% cashback (about $24 after fees for a $500 Visa Gift card) or Chase Freedom to finish off your 5% cashback for this quarter (max of $1,500 in spending for 5% cashback)


Every $100 you spend earns 100 points which is 10 cents a gallon.  $1,000 of spending is $1 off per gallon.  You are earning double points so every $500 Visa Gift Card will you give you $1.00 a gallon off your next purchase of gas at Shell stations near your Stop & Shop.  

$1,000 of Visa Gift Cards will give you $2.00 a gallon off your next purchase of gas at Shell.

Fuel points must be redeemed within 30 days of purchase so only buy what you will use now.

Teaneck, NJ

In my area (Teaneck, NJ), there is a Stop and Shop that is loaded with plenty of $500 Visa Gift Cards and they let you use a credit card.  The maximum savings you can get off one fillup is $2.20 a gallon in my area.  That means you are basically getting a free tank of gas.


You need to hand your Stop & Shop card to the attendant before your gas is pumped to make sure you get the discount.  I have never personally redeemed fuel rewards but according to the Store Locator function, the Shell station on Cedar Lane should allow for redemptions.  That being said, I know that they do not allow for Fuel Rewards Network redemptions so you may have to go to a Shell Station on Route 4 or in Hackensack.
