Beginning on May 14, Giant and Shell customers in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas, and select cities in Delaware and Virginia north of Fredericksburg will be able to shop at their neighborhood Giant stores and save on fuel at participating Shell stations by using their Giant card.

For every 100 Giant Gas Rewards points earned when shopping at Giant, customers can save 10 cents per gallon instantly on their next fuel purchase at more than 400 participating Shell stations, up to 35 gallons per purchase. Customers can save 10 cents, 20 cents, 30 cents or more per gallon at participating Shell stations. Points can also be redeemed at Giant gas stations.

Customers earn one Gas Rewards point for every dollar spent at Giant stores with their Giant card. Gas Rewards points will automatically be added to a shopper's Giant card and will be reflected on the shopper's receipt and at the pump.
