Awesome Gas Points Money Maker Deal at Giant!


This week Giant has an incredible money maker deal for gift cards! They are offering 5X the amount you spend in gas points. All gift cards except for Giant, Telecom, and reloadable cards are included. Your biggest bang for the buck is the Mastercard.  

Here is the scenario:
- Buy an adjustable rate Mastercard prepaid debit card and load $500 on to it. You will have to pay an activation fee of $5.95, so your total outlay will be $505.95.
- Earn 2500 fuel points or $2.50 off per gallon.

This equates to a savings of:
$87.50 when you buy 35 gallons of gas
$62.50 when you buy 25 gallons of gas
$37.50 when you buy 15 gallons of gas



No matter how you work it, this is a major money maker after your $5.95 activation has been subtracted. The beauty of this deal is that you can "roll" the Mastercard by using it to buy another one. The next time you will just pay $5.95 out of pocket and earn another 2500 fuel points! 


If you don't want to dole out $500 all in one shot, you could put $200 on the card and earn $1.00 off per gallon. Then your savings would be:

$35.00 when you buy 35 gallons of gas
$25.00 when you buy 25 gallons of gas
$15.00 when you buy 15 gallons of gas

Still an awesome deal, especially if you roll the card to accumulate more gas points.

This deal is valid through Thursday, February 20, 2014.
