DW and I like to accumulate 600 Giant points, then meet up after work at the same Shell station to fill up both cars on the same pump.
Stupid, right? |

| My husband and I have done that before too. I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to though, and I think there's a gallon maximum - 20 or something? |

It's 25 gallons which is plenty to fill up the CR-V and the compact. |

Why, what happens on Thursdays? |

| Shell discounts gas by 5 cents a gallon every Thursday.. |

| Thanks for the Thurs tip! We also take two cars. |

| Reward rules limit the discount to one vehicle up to 35 gallons. I'd rather play by the rules than cheat. Silly, I know. |

| How do you get 600 points before some of them expire? Do you only shop at Giant? I can never get more than 400, but I also shop at multiple grocery stores. |

Probably by using the coupons in the Giant ad that comes in the Wash Post that give an extra 300 or 400 points |

I have 1.40 right now  Giant is my closest option so it is my main source.

| How do you get both cars filled up at once time? We tried it once, but the sale closed before we could get the second car up to the pump. |

+1, my highest was $1.80. My goal is the full $2.20, but all the stars have to align for that (coupon for extra points, monthly meat purchase, laundry detergent, etc). |
