Our Verdict
See the Fuel Perks FAQ for more details. They offered a similar deal last easter as well.
Unfortunately, these cards have higher fees than regular vgc, so must weigh that as well as the new points system which is now everywhere. These cards are also not in every location.
New system not in Pittsburgh area yet. Found three of these cards and the pos is not hard coded properly to issue the bonus fuel perks. Customer service told me they added the extra fuel perks but apparently did not, will have to try again.
I emailed customer service but haven’t heard back yet. Keep us informed on any new info. TIA!
I received my bonus fuel perks for the 3 cards I bought. I really am apprehensive about buying any more until I am sure that they fixed the problem.
These are now hard coded into the system. Just grabbed a few more.
Just curious to know, when they finally got hard coded into the POS, was it awarding $0.20 per $50 loaded or was it just a single $0.10 bonus per card?
In other words: on a $200 load, would you get $0.50 or $0.80 in fuel perks?
I went to GE on Sunday and they had a sign posted for the 20 cents on these cards. I bought 4 and got the full .80 per card.
Just for infor, Giant Eagle here in Cleveland the promo is 20 cents for every $50 GC on the promo list. HTH.
Just bought 1 @206.95 and got .40 fuelperks, so nothing special here unless you really only wanted to put $50 on it for 56.95. (Max gc is $200 at GE)
Huh. Giant Eagle changed their fuel perks where I am – Columbus. They changed to “points” and it doesn’t seem as good so far. We’ve got a different ad.
I am also from Columbus. I actually just went to a Giant Eagle and they don’t sell Five Back cards. Also like Steve said, the fuelperks is based on a point system. Every $1 spent = 1 point, and every 50 points is 10 cents off gas.
So this is essentially the same as before.
Are you sure it is 20¢ per $50 load? It says 20¢ when you load $50 or more. This is one time bonus even if you load $500, unless you can load it multiple times.
That’s what I thought when I read the ad but would love to be wrong.
I went to 2 separate Giant Eagles. The first has every gift card in the world but doesn’t carry the 5% back. Later in the day, I went to another GE and bought 3 cards. I received 10 cents per $50 load. I did not receive the 20 cents.
I guess I can contact customer service?
