Giant Eagle announced a reinventing of their fuel points program. The Fuelperks! program is now called Fuelperks+ and allows redemption for gas as well as for groceries. Additionally, you can now earn fuel points when buying gas for every gallon purchased.
- As before, customers will earn $0.10 in fuel discounts for every $50 spent, but now that $0.10 reward can instead be redeemed as 2% off groceries – up to 20% off any size order with no limit.
- Customers will earn one perk for every dollar spent on groceries and other eligible items inside a Giant Eagle, Market District and GetGo store. Customers will earn two perks for every gallon of fuel pumped at GetGo.
If I’m reading this right, it sounds like if you were to spend $500 on groceries thus accruing $1 in rewards, you can then either use them for $1 off up to 30 gallons of gas – a max $30 value – or get 20% off any size grocery order; if you have a large grocery order of, say, $1,000, you’d land up getting $200 off that order.
I love the shift to allow gas rewards go toward groceries (there was one other grocery chain that did this in the past couple years as well, maybe it was Safeway) since it removes the highly capped nature of gas rewards. Different people have varying amounts of gas usage, but groceries is a fairly constant need for everyone.
