Ok - I am freaking out right now. I went online to check for e-offers and my account no longer has my advantage card registered to it. It says the card has been marked as no longer active and to check again. I am on hold with them right now but I suspect they are having a a big problem because I have been on hold for almost 10 minutes! Dh's account has the same problem (but our accounts are linked so that may be it.)
The reason I am a freaking out is because I have over $11 in Fuelperks on that card and you better believe I am not going to lose them!!!
Has anyone checked their account today or had any problems with their account?

I just logged in and it's showing the correct amount for my fuel perks.
I hope they fix it quickly for you - that's like 4 1/2 free tanks of gas!!!

No, I haven't had problems. I used my card today at the store and it had the correct amount of Fuel Perks attached.
Hope they fix it fast!

UPDATE;
Ok - long story short, it is all fixed. DH got a new card back in Feb. When he got that card it put a ticking timebomb on my card to deactivate after a certain period of time (despite the fact I use it practically every day!) So within the past day or so, they changed the settings on my card. I could still use it and rack up fuelperks, I just wouldn't have been able to redeem them :rolleyes24:
It is all fixed now and my $11.26 is safely back in my account (it was never gone just unuseable with my card.)
Thanks for the good vibes! After the events of this week, losing my fuelperks was one of the last things I needed to happen!!!
Whichway?

Question,
If I had save $3.75 off each gallon, and the gas was less, do I lose all of my fuel perks? Or does it subtract what I paid per gallon, and save the rest? I have not ever tracked this, and realized yesterday I should have filled up and used all of my perks.

I believe it subtracts it - so, gas was $2.49 last night and you'd have a balance of $1.26 still on your card

No, you do not lose yoru fuelperks. It only takes off the price of the gasoline you are puming. For instance, if you have $3.75 in fuelperks and you buy gas today at $2.49, it takes off $2.50 (technically gasoline is priced in 9/10ths so the gas is really $2.499) from your available fuelperks and you would have $1.25 remaining in fuelperks.
We have purchased several gasoline cans and always get our maximum amount of 30 gallons with every fill-up. If you rack up fuelperks, I would highly recommend doing the same.

Q) Has one ever spilled just a single drop of gasoline inside one's car?
It is the worst smell and it takes forever to go away.

When the spill happens, the odor is a gasoline odor.
The next day the odor morphs into a petroleum odor (like Vaseline).
Ugh!
It is just not worth it unless you transport the gasoline cans in the bed of a pickup truck.
Also, gasoline is very flamable.

Recently, in Akron, OH a house fire in the basement burned real intense and a three year old twin perished.
Later, it was determined that the parents stored gasoline in the basement.
Gasoline purchased from their FuelPerk discount (up to 30 gallons).

Here in northeastern OH, on Thursday, 11/06/2008, gasoline at GetGo is:
$1.99 / gallon

We stored the extra fuel in my car, lol. Husbands truck holds about 30 gallons, he puts the rest in a gas can and brings it home. If we didn't live in a condo, we'd use the excess fuel in lawn mowers and such.
That is amazing to have so much in FP!
