Food Perks/Western Pennsylvania Giant Eagle

[Vegasgal]

A family member who's a manager at Giant Eagle just told me that they are going to be rolling out the Food Perks program in our area. They are offering it to employees shortly and then offering it to the public in about a month or so.

You earn a percentage off groceries for gas at GetGo. I believe it's 1% per 10 gallons of fuel. Not sure how long you can hold on to them before they expire. We currently have it at the Giant Eagle's in Central Ohio. I think it's been in effect for us for 6-8 weeks

COOL, Thanks

I'm not 100% positive on this but this is what I heard. Every time you fill up at Get Go you get Food Perks. Like the previous poster mentioned you accumulate a percentage discount that you can then use on groceries. You are suppose to be able to get them even on the gas you buy using your fuel perks. You can only receive a maximum of 20% off your order.

When you check out the cashier is suppose to ask you if you want to use them for your order. I'll plan on saving mine and using them on a shopping trip when I stock up on meat and not on my frequent small orders.

I'm in Westmoreland County but I think they are doing it throughout Western PA.

My brother is a Getgo manager at one of the larger Getgo stores and here's what he told me about Foodperks.

Columbus-area is the first place to get this. He did not say when it is coming to Western PA but I'm sure it will once they test it.

For every 10 gallons of fuel you pump, you will be awarded a 1% discount on future purchases at Giant Eagle. The rewards expire in a similar manner as to Fuelperks....the last day of the month, three months after they are earned. (if you earn them in April 2009, they will expire on July 31, 2009). The max you will be allowed to use on one order is 20% rewards. The rewards must be used on an order under $300. The rewards you do not use, will carry over until next time.

Has anyone in Ohio noticed the price of gas going up after the program started?

I noticed the gas at our Get Go was $1.99 today and the other two gas stations a half mile away had it or $1.91 a gallon. They used to be very close in price. Might just be a fluke.

Thanks all for the explanation. I'll have to keep my eyes out for the program.
