Giant Eagle ~ Other: Fuelperks to expire at GE 2 months after earned

[pittsburgh24]

Was just watching kdka and they said that GE is changing their fuelperk program so that instead of expiring 3 months after earning, they will expire 2 months after earning

NOOOOO!!!! That's not enough time!

at least they didn't go to 60 days like SNS or month after like Foodland

Well hopefully they will start with some more bonus items like the cereal. I usually need 2 1/2 months to earn a free tank. I have been lucky lately because of the 20 cent gift cards, then I bought a new laptop and now the cereal. I just got a free tank 2 weeks ago and will have another free tank after I get my cereal today.

I wonder if they will apply that to the foodperks as well.

Yep.. according to customer service, both programs will now expire at the end of 2 months. This is a huge incentive for me to start shopping at Shop N Save more. I've been forcing myself to go to GE only so I can build both programs. Combine this with the crappy ads they've been having... it's enough to drive a (couponing) lady mad!

I just saw a sign at my store for $.10/$50. I didn't think that would ever come to this store it has been $.20 for as long as I can remember even when stores 20mi away were $.10. :(

Of course it's just two months now instead of three for the foodperks because I finally get to participate. I suppose it could be worse, but I am concerned it's going to get worse since they are changing the program and the sales are getting not as profitable. Plus, the coupons are available in the middle of a current sale instead of a week ahead of time like before and with lesser values.
