Giant Eagle Fuel /Food Perks update
Original article, in case you didn't hear of the changes:
Giant Eagle customers will no longer be able to use Food Perks to save on groceries. The supermarket retailer is ending the popular program, but giving customers new ways to save on fuel. Giant Eagle will end their Food Perks Program on February 13th. Advantage Card holders must use any remaining discounts by May 31st, but they will continue to receive the 10 cents per gallon discount on gas when they spend $50 at GE. Company officials decided to discontinue the program after customers said it was too complex.
Update from GE regarding new incentive:

I rarely get on my soap box about anything but when I saw people on the news going on and on about how could GE do this to them and it is their right. Um no it is not. It is a PERK they created. Got me all fired up about how people think they are entitled to everything these days. Sure I used the food perks too. But if it goes away then shop somewhere else and move on.
LOL. I totally agree with you. What is so confusing about it?
I couldn't care less if they do away with their programs. We don't really shop at Giant Eagle because they're too expensive, and I can usually get my gas cheaper at Sheetz or CoGos.
They are getting rid of it because it is too expensive but it sounds better to say it was confusing. They decided it is better to lower prices than to give a discount and with the new Common Cents doing well without any perk programs, they figure it was a good direction.
I do most of my shopping at GE, but rarely saved that much with Foodperks mostly because I would forget and the cashier never asked if I wanted to use them.
I rarely got that big of a discount because we aren't close to a Get-Go to build up a huge percentage, plus I have a 12 gallon tank. Nathan's truck(diesel) has a 30 gallon tank but we use Fuelperks to fill that thing and his FJ only has a 14 gallon tank.
I agree with Caron, some of the people on FB that were so irate where a bit ridiculous in their comments. They are letting you use them until May, its not like any discounts that were earned were wiped out.
I'm sure this is true.
For me, this is good, as I never accumulated much in the way of foodperks. Now on the rare occasion I go to GE outside of fuelperks, I'll get a little bit off. I think all of last year I saved maybe $6 on foodperks.
Same here Caron! DH has a 30-gallon tank and I have a 20-gallon tank. He fills up every 2-3 weeks, and I fill up every week with my commute. So I make sure we both fill up at GetGo.
It was a nice program while they offered it. I just won't go out of my way to fill up there now. And while GE can be more expensive than Aldis, Walmart and Bottom Dollar, if you shop their sales with double coupons, some of the deals just can't be beat.

Shop N Save is still cheaper.
Not the one by me! It is ridiculously more expensive, but S&S are independently owned and operated.
Same here, Kris! However, the guy who owns ours offers 2- and 3-day sales all of the time, it seems, so I shop those.
