Giant Eagle Adds Incentive to Fuelperks, Faces Lawsuit

Giant Eagle might be ending foodperks!, but it's also adding extra incentive to use its fuelperks! program.

The company has announced the last day to earn foodperks! will be Feb. 13, but Giant Eagle is also rolling out a new 3-cent program that gives customers extra incentive to choose GetGo over other gas stations. The program started Feb. 4.

"The new GetGo 3-cent program is simple," said Rob Borella, Senior Director of Corporate Communications. "Every time a customer scans his or her Giant Eagle Advantage Card while fueling at GetGo and isn’t redeeming fuelperks!, he or she will receive 3-cents off per gallon."

Meanwhile, a company that helped Giant Eagle initiate its Fuelperks program is now suing the grocer, the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports. 

Excentus, a Dallas company, alleges breach of duties, patent infringement and unfair competition in a lawsuit filed late Friday. Read the entire P-G story on the lawsuit here.
