Our Verdict
Grocery discounts are nice. Similar deal available at CVS.
Hat tip to GC Galore
Beware that the point of sales will encourage you to join their new perks program which is a significant devaluation if you were maximizing the fuelperks. Previously 50 points were redeemable for 10 cents off per gallon (up to 30 gallons) or essentially $3. The new program is a flat $1 off for each 50 points.
Agreed. They are pushing this hard. I think it only makes sense for people who may be driving electric cars or mopeds. And, even then, I am not so sure.
I have accidentally switched to the new perks program. It seems it’s not reversible.
yep! All you have to do is hit the wrong button at checkout and you have made the switch. I had to stop and think before I pushed anything. I’ve made mistakes like that before. I feel for ya.
Says “first time.” Anybody have success doing it this go-round after having utilized the offer when they had it previously? (Both PP and V).
Good
Did it work buying gift cards?
Yes. I buy $40 GE gift cards which I can later use on grocery and gas at my choosing. Easiest thing to do for me.
There is a new offer available for the first purchase of $40+. Expires 5/20/2022. Limited to first 19,951 customers.
Where did you see this? I can’t find it.
In Venmo app, click on the 2nd tab at the bottom of the screen showing a V card. You will find it in the Debit Card > Explore offers > Featured QR Offers. PayPal app shows an advert in the front loading page along with the CVS and any other QR offers.
I did it today. Will update when I see the $10.
Paypals earnings negatively impacted by its marketing campaigns.

Not me doing the CVS and bloomingdale deals 20 times each. Easy money. $400 from CVS and $1000 from Bloomingdales. Net Profit around $1250
I thought cvs was one time only
New paypal/venmo terms state the offer runs through Dec 31, 2038. For Venmo, an invite is required; for paypal just having a paypal account is the requirement.
It did not work today.
when was the last time it worked for you?
Venmo or paypal?
Its dead for Paypal. It didn’t work for me today either. It last worked for me on January 22nd which was the last time I tried prior to today.
Where are you seeing the terms for this? A friend just tried using PayPal this evening and said nothing triggered. I was using PayPal this morning and got the offer to work without issue.

It worked for me yesterday morning, but nothing triggered today.
Did you use paypal or venmo?
I used PayPal.
I used Paypal.
Nether paypal (today) nor Venmo (yesterday) worked for me
Paypal didn’t work for me as of this morning. Venmo didn’t work yesterday. Looks to be dead.
Is the Venmo deal for Giant eagle $10 Cashback still active? I don’t see it under Offers anymore.
I don’t see it as well.
Looks to be gone as of this AM. Used this yesterday with no issues.
Looks to be gone; transactions yesterday worked, transactions today didn’t.
Does PayPal still work? I don’t see any offer in PayPal app. Do I have to use Venmo?
Outstanding deal. I live in GE’s market area, and it’s sometimes difficult to find someone who knows how to work the QR reader.
Works at self checkout
How? Which payment option did you choose?
There’s now a payment option for QR codes. It’s new (few weeks)
If you hit finish and pay, there’s an option for QR code payment. Select that and scan your phone QR with scanner gun.
