Giant Eagle Pro Perks?

[AndreaDM]

So I bought $1000 worth of gift cards from GE today since I received an email saying that through June 9 certain GCs (Disney included) would get 5x the perks. After I came back to work and looked at my receipt I noticed I had only gotten the 3x perks. It said something about pro perks adding within 48 hours. So will those other 2x perks add later? I've never noticed getting perks at different times, but I've also never really paid attention, but this was such a big purchase that I really scrutinized it. According the app, I am at Pro level so just confused. Thought I'd check here before going back and dealing with customer service. (I know GE is mainly Ohio & Western PA)

Update, the other 2x perks just posted, yay! Not sure why they didn't all post at once. Anyway, so I used my Amex to get 4x MR at grocery stores and bought $1000 worth of gcs to get $100 off my next shopping trip. So, 10% off and the 4x MR, def a better deal than going the Target route!

5x perks? I had the triple and used my Chase Freedom flex for 5 percent extra...but what is PRO Perks for 5 percent? I had the triple giant eagle but not 5?

GE changed up their perks system last year, it's confusing if you ask me. But if you earn 2500 perks in 6 months you're a "pro" and eligible for extra perks. You should be able to see in your account if you're pro status, if you are, the pro perks took a day to show up.

Thanks. Well I have 21.50 off a gallon lol but no mention of the word pro. I am sure you know this already but I will give you the advice I was given on AMEX. Keep the gift card purchases to under 10K at a gas station as they have been known to do " pull backs" on points as they indicate they don't cover purchases of GC on fuel. This doesn't seem to be an issue on Chase - if you have the sapphire the 5% is 6.25. I am sure you know all of this but I was reminded so I thought I would pass it on as well!
