Do you know any good way to print these from an iPhone??

I don’t think there is a way to print the Redplum coupons from an iPhone. The only ones that I know can be printed are the coupons.com ones and you have to download the free app to be able to print. I wish all coupons could be printed from iphones/ipads!

They let you grab that many? I’d love to hear how many fuel perks you have by now. Are you using any coupons???

They did let me get that many and I was totally prepared to hear that they had a limit! I received $8.80 fuelperks today total (I did some cereal deals too). I also had some fuelperks left over from last fill-up so I have $12.05 available! That’s the most I ever had! I did use some coupons from the paper and 2 printables. Since it was Sunday and they were kinda busy, I didn’t split my transaction up to use my other printables.

So my other question would be: because you have that many fule perks, do they carry over. Example gas near me is $3.50 a gallon, so if I would have 12.05 in fp, would I lose what I don’t use? this always confuses me.

According to their FAQ’s (http://www.gianteagle.com/FAQ/Faqitem.aspx?categoryId=2#8):

What if my discounts are more than the gas price?
If you’ve earned fuelperks!® discounts in an amount more than the current price of gas, your remaining discounts will be saved for a future visit.

For example, if you have $3.00 per gallon in discounts and gas is $2.50 per gallon, 50¢ will remain on your Giant Eagle Advantage Card®.

Don’t forget they will expire at the end of September.

That’s very important to remember, and the reason I keep my Fuelperks under $10. Because when using 30 gallons it takes time and I don’t want them to expire.

I have never had a problem printing Redplum before and a box keeps popping up telling me I am new to Redplum, which I am not, and to click run before I can print. Shows a sample, but no real button. Anyone know what I can try? is this happening to anyone else?

11 Tammy July 22, 2012 at 11:26 pm

I got the same box but after about thirty seconds, the real one popped up an I was able to click “allow”. I’m not sure what’s going on with their site that is giving everyone so much trouble today:(

I am also getting this box about clicking run on one of my computers. On the other computer, it says that coupon is printing, but that is as far as it goes. Nothing prints. I have enough tuna but thought I would get a few more with this coupon since it has such a long exp. date and is such a good deal.

I’m having this issue also. I have printed from red plum before on this computer with no issues and then as of the last few days this keeps poping up. would love to print this new coupon and i have tried everything i can think of including downloading java again.

Tammy,

I don’t understand this deal. Could you please tell me how much your spending out of pocket to get the fuel perks. $1.25 x 12 (.55 x 12DND= $6.60) = $15 – $6.60 = $8.40. So this is what we would spend oof but I don’t understand who you factor in the fuel perks. What am I missing or not understanding about this deal? Sorry but any help I’d appreciate. Thanks so much.

Annie – so if you are buying 12 packs of tuna, the deal would look like this:
12 pks @ $1.25 each = $15
Use (12) 55¢/1 from paper (subtracts $6.60)**
Pay: $8.40 at the register and earn 90¢ in fuelperks

90¢ worth of fuelperks is equal to $27 when you get 30 gallons of gas (.90 x 30 = 27). In order to get that much gas at once, many of us need to take extra 5-gallon gas cans to fill up. So basically you are paying $8.40 to get $27 worth of gas PLUS you are getting 12packs of tuna as well! You can look at it as you are “making” $18.60 since you would be buying gas anyway ($27 – $8.40 = $18.60).

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions or if this is still confusing:)

**if you can print any of the 55¢/1 coupons that double or the $1/1 posted here, it will be an even better deal – but you will only be able to use two of each in a single transaction since they are printed coupons.

Can someone double check my math for me, before I head to the store! LOL

100 packs of tuna @ $1.25 each = $125 (assume no coupons)
25 (sets of 4) x $0.30 = $7.50 in fuelperks
$7.50 x the max. 30 gallons = $225 in gas
$225 in gas – $125 spent on the tuna = $100 moneymaker (via free gas)

Is this correct? I feel like I’m overthinking this haha!

Nicole – that’s exactly right:) Good Luck! I’m hoping many stores are getting them back in stock and that they aren’t setting a strict limit! There aren’t many stores that you can get a deal like that at :)

I am still having difficulty printing… I let it load and it looked it was going to print, but then after a couple of minutes, I got a server error message box. Anyone else having luck with this? Thanks!

I’m having problems printing too – I am guessing they underestimated the power of a good tuna deal!

21 Seth July 23, 2012 at 10:53 am

Ok…so I decided to do this deal. I picked up 50 @ $1.25 and used 12 coupons for $.55 DND and two of the $.55 coupons that doubled. I paid:
$62.50 – 12 $.55 coupons – ($6.60 DND coupons) = $55.90 – 2 $.55 that doubled ($2.20) = $53.70 oop but then received $3.80 in fp. $3.80 x 30 gallons of gas = $114 in savings? Is that correct or am I off on my calculations? First time I have ever had that many fp so I’m not going to complain. Who wants to come over for tuna sandwiches…lol!

22 Tammy July 23, 2012 at 11:05 am

You are right! You got $3.60 from the Tuna and you must have got $.20 from regular fuelperks:) Gas is under $3.80 right now (at least in most areas I think….) so you’ll be getting a fill-up without having to pay (since you already paid for it at the grocery store)! Make that Tuna Melts and I’ll be there – haha:) Eggs are going to be only $1 next week so now we just need a great Mayo deal! For those that make Tuna melts, the Sargento Cheese is a great price this week!
