Excentus Expands fuelperks!

DALLAS -- Excentus, the provider of the fuelperks! rewards program launched fuelperks! Online Shopping. Now, in addition to earning discounts on gasoline by shopping at participating grocery stores like BI-LO, Copp's, Martin's, Pick 'n Save, Rainbow and Winn-Dixie, fuelperks! members will have the ability to earn five cents per gallon or more in fuelperks! rewards for every $50 dollars spent making online purchases. More than 700 merchants are currently participating in the fuelperks! Online Shopping program, the company reported.

Members may access fuelperks! Online Shopping by visiting the company's newly designed Web site at www.fuelperks.com. Actual purchases are made through the individual online merchant's Web site, and the fuelperks! rewards are usually deposited into members' accounts in three to five days, the company reported.

Consistent with how fuelperks! rewards are earned at most participating fuelperks! grocery stores, the $50 purchase amount threshold within fuelperks! Online Shopping may be met in single or multiple transactions. Plus, some Online Shopping merchants offer increased earning opportunities (two-times, three-times, etc.) which will help members reach the $50 threshold more quickly by doubling or tripling the purchase amount.

In addition to Online Shopping, other features were made available to members through the new and improved fuelperks! Web site. Members can now link multiple loyalty cards under a primary member account and keep track of the fuelperks! rewards they have accumulated and subsequently redeemed through the revamped member account overview section. The Web site also offers enhanced mapping capabilities enabling members to find issuing and redeeming sites more fluidly. Members may also receive SMS text messages with their account balance if they register their cell phone number on the Web site.
