It's $2k in one visit that requires the log. Giant seems to include fees in the amount. The limit is definitely YMMV just like CVS was. I've never tried a split transaction. I don't mind being in the log book, and the manager at my local store hasn't raised an eyebrow leading me to believe many are doing the same thing. They all know it's for the gas promotion, so there's no need to be evasive. Just go to customer service and ask what that store's limit is and go with it. If the cashier only feels comfortable ringing up x amount per transaction/visit/day, buy x and come back another day.
