BTW, having done this deal at both Giant PA and Giant MD, I think I like the Giant PA deal better. You only get 25 gallons, but you can make it entirely free; instead of 35 gallons at $2.20 off (which at least is getting closer to free now that gas is below $3.00). The 35 gallon limit encourages me to "caravan" my family's cars to the station at the same time, which is a PITA. And it seems more fun in PA when the pump price is "zero." I also like how you get more time (until the end of the next month) to use the points.
I don't like using a gas can to refill my tank. I'm getting better at it, but it still seems like I always spill a little (I have an old can). It just doesn't seem like a terribly good idea.
Dan's deals, huh? Maybe that announcement generated a LOT of new interest in this deal, as I went to three Giants in Chesco, Pa., and they had zero VGCs, except a few $25 denoms ... the word is out! Burning up gas driving to find points for gas!
