I just checked and the perks are still on my cart wheel. I don't really see how Spot is losing that much ( if any) money or cart wheel. For example, I have gotten two free bottles of laundry detergen( iths the perk I chose)t via the perks program. However, to get those two free bottles...I had to spend a combined total of 1000 bucks. So, for each 500 dollars I spent I got a free bottle of laundry detergent. Yes, something free is better than nothing free. But, its not like they are giving away Ipads etc.
