Some of the participating retailers include Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, The Gap, Old Navy, Dick's Sporting Goods, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, Toys 'R Us and Borders.

"It takes a lot of groceries to get up to that, so it'll be easier going to Home Depot or Best Buy," said Walt Holohan, a shopper.

"I like to see what I'm buying before I purchase it. It makes it convenient, but doesn't give you a true idea of what you need," said Jeff Marshall, a shopper.

Some said fuel perks could be an incentive to shop online even though they don't normally do so.

"I'd rather just go to the store and just have it right there and no wait for the shipping, but if you buy something expensive and got, what is it, $50, You may as well," said Luke Hillegas, a shopper.
