[Expired]4x Fuel Points at Kroger-chain Stores (expires 09/06) – Starts This Friday

The Offer

  • Receive 4x fuel points on the purchase of gift cards at Kroger and the other stores in that chain. Keep in mind that this deal starts this Friday.

Typically, these stores offer 2x fuel points on gift card purchases, and they’ll occasionally release offers like this one to get 4x fuel points.

The Fine Print

  • Expires 09/06/15
  • Be sure to use you Kroger Plus card when making the purchase.
  • Offer can be found under Digital Coupons
  • In the past, there have been mixed reports on whether fixed-denomination Visa/MC/Amex gift cards worked to trigger the bonus fuel points.

Our Verdict

Usually every 1000 points gets you a discount of up to $1 per gallon (with 35 gallon limit), but this varies by store and region and some regions have a maximum discount whereas others you can get completely free gas. Points are awarded on the face value on a card and not the cost (e.g you don’t earn points on gift card fees).

If you purchased a $250 gift card you’d earn 1,000 points which is enough for $1 off per gallon which would save you $35 on a 35 gallon tank, you’d also earn credit card rewards and remember Kroger should code as a grocery store and plenty of credit cards offer a category bonus on those stores.

To maximize the deal even further, remember that you can get free cellphone service with Kroger when you earn fuel rewards points (you don’t need to redeem them for this, this is in addition to getting free/cheap gas).

Anyone know whether any Detroit-area Kroger stores permit gift card purchases with credit cards?

From what I know all the Kroger brands will sell a GC with a CC, but the ones I’ve tried will scan your ID and match CC to ID.

Not anywhere I’ve been within 50 miles of Detroit, no. Cash or debit only.

Did you purchase too many of them and did they decide to ban you by just recognizing you or what? I have purchased giftcards with CC in Kroger in Novi, Livonia, Westland, Canton, Taylor. All these locations no one ever said to me Cash or Debit only.

That just tortures me to learn. I’m in Ann Arbor with no car.

I really wish there was a kroger here, the only largeish grocery chain here other than walmart does not give rewards for any GC purchase.

I find the best thing to do when this promotion comes up is to buy a $500 eBay GC with my Amex BCP.

6% CB on $500 = $30
2000 fuel points = $1 off 70 gallons = $70
=$100 off total

So I basically get a $500 eBay GC for $400, a 20% discount!
(Assuming you purchase 35gal of gas each time)

I of course then use this to purchase other GCs on eBay and earn eBay bucks and cashback through portals and resell them for a profit. It’s a never-ending cycle.
