Gift Card Deals
Kroger’s is currently offering discounts on a number of giftcards. To receive these discounts you need to log into your loyalty account and save them to your account. When you go in store you then need to swipe your loyalty card. You can only do each deal once per loyalty card.
Also keep in mind that you currently earn 4x Kroger fuel points until the 28th which makes this deal even better. I imagine these discounts will also show at other Kroger stores (e.g Smith’s, Ralphs etc, but not entirely sure).
Break Even/Profit Deals
All of these deals you’ll either make a profit or break even before taking into account credit card points and fuel discounts.
- Domino’s: $20 for $16 (resell value of 80% or $16 at Junkcard, no profit)
- Groupon: $15 off two $25 or more  gift cards e.g $50 for $35 (resell value of 80% or $40 at Gift Card Zen, profit of $5)
- Carnival Cruises: $10 off two Carnival gift cards, e.g $50 for $40 (resell value of 80% or $40 at ABC Giftcards/MonsterGiftcard, no profit)
- GAP: $10 off two $25 or more gift cards, e.g $50 for $40 (resell value of 81% or $40.5 at Giftcards.com, profit of $0.5)
Loss Deals
On all of these deals you’ll loss money, you might be able to turn a profit when you account for the fuel rebates and any credit card points you’ll earn – but I doubt it’ll be worth it. I’ve most included them in case somebody actually wanted to use any of these gift cards.
- Aerostaple: $5 off two gift cards, e.g $50 for $45 (resell value of 66.5% or $33.25, loss of $11.75)
- Fandango: $5 off one $25 or more gift card (resell value of 75.5% or at $18.875 SaveYa, loss of $1.125)
- Applebee’s:Â $5 off two $25 or more e.g $50 for $45 (resell value of 76.5% or $38.25, which is a loss of $6.25)
- Bath & Body Works: $5 off two $25 or more gift cards e.g $50 for $45 (resell value of 73% or $36.5 at SaveYa, which is a loss of $8.5)

- Payless Shoes: $10 off two $25 or more gift cards e.g $50 for $40 (resell value of 70.5% or $35.25 for a loss of $4.75)
- Spafinder: $10 off two $25 or more gift cards e.g, $50 for $40 (resell value of 66% or $33 at Junkcard, loss of $7)
- Yankee Candle: $5 off any gift cards, e.g $25 for $20 (resell value of 72.5% at Giftcards.com & SaveYa, which is a loss of $1.875)
Our Verdict
Let’s have a look at how we would do if we purchased the four gift cards that breakeven/make profit.
- Purchase total: $131
- Resale total: $136.5 (+$5.5)
- 524 in fuel points (half the way to $1 off a gallon of gas up to 35 gallons)
- If we used a card that earn 5% cash back at grocery stores we’d earn another $6.55 in cash back
Total profit of $12.05 + the fuel points. Probably not worth going out of your way to do, but none the less not a bad deal if you’re headed there anyway.
Hat tip to wnat35 on Slickdeals
Wonder if you can reload these offers/coupons after using them once?
How to apply for Kroger card? It would be great if you can give me more sight about this card.
It’s just their loyalty card, you can create an account here: https://www.kroger.com/account/create not much too it to be honest.
same here: “Groupon resell value of 80% or $35 at Gift Card Zen, profit of $5”
80% of $50 is $40 and not $35. What’s up Will?
Fixed, least I got the math right! Just confusion on my part copying and pasting everything over from GGC.
hey Doc, did you mean Kroger is offering discounts on a number of giftcards in your first sentence?
