The Offer
- Receive 4x fuel points on gift cards purchased from Kroger by adding the digital coupon to your Kroger card
- Valid through June 19, unlimited use
This deal should be valid at Kroger and all other Kroger-affiliated stores, like Ralph’s, Smith’s, Fry’s, etc. Check out your online account to find the offer at your local store.
The standard deal at Kroger stores is 2x fuel points on gift card purchases, and they’ll occasionally release offers like this one to get 4x fuel points.
All third-party gift cards seem to be included in this offer. In the past, there have been mixed reports on whether fixed-denomination Visa/MC/Amex gift cards worked to trigger the bonus fuel points. The terms imply that they do work, but it’s YMMV in practice.
Double Points on Weekends
We already posted this offer a couple weeks ago, but we’ll add it here again as a reminder since it’s valid the entire summer.
- Get double fuel points on weekends the entire summer through July 31
- Weekends are defined as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
This offer for double fuel points the whole summer is valid only on ordinary grocery purchases (not gift cards). The previous offer of 4x until June 19 is valid on gift cards only.
Gift Card Deals
There are also a bunch of digital coupons for discounts on gift cards which stack nicely with the 4x fuel points deal. (As an added bonus, previous reports indicate that the fuel points come through on the face-value of the gift card even when paying less due to a coupon.)

Our Verdict
Good to see fuel points deals now which pairs beautifully with the 5x rewards using the Chase Freedom card for Q2 2016. For the next couple weeks, you can get all three of these deals when shopping at Kroger-stores: 4x fuel points on gift cards, discounted gift card deals, and 2x fuel points on all purchases.
Usually, every 1000 fuel points will get you a discount of $1 per gallon with a 35-gallon limit, a max value of $35 per 1000-points. These details do vary by store and region.
To maximize the deal even further, remember that you can get free cell phone service with Kroger when you earn fuel rewards points; no points are used up with this benefit, it’s just an additional free perk which you get from fuel points, aside from the free gas.
