The Offer
- Kroger stores are offering 4x fuel points on gift cards through April 18th with digital coupon; unlimited use
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. The 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 coupon at your local store and load it to your card.
Additional Details
All third-party gift cards seem to be included in this offer, but not Kroger gift cards. 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.
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.) If you buy $250 in gift cards and max out the 35-gallons, it’ll end up a 14% discount on the gift cards.
To maximize the deal even further, remember that you can get free cell phone service with Kroger when you earn fuel rewards points.
Our Verdict
4x is always nice. This deal is especially nice being that it lasts for two full weeks. It’s an opportune time to rack up grocery store spend since Chase Freedom currently offers 5x there this quarter.
There’s also currently a digital coupon to get 10% off a fixed-value Google Play gift card through April 15th. This should stack with the 4x fuel points.
