The Offer

Direct Link (filter by ‘gift cards’)

Kroger stores have a fuel points offer through October 1:

• Receive 4x fuel points on gift cards purchased from Kroger by adding the digital coupon to your Kroger card
• 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 coupon at your local store.

Additional Details

• 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.
• 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.

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 were to max out on the 35 gallons, you can get up to $35 value from purchasing $250 worth of gift cards with this deal, a 14% discount on the gift cards.
