Our Verdict
The standard deal at Kroger 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 should work with the first coupon, and the second coupon will cover fixed-value Visa/MC gift cards. Kroger gift cards or variable-load Visa/MC gift cards won’t earn fuel points.
An interesting angle here is that the general gift card coupon typically covers fixed-value Visa/MC gift cards. There’s a chance that someone who has both coupons will actually earn 8x fuel points (a similar thing has happened in the past). Let us know if you try.
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.
You can also get free cell phone service with Kroger when you earn fuel rewards points.
